Accident causation and pre-accidental driving situations. Part 3. Summary report

摘要

This report aims to present the final results of the descriptive statistical, in-depth and risk analysisudperformed within TRACE Work Package ‘WP2-Type of situations’, in order to identify the mainudproblems and the magnitude of these problems related to accident causation and risk factors forudthe following four types of situations: the stabilized situations, the specific manoeuvres, theudintersection situations and the degraded situations.udThe different analysis (descriptive, in-depth and risk) of each of these five tasks has beenudperformed using the available European accident databases within TRACE (national, in-depthudand exposure databases).udThe objectives achieved in this WP are:ud• Identify and quantify accident causation factors associated to particular types of driving andudpre-accidental situations, at a statistical level, by analyzing various available databases inudEurope.ud• Obtain a focused understanding of accident causation issues related to these types ofudsituations at an in-depth level by analyzing data from available in-depth databases.ud• Identify the level of risk associated to these selected types of situation in causing accidents.
