Data Dictionary
| Field Name | Name | Type | Description | Fixed Values |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ACCIDENT NO | Accident No | CHAR(12) | ACCIDENT NO is the Primary Key for the database to uniquely identify the accident and cannot contain NULL values. First character T indicates TIS incident and characters 2-5 typically represent the year in which the accident created in TIS system and characters 6-11 are a numeric sequencing number | |
| ACCIDENT DATE | Accident Date | DATE(10) | TBC | |
| ACCIDENT TIME | Accident Time | TIME(16) | hh.mm.ss. Original date stored in 24 hour format (ie 1pm = 1300 hours) Note the common practice used by the Police, when originally coding up the accident details, of 'rounding off the time' to the nearest 5 minutes or even nearest hour. This naturally occurs because in the vast majority of accidents police arrive at the scene well after the accident occurred and so the 'REAL' time of the accident is never precisely known. | |
