The National Police Agency plans to develop a database on traffic accidents that will provide drivers comprehensive accident information over the Internet starting in January 2002, NPA officials said Thursday.
The NPA and the new Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport to be launched in January will begin work to develop the database in April, the officials said.
The system, which will analyze the causes of traffic accidents and accept data not only from government entities but also users, is aimed at enhancing driver safety awareness and assisting in traffic-related research, they said.
