Dear Sanjay,
The EU project SAFETYNET has investigated problems with traffic injury data.
You may find more information, and references - generally under-reporting is
the problem - in the following link
http://www.erso.eu/data/Content/introduction.htm. However, I am not sure
they looked at pedestrian injuries. The homepage for erso (european road
safety observatory) is www.erso.eu and you may find more on accident
statistics at
http://www.erso.eu/knowledge/content/40_pedestrians/pedestrians.htm (the on
the left hand side click PDF) but I think this section mainly deals with
risk, rather than errors in road traffic injury data. I would suggest you
explore the site (using either the knowledge or the data links on the top of
the page). Hope this might help.
Best regards,
ioanna

Subject: [UTSG] Errors in road traffic injury data
Hi Everyone,
Does anyone happen to know any published literature on the analysis and
impact of errors in road traffic injury data, particularly pedestrian
injuries?
My limited search has only yielded work on under-reporting related errors.
Thanks,
Sanjay.
