Since 1975 the country wide and uniform registration of traffic accidents have been processed by the department of Dutch State Registration of Road Traffic Accidents. An evaluation showed the apparent need for a second-generation of the registration system. The Research Centre for Physical Planning TNO carried out a test for a new system based on a segmented geographic base file they had constructed for the city of Eindhoven. They developed a spatial oriented information system that, as a computerized tool provides primary types of information to local and regional and national authorities site-location and manoeuvre listings, site-selection procedures, statistical analysis with other data sources, and napping facilities.
