Abstract
A linked dataset comprising TAC Claims, Road Crash Information System (RCIS) and Victoria Police Traffic Incident System (TIS) from 2012-2017 was established to analyse the differences in reported serious injuries. The comparative analysis reveals the extent of injury level miscoding within the current TIS, and scoping differences between the two databases. Analysis continues to uncover further insight into the differences between the reported series’.
