The survey was financed by the Australian Road Research Board, directed by Professor J.S. Robertson of the Department of Pathology of the University of Adelaide, and conducted by G.A. Ryan; M.a., B.S., and myself. 408 accidents were attended in the Adelaide metropolitan area in the years 1963 and 1964. These formed a representative 12.3% , sample of all traffic accidents to which an ambulance was called. The causation and consequences of each accident were investigated in detail. A comprehensive photographic record was made by the author, and sketch plans were drawn. A check-list form and punch card code were developed for the recording of the engineering data. A system developed for rating vehicle damage is described. | | Publisher | University of Adelaide | | Publisher City | Adelaide | | Page Count | 311 | | Notes | Available from CASR library on request |
