CAREC Road Crash Investigation Manual

This manual sets out ways to improve procedures for collecting, investigating, and analyzing road crash data in the 11 Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) Program countries to support informed decision-making and boost road safety.

Analyzing the impact of fatal and serious road crashes which cost countries up to 5% of gross domestic product and dent development, the manual makes recommendations based on globally recognized best practices. Stressing the need for clear accident reporting and the maintenance of road safety databases, it shows how reliable data can support road safety education and advertising campaigns, strengthen traffic enforcement, and reduce crash casualties.
