Abstract: The Unified Philippine Accident Reporting and Database System (uPARDS) main purpose is to provide an
advanced road accident investigation tool, record keeping and analysis system for stakeholders such as PNP, MMDA, DPWH,
DOH, and insurance companies. The system is composed of 2 components, the mobile application for road accident
investigators and the web application that integrates all accident data for the use of all stakeholders. The researchers with the
cooperation of PNP’s Vehicle Traffic Investigation Sector of the City of Manila, conducted the field-testing of the application
in fifteen (15) accident cases. The results of the survey revealed that the respondents were greatly satisfied with the
visualization and functions of the uPARDS applications as it proved to be effective and far more efficient compared with the
conventional method.

4 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
4.1 uPARDS
The Unified Philippine Accident Reporting and
Database System (uPARDS) is a mobile and web-
based application developed by Dr. Francis Aldrine
Uy of the Mapua Institute of Technology. It aims to
serve as an integrated system for government
agencies and private companies in the Philippines
concerned with road accidents. The uPARDS
application envisions creating a mobile application
tools and a single database system for all the
stakeholders that will pave way for faster road
accident site investigation, a quicker and more
efficient emergency response and a better transaction
of claims and creation of relevant documents. The
uPARDS system is composed of 2 components, the
mobile application for road accident investigators
