Popis: In this paper, the current procedures for recording accidents in Flanders are analyzed. This procedure is compared with the accident registration methods abroad. Then the problems like under-registration, errors and inaccuracies with the current registration method in Flanders are discussed. Finally we formulate some best practices and some ideas for Belgium, based on the accident registration procedures abroad. There are several methods to improve the accident registration process: relevant interoperable databases such as police databases, information of the courts, medical databases, ...; Geographical Information Systems (GIS), in-depth studies; grossing-up factors; Personal Digital Assistants (PDA) and Global Positioning Systems (GPS).
