Accidents.

The Government of Tamil Nadu has recently introduced a new system viz. Road Accident Data Base Management System.

This system comprises of three principal architects namely Police, Highways, Transport.

It works like this.

When an accident takes place, immediately the Transport Office in whose jurisdiction the accident takes place receives an intimation through email.

The Officer in charge of the office should open the relevant email which will lead him to a data base in which there is a form called Accident Report Form.

The form contains several columns concerning the vehicle. The form has to be filled within the stipulated time i.e. within a day in case of fatal and within 3 days in case of other accidents.

A common data base is created in the police headquarters which will have the details of all the accidents taken place in this State.

If the form is not filled in, the system will generate an email to the Road Safety Commissioner that such a report is pending from particular office.

So when an accident takes place the details should be kept handy to fill up the form.
