TBAA Accident Analysis Database

This resource contains annual statistics regarding bodily injury accidents in road traffic, derived from official analysis reports. The data is essential for monitoring and analysing road safety performance and risk factors. It allows users to study the circumstances of incidents, the vehicles involved, and the subsequent condition of the users. Key indicators of user injury severity include classifications such as Killed, Injured hospitalized, and Slightly injured.

The information is delivered in four distinct files, each corresponding to a section of the accident analysis report:

The data within these four sections is interconnected using the accident identifier number ("Num_Acc"). When multiple occupants are involved, the "vehicle_id" variable links individuals to their respective vehicles.

The database is structured into four related files, each distributed in CSV format. Specific numbers regarding the record count are not provided. Users should note that many variables may contain empty cells, zeros, or a period, which signifies that the information was either not applicable or not recorded by the investigating law enforcement body.

This data is ideally suited for statistical analysis in the domain of road safety application. It can be used to validate, track, and monitor national road safety indicators. Researchers can exploit this information to understand the definitions relating to accident variables and perform rigorous statistical assessments of traffic incident trends and outcomes.

The temporal scope covers the full year of 2019. Geographically, the data includes Mainland France, Overseas departments (including Guadeloupe, Guyana, Martinique, Reunion Island, and Mayotte), and several other overseas territories (such as French Polynesia and New Caledonia, available in open data since 2019). It is important to note that specific data relating to individual users or detailed vehicle behaviour is often concealed to protect privacy. Additionally, the 'hospitalised injured' indicator changed classification processes in 2019 and should not be used for direct comparison with data from previous years.

Intended users include governmental bodies responsible for monitoring official statistics, researchers focused on transport safety and epidemiology, and policy analysts needing detailed knowledge of accident codification for road safety improvements.
