1. Situation before establishing the system
Three different ministries were involved in road crash data collection in
Cambodia:
–
–
–
Ministry of Public Works and Transport;
Ministry of Interior;
Ministry of Health.
Although the databases developed by these ministries was providing
relevant indications on the road safety situation of the country, a need
for improvement was observed:
–
Databases were not compatible between each other and there were
important discrepancies between them;
–
–
They under-reporting the real situation;
They were limited in their scope.

2. Component of the system (RCVIS)
“Road Crash and Victim Information System” (RCVIS)
Objective: to provide government and
development stakeholders in Cambodia
with accurate, continuous and
comprehensive information on road crash
and victims for the purposes of increased
understanding of the current road safety
situation, planning appropriate responses
and policy, and evaluating impact of
current and future initiatives

2. Component of the system (RCVIS)
Definition of road crashes: a collision involving at least one vehicle in
motion on a public or private road that results in at least one person
being injured or killed (WHO 2004).
Definition of road crash fatalities: 30 days after a crash
Data collection forms:
•Hospital form
•Traffic police form

2. Component of the system (RCVIS)
Quality control
• Form check: to check each form, before the data entering to see whether the forms
fill completely and correctly or not, if not contacts will be made to ask for additional
information, then, failures/mistakes/ misunderstanding will be recorded for a next
training assessment.
• Database syntax: to prevent the confusion/mistake by the database encoder. Ex:
victim is a motorbike rider  seatbelt is not applicable
• Crossed check between data from hospital and traffic police: to check in each
district of provinces to avoid duplicated recording between data from traffic police
and data from hospital, and to find out additional information
• Crossed check with media: big/serious accidents are usually reported in famous
newspapers, radios,…
• Analysis and reporting check: to compare the evolution or trend from month to
month, or year to year, then, unusual changes/number can be noticed, and reviewed
again in the database, or try to find out the cause of the change/number.

3. Usefulness of the system
– Increased political will by highlighting road
crash situation
– Identification and improvement of blackspots along road network
– Reference to develop plans and proposals
– Evaluation tool for RS actions
– Extension to another system (ISS)
– Primary reference for media and partners

Future structure of the system:
• Traffic police database under MoI
• Injury Surveillance System Database under MoH
• RCVIS database under NRSC

Organize the training
 Focal point of the system
 Maintain the RCVIS system
 Work with RCVIS manager to
refine the data collection form
 Organizing the training
RCVIS Manager
 Data analysis, develop and
dissemination the report
 Manage and develop RCVIS
 Recommend RS priorities in the report
 Refine RCVIS form
 Liaison with MoI and MoH
ISS Manager
 Pilot ISS form
 Ensure the data will integrated
into the health Information System
 Assist to organize the training and
provide training
 Data analysis, develop and
dissemination the report
Two data encoders

4. Future structure
Next steps:
 Database development and upgrade
 Set up government working groups
 Training MoI, MoH and NRSC on database
management
 Handover database system to 3 ministries
 Pilot phase to integrate the system into the
existing e-government system
15
5. Challenges
• Upgrading the data system
• Knowledge in data analysis
• Integration into the other government databases (NIDA,…)
• Capacity of government staff in provinces
• Increased under-reporting
16
6. Lesson Learnt
• Collaboration between 3 ministries is vital to the
successful functioning of the system
• Integrating RCVIS into the existing government
structure is best for sustainability of the system
• Accurate and timely data is critical for raising awareness
of the road crash issue, and for advocating for greater
commitment from government authorities for road safety
