Description and Map Functionality

The Portal provides the interactive map of road accidents together with accident and statistical data. The Map is equipped with filter devices for setting more accurate and detailed data on road accidents across Poland since 2010, as well as basic indicators needed for road safety analysis. You could display detailed information for individual accidents. When you click the accident symbol, opens field with data. Information on the map can be download as numerical data in tables (in various formats for further analysis).

The road accident interactive map shows position of accident on the road map. By using adequate zoom devices, you can see localization on road where the accident occurred. Each accident on the map has its own detailed information about time and localization of the accident (alongside with geographical coordinates), its type, participants, and type of casualties. When setting selected type of accidents (according to your own inquiry), they will be displayed on the map.

When making a query use filter to specify the criteria of accident by selecting from:

  • localization of the accident: voivodship, country, municipality, city,
  • time of accident (year, month, day, hour, or period of time),
  • type of accident (collision of vehicles, hitting a pedestrian, hitting other objects on the road along with a detailed selection of those objects, others),
  • light conditions (day, night) at the time of accident.
  • localisation of the accident, includes:

    b)  characterization of the place on the road, where the accident occurred,
    c)  information if the place of the accident was at the junction or not at the junction,
    d)  information if the place of the accident was equipped with traffic lights,
    e)  information about the road’ s category and number (only for national roads and voivodships roads).
  • information about participants of accident, includes:

    c)  age (according to the age group or selected freely),
    d)  gender,
    e)  type of vehicle (passenger car, goods vehicle, motorcycle, moped, bike/cycle). 


After selecting required group of accidents (according to your inquiry), they are presented on the map. Information displayed on the map can be download as numerical data in tables (in various formats for further analysis).

Database on road accidents – contains table and numerical data which are complementary with the Interactive Map of road accidents. According to your inquiry you can have data for the whole area of Poland, for each individual voivodship, county, municipality, or city. POBR’ database gives you the opportunity to select appropriate group of accidents for your own specific analyses to be displayed on the map. The Map is equipped with filter setting device to obtain more accurate and detailed data on road accidents across Poland since 2010, as well as basic indicators needed for road safety analysis.

Table and numerical data on the interactive road accidents map contains:

  1. Area information with: 
    a)  area/size of selected administrative units, 
    b)  road lengths of individual categories for selected administrative units (full data available for voivodships, for counties: counties and municipalities roads only, no data for municipalities and cities roads),
    c)  total number of inhabitants/population and in selected 10 age group, 
    d)  the number of registered vehicles in total and by 5 main vehicle categories: passenger cars, goods vehicles, busses, motorcycle, mopeds (data available for voivodships and countries and provincial cities, no data for cities and municipalities);
    Note:total number of registered vehicles for the “Number of registered vehicles” category is not the sum of the number of vehicles in the category: „Passenger cars’, „Goods vehicles”, „Busses”, „Motorcycles”, „Mopeds”. “The number of registered vehicles” includes: (as defined by the Central Statistical Office of Poland) registered motorcycles, passenger cars, trollies, busses, emergency vehicles, goods vehicles (goods vehicles under 3.5t mgw and goods vehicle over 3.5t mgw; with trailer and without trailer) and agricultural vehicles; excluding slow moving vehicles included tourist cable cars and vehicles referred to as the type of vehicle: “other vehicle” (quad and light quad), as well as without mopeds, motor-less vehicles i.e. trailers and semi-trailers;
    e) basic rates, indicators for the selected area (number of fatality rate per 100 000 inhabitants/population, fatality rate per 100 accidents/number of fatalities per 100 accidents), car ownership rate/number of passengers cars per 1 000 inhabitants).
  2. Accidents and casualties present number of accidents, number of fatalities (dead on the spot of accident and dead with 30 days) and number of injuries (type of severity: seriously and slightly injured). You can select any type of fatality or injury for your own analysis.
  3. Area comparison with data comparison on the number of accidents, fatalities, and injuries for each/ selected administrative unit of Poland by setting a filter “Area of analysis”.
  4. Rating comparison for each/ selected administrative unit of Poland due to:
    • the number of fatality rate per 100 000 inhabitants/population,
    • fatality rate per 100 accidents/number of fatalities per 100 accidents,
    • car ownership rate/number of passengers cars per 1 000 inhabitants.


Data can be downloaded in one of the available formats: json, xml, csv, txt, MS-Excel, pdf which can be used in other programs for example in spreadsheets.
