Abstract
Crash data collection is crucial for road safety improvement, but Italy is considerably behind the best international practices. To help to bridge this gap, a critical review of international crash databases was carried out and recommendations for improvement of the Italian police crash data collection and the national crash database were formulated. Main issues identified in the research are related to the database access procedures, the crash report, the crash location, the crash classification, and the severity classification.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
