Person injured – a person who is administered first aid due to an injury in a traffic accident, and to whom outpatient or inpatient treatment has been prescribed. Differently from several European countries minor and serious injuries are not distinguished. Person killed – a person who died at the scene of the traffic accident or within 30 days following the traffic accident because of injuries received in the traffic accident. If a person died of these injuries more than 30 days after the accident, the person is considered as injured. Persons who committed suicide are considered as persons killed. Traffic accident – an event in which an individual is injured or killed as a result of at least one vehicle moving on or off the road. By road is meant a roadway, street, car park, calm traffic area or other structure used for traffic with sidewalks, cycle and pedestrian tracks, paved shoulders, green, dividing or other strips. Events where a pedestrian is injured by collision with a train, events on a road on which public access was closed for competition between participating vehicles, and events between vehicles and individuals working in road construction, repair and maintenance are excluded. Traffic accident with the participation of a drunk driver – a traffic accident in which at the time of the accident at least one of the participating drivers was under the influence of alcohol or drugs, irrespective of whether he/she caused the accident or not. According to the Traffic Act, the driver of a vehicle is considered to be intoxicated by alcohol if: - the alcohol content in one gram of the driver’s blood is no less than 1.50 milligrams or the alcohol content in the breath exhaled by the driver is 0.75 milligrams in one litre of breath; - the alcohol content in one gram of the driver’s blood is no less than 0.50 milligrams or the alcohol content in the breath exhaled by the driver is 0.25 milligrams in one litre of breath and there are externally perceptible disturbed or changed bodily or mental functions and reactions due to which the driver is evidently not able to drive a vehicle with due firmness required in traffic. Pursuant to the Traffic Act amendment in force as of 1 July 2011 also a moped is considered a power-driven vehicle, wherefore also drunk moped drivers are taken into account, incl. in retrospect. | |

To assure the quality of processes and products, Statistics Estonia applies the EFQM Excellence Model, the European Statistics Code of Practice and the Quality Assurance Framework of the European Statistical System (ESS QAF).

Statistics Estonia performs all statistical activities according to an international model (Generic Statistical Business Process Model – GSBPM). According to the GSBPM, the final phase of statistical activities is overall evaluation using information gathered in each phase or sub-process; this information can take many forms, including feedback from users, process metadata, system metrics and suggestions from employees. This information is used to prepare the evaluation report which outlines all the quality problems related to the specific statistical activity and serves as input for improvement actions. |
