Data sources
Various international data sources are used to make international comparisons. Using national data for international studies is not very effective. One problem is that national data is often only available in the national language; a second problem is the compatibility with international definitions, variables, and classes. For more information about international data see the SWOV Fact sheet International comparability of road safety data.
