There are debates about whether the word "Accident" or "Crash" should be used. AAMVA used to use Accident, but we are now directed to use Crash.
AAMVA submitted definitions to NIEM for
j:ChargeAccidentRelatedIndicator
j:DriverHistoryAccidentQuantity
j:DrivingAccidentSeverityAbstract
j:DrivingAccidentSeverityCode
j:DrivingAccidentSeverityText
j:PersonDrivingIncident
nc:InjurySeverityAbstract
NIEM also has:
st:LocationRoadway
NIEM should be updated so someone searching using either "Accident" or "Crash" can find the elements. I don't have a preference on how this is achieved, perhaps simply adding the word Crash in the descriptions would be sufficient.
