IRTAD
IRTAD (International Road Traffic and Accident Database) is a collection of data on traffic accidents in various countries inside and outside Europe.
In order to be able to access international accident data faster and more easily , the Federal Highway Research Institute (BASt) was commissioned in 1988 to create a database with statistical data on traffic accidents in different countries in order to be able to compare them. Since 2005 the database has been maintained by the "International Traffic Safety Data and Analysis Group" of the International Transport Forum (ITF), which is part of the OECD in Paris.
Data is currently available for the following countries: Australia, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Finland, France, Greece, Great Britain, Ireland, Iceland, Italy, Israel, Japan, Canada, Korea (South Korea), Luxembourg, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Norway, Austria , Poland, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland, Spain, Slovenia, Czech Republic, Hungary, USA. Some of the data can be traced back to 1970.
IRTAD is thus an effective tool for road construction and road traffic authorities, the police, automobile clubs, insurance companies and others who have to evaluate and assess accident developments in an international comparison.
