Consultation of a panel of experts on the needs for data and technical tools in road safety policy-making. Deliverable 1.1/4.1 of the EC FP7 project DaCoT
Stakeholder's contribution. Deliverable 1.3 of the EC FP7 Project DaCoTA
The aim of DaCoTA’s Work Package 1 is to shed light on road safety policy-making
and management processes in Europe and to explore how these can be better supported
by data and knowledge. This was done by assessing demands and views of
stakeholders as well as by building a good practice model for road safety management
investigation. Future versions of the European Road Safety Observatory
(ERSO, www.erso.eu) are envisaged to be built on the findings of this project.
This report describes the methodology and presents the first aggregated results of an
on-line stakeholder consultation carried out in Task 1.3. The survey was successfully
carried out among more than 3000 road safety stakeholders in Europe and beyond

Development of the European Road Safety Knowledge System
This paper is an updated version of the paper presented at the TRA2014 Transport Research Arena 2014: Transport Solutions: from Research to Deployment - Innovate Mobility, Mobilise Innovation! 14th-17th April 2014, Paris. This book chapter is in closed access.This chapter presents the European Road Safety Knowledge System, which was developed within the Data Collection Transfer and Analysis (DaCoTA) research project of the 7th Framework Program of the European Commission. This knowledge system includes a number of components, concerning data and tools, road safety issues and countries. A three-step methodology was adopted for the development of this European Road Safety Knowledge System. Initially, a wealth of data and information was gathered and stored in an organized way, on road fatalities, exposure, safety performance indicators, socioeconomic indicators, health and causation indicators, road user attitudes and behaviors, traffic laws and regulations, road safety management structure and processes for 30 European countries. Data and information gathered was exploited within DaCoTA for the estimation of road traffic fatalities based on time-series analysis, as it is important to know in what direction the annual casualties are developing, and how fast this developmen
