The Traffic Accidents module provides a complete workflow for documenting traffic incidents, managing victim information, tracking injuries, and generating statistical reports.

​
Overview

This module enables law enforcement to:
  • Record detailed traffic accident information
  • Track victims and their conditions
  • Document vehicle involvement
  • Monitor injury severity levels
  • Generate jurisdictional reports
  • Query accident statistics

​
Accident Registration Workflow

​
Basic Incident Information

When reporting a traffic accident, the following core details are captured:
  • Date: Date of the accident occurrence
  • Time: Exact time of the incident
  • Preventive Number: Case identification number
  • Year: Year of the preventive report
  • Place (Lugar): Exact location of the accident
  • Jurisdiction: Regional unit responsible (UR-1 through UR-15)
  • Dependency: Specific police station or unit
  • Road Type (Via): Street, Avenue, National Route (R.N.), or Provincial Route (R.P.)
  • Incident Type:
    • Collision with Homicide
    • Single Vehicle Crash (Despiste)
    • Occupant Fall
    • Ravine Accident (Desbarrancamiento)

​
Victim Information

For each victim involved in the accident: 
// Fields captured:
- Apellido y Nombre (Last Name and First Name)
- Edad (Age)
- Sexo (Gender): F/M
- Condicion (Condition at time of accident)
Victim Conditions:

Vehicle Occupants

  • COND.VEHICULO (Vehicle Driver)
  • ACOMP.VEHICULO (Vehicle Passenger)
  • PASAJERO/A (Passenger)
  • PASAJERO TRACTOR (Tractor Passenger)
  • PASAJ.OMNIBUS (Bus Passenger)

Motorcycle & Others

  • MOTOCIC.COND. (Motorcycle Driver)
  • MOTOCIC.ACOMP. (Motorcycle Passenger)
  • CICLISTA (Cyclist)
  • PEATON (Pedestrian)

​
Death Classification

The system tracks when fatalities occur:
1

Immediate Death

Death occurred at the scene (EN EL ACTO)
2

Subsequent Death

Death occurred after the accident (POSTERIOR)

​
Injury Tracking System

​
Lesionados (Injured Persons Module)

For accidents with injuries, a separate detailed tracking form captures:
Vehicle Information:
  • Date and time of incident
  • Regional unit and dependency
  • Incident type:
    • COLISION SIMPLE (Simple Collision)
    • COLISION CON LESIONADOS (Collision with Injuries)
  • License plate (Dominio)
  • Vehicle make and model
  • Location
  • Road type

​
Injury Severity Levels

The system classifies injuries into five categories:

LEVES

Minor injuries

GRAVES

Serious injuries

GRAVISIMOS

Critical/life-threatening injuries

SIN LESIONES

No injuries

FALLECIDOS

Fatalities

​
Data Management

​
Record Operations

// Modify existing accident record
UPDATE hechos SET 
  via='$via', 
  sexo='$sexo',
  muerte='$estado',
  juridiccion='$juridiccion',
  condicion='$condicion',
  apellido='$apellido',
  lugar='$lugar',
  edad=$edad,
  fecha='$fecha' 
WHERE cod = '$cod'

​
Statistical Queries

The system supports various queries for generating reports:
Query accidents by Regional Unit (UR-1 through UR-15) to analyze incident patterns in specific jurisdictions.
Filter accidents by date ranges to identify trends and peak incident periods.
Generate reports on injury severity distribution and fatality rates.
Compare accident frequencies across different road types (streets, avenues, highways).

​
Best Practices

Data Accuracy: Ensure all dates, times, and locations are accurate as this information is critical for statistical analysis and legal proceedings.
Duplicate Prevention: The system validates entries to prevent duplicate accident records. Always search for existing reports before creating new entries.
Victim Documentation: For accidents with multiple victims, create separate injury records for each person to maintain detailed tracking.

​
Form Validation

The accident reporting form includes validation for:
  • Date format (DD/MM/YYYY)
  • Required fields: date, location, victim information
  • Jurisdiction selection
  • Road type specification
  • Victim condition classification
