Because of the consequent deaths and taking into consideration their various consequences on social and economic life, traffic accidents and their impacts have become one of the most essential and deadly concerns confronting the community and individuals today. Indeed, several recent attempts to reduce the incidence and severity of traffic accidents have yielded positive results by studying the recorded data of past accidents. This research aims to propose a unified Vehicle Accident Identification Number (VAIN) for each accident in Kuwait based on the accident time, date, vehicle number & other aspects so that the same Vehicle Accident Identification Number can be referred by concerned authorities in the State of Kuwait. In the future this number can be the basis of a database from which the authorities can retrieve the valuable accurate information on a click. Keywords Transportation, Traffic accidents, Accident identification number, Database 1. Introduction The United Nations (UN) incorporated road safety into its pre-existing sustainable development principles in 2003, owing to the potentially catastrophic outcomes (such as death or injury) that occur because of automobile accidents. Since then, it has been predicted that road fatalities will rise from ninth to third leading cause of death for humans in the next decade (World Health Organization), and that road safety as a general topic has been raised by the UN General Assembly plenary sessions (2004; 2008), during which they also referenced the need to develop a new critical and unconventional necessity to take more serious actions in terms of road safety. Indeed, the current lack of road safety has accounted for 80% of road fatalities within developing countries, even though they only comprise 20% of the total motorised vehicles. This is particularly prominent in Kuwait, as the more fatalities that occur, the more GDP decreases (the Gulf States’ GDP indeed having dropped by an estimated 2.5%-4.5% because of such fatalities). Such losses can be quantified as listed below:  3%-4% of Kuwait’s yearly GOP has been lost because of fatal road injuries.  The nation’s medical services, resources, and investment plans are drastically affected by the financial pressures generated by road accidents. * Corresponding author: ajasem@jmail.com (Jasem Alrajhi) Received: Aug. 10, 2021; Accepted: Aug. 30, 2021; Published: Sep. 15, 2021 Published online at http://journal.sapub.org/ijtte  428 road-related deaths, 10305 severe injuries, and a whopping 71161 accidents were documented in 2017. (https://www.moi.gov.kw/gdt/Statistics2.htm#). As can be seen from the above, this is a particularly pressing issue that has the potential to cast a negative ripple effect across Kuwait’s economy. Kuwait is one of the richest developing countries in the world. It has an extremely high rate of vehicle ownership, and a superbly modern highway system, yet it has a very bad record of traffic accidents. The Kuwaiti traffic police force—which, as standard, account for all traffic enforcement, data, and safety information—have reported that the way in which they have to document such accidents is insufficient in the sense that not all the necessary data (e.g., efficient classification of such accidents; any road intersection issues; the things done by the involved drivers directly before the accident; a concrete approach to establishing the specific place in which the accident took place) can be included. This is a critical issue, because it is on this that developed countries rely on to assess such findings and, as a result, set agendas aimed at making the problem rare and limited, as well as less financially burdensome. Furthermore, the Ministry of Interior’s mainframe system does not allow for the recording of the applicable information, nor does the current methods employed to effectively define, document, and categorise such accidents efficiently. Finally, the current statistics being produced for review are not sufficient for any kind of detailed evaluation, approach reconsideration, or comparison since an efficient predicting system or uniform traffic data garnering method are not in place within Kuwait. This is also exacerbated
