    "The RSA will have more frequent access to PULSE data in order to spot trends;"

    They are only being given access to collision data, not the entire PULSE system.

    Imagine a new road is built or an existing road is changed or it's usage is changed, e.g. a factory or housing estate is built on a quiet road. Such changes won't necessarily immediately result in a serious collision, but there will likely be a pattern of less serious collisions first. Using these precursor events, the risk of more serious collisions can be predicted and, hopefully, remedial measures put in place to avoid them.

    What are they going to do with those trends? Nothing because they are not involved in road policing. There are already highly qualified people analysing the data.

    Don't they formulate the road safety strategies?

    Where do you think they get the info for this from?

    The Rules of the Road don't say notify the CSO in case of a collision. They say notify the Gardaí.

    Exactly, all data about road traffic collisions come from AGS. Report is sent to RSA after every collision reported to AGS.

    CSO get the info from AGS and RSA.

    Pretty much the same way as the CSO getting crime figures. If the RSA wants to know for example how many injury RTC's there were in the last two years on the N3 between Virginia and Cavan Town where else would they turn to than the data supplied by the Gardai ? You'll find that a lot of police services all over Europe supply that sort of depersonalised data to other government organisations.
