Abstract

In The Netherlands the number of fatalities is well known, but the number of hospitalised road traffic victims is not. A recent estimate of the degree of completeness of the police reporting for this group in The Netherlands is 60%. In order to check this global indication, a comparison has been made between the records in two well-established databanks. This report described only the methods used and the technical outcomes. (A) For related work see C 8219 (ITRD 891633).
