Establishing the European Road Accident Observatory - the SafetyNet Integrated Project

SafetyNet is an integrated project, funded by the European Commission under the Sixth Framework Programme. The project addresses the shortfall in accident data and will develop the structure of the European Road safety observatory to provide a coordinated set of accident information resources for the EU, to meet the needs for data to support public policy. The project will focus on the development of the structure of the observatory and will populate many parts with data. Macroscopic data will be gathered by EU member states under an agreement between ministers according to technical specifications developed within SafetyNet. In-depth data will be gathered by specialist teams within the project, largely employing the infrastructure developed within the Pendant Fifth Framework Project.
