onnettomuustietojen

Onnettomuustietojen is a Finnish term that refers to information or data about accidents. The genitive form onnettomuustietojen is used in phrases such as onnettomuustietojen kerääminen and onnettomuustietojen julkaiseminen, and it appears in official texts and statistical contexts to denote accident data collectively.

In Finland, onnettomuustiedot are typically gathered from multiple sources, including police reports, emergency medical services, hospitals, and other relevant authorities. The resulting datasets are used for statistical analysis, safety monitoring, and research. A typical set of variables may include the date and time of the incident, the location, the type of accident, the severity of outcomes (injuries or fatalities), persons and vehicles involved, and contextual factors such as weather, lighting, road conditions, and potential contributing factors.

The primary uses of onnettomuustietojen are to monitor trends in accidents, identify high-risk environments or populations, and evaluate the effectiveness of safety interventions and policies. They support policy decisions, road safety programs, and scholarly research aimed at reducing incidents and improving emergency response.

Privacy and data protection are central to handling onnettomuustietojen. Personal data is typically anonymized or aggregated to protect individuals’ identities, and access to non-public data is usually restricted to approved researchers or authorities. Public statistics provide aggregated figures and trend analyses to inform the public and stakeholders while safeguarding privacy.
