 ROAD ACCIDENT FORMS A-i AND 4
1. INTRODUCTION
Accurate and comprehensive accident records
are the foundation of the accident analysis. The
effective use of accident records, however, depends
upon three factors, viz, accuracy of data, main-
tenance of records and analysis of data. Need for
a high standard of accident reporting is the princi-
pal pre-requisite for the use of accident records in
working out road safety measures. If the original
accident report themselves are poor, the analysis
and the results from their use will also be poor.
Jnaccurate and incomplete accident data make the
results vague, misleading and not fruitful.
In India, the details of day to day road accidents
are generally being collected by the Traffic Police
in various States in Road Accident Form A-i. This
form was suggested at the fourth meeting of the
Transport Advisory Council held in Delhi in July,
1939. Besides this Form A-I, the Traffic Police
also prepare the summary of road accidents in a
State during the year in the Road Accident Form
4. From these statistics, summaries are prepared
by various authorities.
There ‘.~cre many deficiencies in the existing
Form A-l with the result that the details supplied
by the Traffic Police were insufficient for making
scientific investigation of road accidents. Although
this form included the details of road accidents.
like severity, location, day, month, time, vehicles
involved, age and sex of the driver primarily involv-
ed in accident and also of persons killed and injur-
ed, light condition, road condition, etc., there was
no provision for a number of other useful informa-
tion, e.g.. (I) exact location with geometry of the
road, (ii) type of traffic control at the site, (iii) type
of collision, (iv) details of second driver, if any,
(v) education of driver, (vi) road user’s behaviour.
Moreover, the previous method of analysing the
data maima Ily, was time consuming and, at the same
time, inaccurate.
Keeping these requirements in view, the Traffic
Engineering Committee in their meeting held on the
3rd October, 1967 set up a Panel consisting of the
following to go into this question and suggest suit-
able forms workable on an all-India basis
<<
1. Dr. V.G. Bbatia Convenor
2. K.C. Saxena .., Member-Secretary
3. T.R. Sehgal
4. Dr. N.S. Srinivasan
5. R.P. Sikka
6. PG. Mukherjee, Dy. Commissioner of Police
(Traffic), Calcutta
7. Deputy Commissioner of Police, Bombay
S. Deputy Commissioner of Police, Madras
9. Superintendent of Police (Traffic), New Delhi
10, Miss D.V. Hingorani -
This Panel formulated revised Form A-I. Later
the Traffic Engineering Committee in their meeting
held on the 14th & 15th May, 1971 and 2nd &
3rd November, 1972 respectively approved revised
Form A-land formulated revised Form4andrecom-
mended them for uniform adoption in the country
by the police and other traffic authorities collecting
and maintaining road accident statistics. These
were then approved by the Specifications and Stand-
dards Committee in their meetings held on the 29th
and 30th Septe~hiber,1972. Later,thesewereapprov-
ed by the Executive Committee in their meeting
held on the 25th April, 1973 and the Council in
their 81st meeting held on the 26th April, 1973.
This document was published by the I.R.C.
during 1973 and was sent to all concerned for
adoption.
The Chief Engineers, Transport Commissioners
and Inspector General of Police of all States and also
the various concerned Central Government Depart-
ments were addressed in August 1978 to send their
comments in regard to the use of these forms with a
view to consider whether any changes are necessary
in these forms in the light of their experiences. The
comments received from various authorities were
placed before the Traffic Engineering Committee of
the Indian Roads Congress which in turn set up a
Sub-committee (names mentioned below) to review
these comments and revise the Road Accident
Forms A-I and 4 wherever considered necessary:
Dr. N~S.Srinivasan
Dr. (Mrs.) I.K. Barthakur
P.S. Bawa
R.P. Sikka
D.P. Gupta
HA. Bindra
 IRC : 53-1982

The Subcommittee took the opinion of Dy.
C in in is’s one s of Police (Traffic) of Calcutta.
lnbav Hyderahad. Madras, Punjab, Madhya
Pradesh. Biliar & Kerala, in the revision of these
l’arms. ~ihe revised Forms as finalised by the Sub—
vommitlec were approved by the Traffic Engineering
Co in in ittee (personnel given below) in their meeting
held at Paitia on the ~Oth December, 1980. These were
then app~oved by the SpecifIcations and Standards
C mmiitec in their meeting held at New Delhi on
the 28th May, 1981. Later these were approved
hv the F.~ccutivcCommittee through circulation and
the Council in their meeting held at Amritsar on
the 28th December. 1981. The revised coded
lroforma for reporting road accident A—I will be
sutla hlc for mechanical analysis and will help in
achieving better results quickly. Hence the punch
card s~stem has been recommended for analysing
the road accident data. Form 4 is intended to
p~csent a sum mary of road accidents in a State
durinst the year based on the data collected in the
Accident Reporting Form A-I.
