Studied approaches to accident data management in several countries
This includes several states in Australia, United Kingdom, United States, Eastern Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia, plus several other countries.
Hands-on, on-the site, involved study to understand the key issues involved
Recent experience of a large-scale data system project in Tamil Nadu State, India
We look forward to share some of these experiences

case study - results
• One year delay in using accident data
• No useful analysis done – only used for reporting in assembly/parliament queries
• Some systems not working, data not matching, no validations
• Some systems using maps, some not.
• No support & recognition for doing a good data collection job
• Reduced to 1-3 days• Accident data being used for
road safety interventions• Single set of data for all users.• Patterns being identified,
simple, effective, timely actions yielding good results
• Single, integrated map to plot accident locations.
• More recognition and focus, more central and other funding expected for specific problems.

success factors
1. Clear objectives with fairly well defined, detailed project requirements – before the project
2. Adoption of a proven commercial off the shelf (COTS) solution with a short implementation period
3. One single solution for multiple stakeholders
4. Instituionaling the solution between stakeholder departments - with well defined roles, responsibilities and governance mechanisms
5. Identifying the right vendor - Long term commitment to the solution, quality standards and delivery capabilities
6. Support & maintenance - 24x7x365 with Service Level Agreements (SLAs)
7. Comprehensive training component - short, medium and long term
8. Complete ownership from police. Why? Helps the officer on the field, his manager and at HQ .

Move towards one single solution for multiple stakeholders
Low risk to client, result oriented, short-term implementation
Increasing adoption of open standards and “enterprise” open source technology by governments
Highly user friendly, simple to use solutions but complex technology running behind
Systems with strong monitoring and evaluation capabilities
Solutions with Project Management capabilities to plan, implement, monitor and evaluate road safety interventions
Greater project size and complexity demanding scalable solutions
recent trends

Open architecture – high level of modularity
Data Warehousing and Business Intelligence capabilities
Web-enabled but technology and database independent solutions
Complex spatial capabilities, without any 3rd party GIS software
SOA enabled solutions – future proofing investment
Interfaces to multitude of legacy and disparate systems
Adoption of proven solutions, instead of development from scratch (7 out of 10 Government IT projects fail)
New modes of delivery – SAAS, rental, BOT

• Having clear “objectives” and detailed
requirements fundamental to success of
project
• Assisting police to benefit from data is key
to data quality
• New technology can reduce complexity of
crash data systems
• Low risk solutions preferable, with
committed vendors providing continuing
support
