The RTI patients were transferred to the Fifth Center Hospital of Tianjin, by ambulance or by themselves. This descriptive study was performed based on the hospital records of RTI patients who suffered from motor vehicle accidents between the beginning of 2007 and the end of 2010. This area provides a good sample for research comparing RTIs between local residents and floating population in this district. As an important harbor in north China, masses of freight were transported from neighboring regions to this district, which lead RTIs here having particular characteristics. Other RTI patients were scattered among the hospitals near the accident spots. More than one-third of the RTI patients in this district were treated in this hospital. It is largest tertiary hospital in this district. This hospital is located in the Binhai New District of Tianjin city. In this study, we collected the hospital records of RTI patients from the emergency department of the Fifth Center Hospital of Tianjin, and analyzed the RTIs characteristics of floating population in comparison with those of local residents. So it will make sense to have an investigation on the RTIs characteristics of the floating population that was unclear before. A sampling survey of injury deaths in Chinese people also found that, from 1991 to 2005, the proportion of all injury deaths due to traffic accident increased from 15.00% to 33.79% clearly showing a rising trend. In China, there were 3.9 million traffic accidents reported in 2010, in which 65 thousand people died and 2.5 million peoples were injured with a direct property loss of around 143 million dollars. Due to the high mobility characteristics of these people, the fast expansion of floating population could be a factor contributing to the high frequency of road traffic accidents. But the floating population of China had a fast increase from 7 million in 1982 to 22 million in 1990 to 79 million in 2000 and 230 million in 2011. However RTIs could happen on any people independent of the household registration, so research regarding the differences in RTIs, between local resident patients and floating migrant patients, has been scarce. Second, most studies about the floating population health were focused on the infected diseases, because the migration of people is closely related to the spread of infected diseases, and the impact of infected diseases is obviously seen. First, such a massive migration of people from undeveloped regions to developed regions was scarcely seen in the other countries of the world except China. However, the characteristics of road traffic injuries (RTIs) among floating population have never been reported. Some epidemiological investigation has been done on the health problems of floating population in China, such as some infected diseases, , unintentional injuries under six years old children and so on. Recently, the National People's Congress of China has highlighted the plight of the ‘floating population’ and outlined policies for education and basic health services. They face daunting problems, particularly with access to healthcare, adequate housing, employment opportunities, pension plans and school enrollment for their children. Without local household registration, the floating migrants are not entitled to some of the benefits that local people enjoy. This rural-urban migration poses significant challenges, especially for China's welfare system concerning both local and migrant residents. As a result of the gap between rural and urban incomes, the ‘floating’ migrant population came from the countryside to the cities in pursuit of a better life. According to the report of China National Bureau of Statistics, China had 230 million people in its floating population in 2011, representing 19% of the total population.

The ‘floating population’ (or liudong renkou in Chinese) refers to the large and increasing number of migrants without local household registration status (namely hukou). Over nearly the last three decades, a new demographic phenomenon in China has attracted increasing attention.
