The government has announced the development of a database to monitor national traffic accidents in a bid to tackle the alarming rise in road carnage countrywide.
This initiative is part of a broader safe system approach to road safety and will be led by several departments, including the National Police Service.
In a statement released on Wednesday, August 20, the Ministry of Interior revealed that the system would use big data and digital intelligence to modernise the recording and investigation of traffic accidents.
The Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) will support the project, which will also involve close collaboration between the Interior Ministry and the State Departments for Roads, Transport and Information.
