A 3/4 summary of the DRAG-2 road accident model within the context of the international DRAG research network

We report on a family of models that explain the Demand for Road use, Accidents and their Gravity (DRAG), sharing a structure, use of flexible form regression analysis, calibration with monthly time series data defined over a country or region, and the establishment of a reference set of results. We say a few words about the initial model for Quebec, called DRAG-1, and the emerging network of national models, and supply translations of three articles describing in part the DRAG-2 model for which full documentation is only available in French.
