Summary	The aim of this study is to gather both domestic and foreign methods of applying traffic accident injury data to develop prevention countermeasures. This will aid the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MOTC) in collecting information on road safety prevention strategies and methods based on traffic accident injury severity data. The United Kingdom and the United States publish road traffic crash data annually. Before the data is released, the traffic crash data is linked to medical record data to determine the injury severities of those involved in the traffic crashes. The UK uses MAIS3+ to define serious injuries, while the US uses the injury classification scale and definitions, KABCO to define crash severities. The transportation Acts in the United States require each state to develop and implement Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) every five years. Based on the analysis results of CISS and CRSS sampling database, each state can select traffic safety improvement themes and use improvement strategies for each theme accordingly. The U.S. FHWA evaluates the safety improvement performance of each state based on five-year rolling averages of performance measures.       Since the Fundamental Law on Road Traffic Safety was enacted, it has been recommended that counties and cities use integrated traffic crash data (including road traffic crash data from the National Police Agency of the Ministry of the Interior, traffic violation and supervision data from the Highway Bureau, MOTC, health insurance data from the Ministry of Health and Welfare, ...) to analyze the characteristics of traffic crashes. Counties and cities can apply countermeasures to improve road safety and evaluate improvement performance through safety indicators.
