We propose to accomplish these aims by collecting data at the scene of accidents to which an ambulance is called. This obviously restricts the range of cases we would expect to get and some of the reasons for this are discussed in the paper. These data are to be supplemented by the result of follow-up investigation of aspects of the environment, i. e. in simple terms, going back to the scene in large part and of the vehicles and the treatment of any injuries sustained by the participants will be recorded and an attempt will be made to also determine certain psychological characteristics of users who are involved in the events leading up to each accident and where practical, corresponding data on a control group of road users will be obtained. Now all of these points are treated in greater detail on the paper and I would urge you to refer to them for those issues that are of particular interest to you. | | Publisher | Traffic Accident Unit, University of Adelaide | | Publisher City | Adelaide | | Conference Name | Road Accident Information Seminar | | Conference Location | Canberra, Australia | | Conference Date | 26-28 March 1974 | | Page Count | 7 | | Notes | available from CASR library on request |
