Minimum data
Provide road engineers with relevant information necessary for basic
accident causation investigation.
Example:
Accident identification (a unique number-based system);
Time (the date, hour, minute, and day of the week);
Location;
Accident type;
Vehicles involved (number, type);
Accident consequences (fatalities within 24 hours/30days,
injuries, material damage).
Can be easily introduced in countries without any accident recording
system as an early step for a system-based reporting system.
Doesn’t require huge financial resources, and only limited
human input is needed.
