IRTAD - International Traffic Safety Data and Analysis Group
The International Road Traffic and Accident Database was created in 1988. The IRTAD database collects and aggregates international data on road crashes; it thereby provides an empirical basis for international comparisons and more effective road safety policies.
However, over the years, IRTAD has come to stand not only for the database but also for the International Traffic Safety Data and Analysis Group (or IRTAD group, for short). The IRTAD group brings together road safety experts from national road administrations, road safety research institutes, International Organisations, automobile associations, insurance companies, car manufacturers and others. It is currently chaired by Professor Dominique Mignot, France.
