Abstract
Reliable and accurate data are needed to correctly identify problems, risk factors and priority areas so as to formulate strategy and set targets. Addis Ababa Traffic Police Commission is responsible for collecting and reporting of every accidents occurring on the roads of the city. Whenever an accident occurs on the roads of the city, a police officer from the Commission collects the details of the accident using a paper based form at the accident place. This manual paper based approach of collecting accident details makes it difficult to perform the activities of generating different reports and other analysis activities on the accident data collected using the paper based form. The use of mobile data collection system for collecting and reporting road traffic accidents occurring on the roads of the city and sending the completed record data via the mobile network to a scalable web application, simplifies the activities of generating different reports related to the submitted record data. In addition, the client application i.e. the mobile side application, runs on an android mobile phone and integrates the ability to include location data in the collected data detail so that users can visualize the exact location where the respective accident has occurred using the Google Earth. The system is developed using the open source Open Data Kit (ODK) for implementing the underlying framework of the system.
