DOC 914/24 – Road Vehicle Accident Statistics (RAST)

(Revision of Doc 914/20 and Doc 914/22)

To establish the consequences, nature and frequency of accidents to the industry’s road vehicles, EIGA collects systematic and detailed information on injury, loss and damage related to significant accidents. This information adds to industry knowledge and enables informed discussion with the legislators. EIGA Doc 914 Road Vehicle Accident Statistics (RAST) contains the rules and guidelines for collection and reporting of data on road vehicle accidents and is intended to be used by those who are working with the EIGA Statistic Platform RAST. This revision highlights an important change approved by the Board of Directors:  reporting on road vehicle accidents is mandatory from 2020, both for accidents from member companies and from their contracting companies.

The new RAST platform is aligned with this revision. It contains a new qualification field ‘contract type’ to be able to split data between member companies and their contracting companies. To obtain correct statistical data the kilometres driven are split between own transport and subcontracted transport.  Reports will be available in different categories: member company accidents, contractor accidents and both together.
