PROCEEDINGS INTERNATIONAL ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION WORKSHOP. PILOT STUDY ON ROAD SAFETY

A detailed description is presented of the international program agreed upon, as well as the papers presented at the workshop which was convened to discuss investigative methodology related to vehicle deformation, impact speed deformations, injury severity scaling and project results. The Collision Analysis Report Form presented here is a shorter version of an earlier form which contained a set of unique, specialized vehicle deformation and injury severity scaling indices derived from the combined recommendations form several different countries. The articles included in this publication are: Investigation Methodology, Use of a Short Report Form, and Conclusions (Italy); Vehicle Deformation Index, Its present Scope Studies Needed for Applications to Research in Highway Safety (France); Draft Status Report of the German Teams (Federal Republic of Germany); A Methodology for Coding Accident Configuration (Sweden); Accident Studies Benefits and Possibilities (Netherlands); Use of the Collision Analysis Report Form and Applications for Injury Data (U.K.); Pre-Crash Tri-Level Methodology for Collision Data Generation (U.S.); Evaluation of Protocol and Project Data (Panel, U.S.); Methodology for Speed Estimation (Panel, U.K.); The Apologetics of an Approach to An International Accident Investigation System (Panel, Netherlands/U.S.).
