Abstract:

The obj ective of this study was to fully develop and apply a me thodology to ; study accident causation, uhich was outlined in a previous study . " Causal" factors ; are those pre-crash factors, which are statistically related to the accident rate ; for specific types of accidents, in specific pre-crash situations. To calculate ; accident rates, exposure measures matched to the pre-crash situations are needed. ; Data collection techniques to collect certain basic data by roadside observations ; were developed. A data collection design was developed, indicating when and ; where to collect data in Ulster and Schenectady Counties, New York. Data were collected, ; and exposure estimates for several pre-crash situations derived. Using ; police accident reports, accident rates were calculated for these pre-crash situations. The relations of these rates to va rious pre-crash factors and their interactions ; were studied. ; The general methodology is described in a separate "Manual for Accident ; Causation Research."
