Samenvatting
This national report is based on a larger study being undertaken through the Civil Engineering Graduate Program at Carleton University in Ottawa, Ontario Canada. This report focuses on fatal, injury, and property damage collision data collected from Transport Canada's Traffic Accident Information Database for the years of 1984 to 2003. A 20-year collision analysis was compared with a 5-year analysis from 1999 to 2003 in order to compare long-term trends with more recent ones and to identify specific collision characteristics that require attention. Based on the results of the two analyses, a number of countermeasures were recommended for consideration to improve road safety on Canadian roads. For the covering abstract see ITRD E139491.
