Abstract

This report is an account of the figures on traffic safety risk that are given in the first part. The report discusses mainly the following available sources: (1) the annual replicated Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) National Travel Survey (OVG); and (2) the accident files of the former 'Dienst Ongevallenregistratie'. It is concluded that these sources are able to give a good overview. This holds both for the overall view for the Netherlands, and for the divisions into seriousness of injury, region and age. Divisions into road type are also given. The possibilities for using the risk figures are discussed. The different possibilities for making comparisons are treated. The construction of a 'risk measure' from a ratio between an insufficient safety measure and a mobility measure is also explained. The choices coming from that are discussed. The report indicates which numbers are shown in the first part. The main tables from that report are shown here too. Some conclusions are given about the data used, and about the possibilities for improving them. For the abstract of the first part of the study see C 2526.
