31. 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.
42. 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
52. 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

System Cycle
82. Component of the system (RCVIS)
- 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.
93. Usefulness of the system
- Increased political will by highlighting road
crash situation - Identification and improvement of black-spots
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

134. Future structure
- Future structure of the system
- Traffic police database under MoI
- Injury Surveillance System Database under MoH
- RCVIS database under NRSC
144. Future structure
MoI
MOH
NRSC
Director of PMD
Director of Order Department
Director of GSNRSC Decide RS plan
- Deputy of Order Department
- Focal point of the system
- Maintain the RCVIS system
- Work with RCVIS manager to refine the data
collection form - Organizing the training
Deputy director of GSNRSC Implement the RS plan
Deputy director of PMD Organize 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
- data collection from traffic police in provinces
and follow up - Enter data into database system
- Provide report to director of order department
- Provide raw data to NRSC
- Backup data
- Assist deputy of order department in training
- ISS Encoders
- Data entry into database system
- Collect data from hospital and HC
- Checking the form
- Provide raw data to NRSC
- Backup data
- RCVIS Officer
- Checking double
- Assist manage to develop database
- Provide feedback to hospital and traffic police.
- identified the crash location on map
154. 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
165. 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
176. 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
