  1. National Center for Health StatisticsInternational Collaborative Effort on Injury Statistics Joseph S. Carra Associate Administrator National Highway Traffic Safety Administration National Center for Statistics and Analysis Washington, DC

  2. Outline We will discuss: • A Overview of National Center for Statistics and Analysis • Critical Nature of Data • Goals of National Highway Traffic Safety Administration • Examples of Improving Data

  3. NHTSA and Data • NHTSA and the highway safety community overall are very data driven • Data are used extensively for: • Basic research • Identifying problem areas • Identifying program and rulemaking needs • Developing and evaluating programs, rules and standards • Evaluating new technologies • Allocating grants • Implementing GPRA

  4. What is NCSA? • Provides: • data collection, data analysis, and data dissemination on real world crashes and traffic records • To: • NHTSA , but also to: • other parts of DOT • outside stakeholders • automobile manufacturers • universities

  5. Ingredients of an Effective Crash Data Collection Program

  6. Why Are Data Critical? 1) Problem Identification Building A Data Collection System 6) Adjustments 2) In Depth Understanding 3) Approach To Addressing Problem 5) Evaluation 4) Development/Implementation Of Approach

  10. Crash Data Crash research and data collection tries to answer a basic set of questions regarding traffic crashes and their outcomes: Who, What, When, Where, Why and How?

  11. Data Qualities • Timeliness • - Is the data available when you need it? • Completeness • - Are you collecting the kinds of data that adequately address the problem? • Accuracy • - Reliability of data. Quality Control. • Accessibility • - Who are the main users of the data? Data dissemination. • Uniformity • - Can data be shared with other systems?

  12. NHTSA Global Road Safety Agenda • NHTSA will be a global leader in road traffic safety sharing its knowledge and expertise. • NHTSA will maintain its leadership and influence in international organizations that are stakeholders in regional or global road safety. • In particular, provide technical assistance to develop traffic safety data record systems

  13. Example • APEC – (Asia - Pacific Economic Cooperation) • Motivate – Encourage APEC economies to take necessary steps to improve their data. • Master Plan – Work with volunteer APEC economies to develop ways to improve their data. • Assessments – Evaluate existing systems. • Blueprint – Develop detailed design / redesign plan of action. • Implement – Perform or carry out plan of action.
