International Association of Traffic and Safety Sciences (IATSS) and Asian Transportation
Research Society (ATRANS) held the joint session entitled "Data Collection on Motor Cycle
Crashes" in 12th annual conference.

Time 22nd, 23rd August 2019
Venue The Chatrium Hotel Riverside, Bangkok, Thailand
Session theme & background
Data collection on Motorcycle Crashes
- To reduce the fatalities caused by traffic crashes, the evidence based analysis and countermeasures are needed.
- IATSS has learned that data collection systems differ from country to country and also it is one of the key issues around the globe.
- Some countries say that they have already built their own traffic crash data collection and management system. Sharing their experience will help others to break through their issues.
- At the same time, as building such system requires more time, each country already might have introduced some countermeasures.
Series of the session (draft)
1st year (2019) : Share Current Situation
- Participants share "the way to collect data", "kinds of data", "data management" in each country.
2nd year (2020) : Find Needed Data
- Through data analysis, participants specify the data which will be needed to analyze traffic crashes.
Final year (2021) : Find Countermeasures
- As a goal of the final year, participants are to find countermeasures.
- As a goal of a series of these sessions, ATRANS and IATSS would like participants to present the discussion outcome to the decision maker and improve their motivation for the reduction of traffic crashes.

Agenda
IATSS and ATRANS are grateful for all participants' cooperation.
This "2 days session on data collection" was the first collaborative initiative
for us. Experts from each organization shared and discussed the current
situation. Through the discussion, we achieved the primary objective, sharing
current situation. In addition, we could find important viewpoints as follows.
1) Establishing common systems in Asia for management and analysis on
crash data, like IRTAD
2) Observing actual crash site, not merely relying on crash data
3) Considering how to improve expertise in data collection for parties including police
4) Integrating and analyzing the crash data collected by each organization
We would like to continue this session with all participants.
Thank you very much.
