Recommendations for establishing Pan European Transparent and Independent Road Accident Investigations
- 2008

Ingår i: 3:rd International Conference ESAR - Expert Symposium on Accident Research, Hannover, Germany.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- A set of recommendations for pan-European transparent and independent road accident investigations has been developed bythe SafetyNet project. The aim of these recommendations is to pave the way for future EU scale accident investigationactivities by setting out the necessary steps for establishing safety oriented road accident investigations in Member States.This can be seen as the start of the process for establishing road accident investigations throughout Europe which operateaccording to a common methodology.The recommendations propose a European Safety Oriented Road Accident Investigation Programme which sets out theprocedures that need to be put in place to investigate a sample of every day road accidents. They address four sets of issues;institutional addressing the characteristics of the programme; operational describing the conditions under which data iscollected; data storage and protection; and reports, countermeasures and the dissemination of data.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- A lack of representative European accident data to aid the development of safety policy, regulation and technological advancement is a major obstacle in the European Union. Data are needed to assess the performance of road and vehicle safety and also to support the development of further actions by stakeholders. A recent analysis conducted by the European Transport Safety Council identified that there was no single system in place that could meet all of the needs and that there were major gaps including in-depth crash causation information. This paper describes the process of developing a data collection and analysis system designed to partly fill these gaps. A project team with members from seven countries was set up to devise appropriate variable lists to collect fatal crash data, using retrospective detailed police reports (n = 1300), under the following topic levels: accident, road environment, vehicle and road user. The typical level of detail recorded was a minimum of 150 variables for each accident. The project will enable multidisciplinary information on the circumstances of fatal crashes to be interpreted to provide information on a range of causal factors and events surrounding the collisions. This has major applications in the areas of active safety systems, infrastructure and road safety, as well as for tailoring behavioural interventions.

Final report of Working Group 2: Traffic psychology. A COST Action TU1101 / HOPE collaboration
- 2015
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- 1. Background The workgroup of Traffic Psychology is concerned with the social, behavioral, and perceptual aspects that are associated with use and non-use of bicycle helmets, in their various forms and under various cycling conditions. 2. Objectives The objectives of WG2 are to (1) share current knowledge among the people already working in the field, (2) suggest new ideas for research on and evaluation of the design of bicycle helmets, and (3) discuss options for funding of such research within the individual frameworks of the participants. 3. Areas for research include: 3.1. The patterns of use of helmets among different users: children, adults, and sports enthusiasts. 3.2. The use of helmets in different environments: rural roads, urban streets, and bike trails. 3.3. Concerns bicyclists have relative to their safety and convenience and the perceived impact of using helmets on comfort and convenience. 3.4. The benefit of helmets for enhancing visibility, and how variations in helmet design and colors affect daytime, nighttime, and dusktime visibility. 3.5. The role of helmets in the acceptance of city-wide pickup-and-drop-off bicycles. 3.6. The impact of helmets on visual search behaviour of bicyclists. 4. Activities The main activities of the WG2 members consisted of: 4.1. Sharing ideas at periodic meetings and in short-term scientific meetings (STSM). 4.2. Formulating a major cooperative study to be jointly conducted in the different environments/cultures/countries. 4.3. Developing research proposals to be submitted to funding organizations – in government and industry. 4.4. Promoting research in this area among graduate students and young Ph.D.’s and cooperating with other researchers in other institutions. 5. Outputs and products: The bulk of this report will consist of short summaries of the outputs listed below of activities conducted and products generated by the WG2 members in the course of the four years of the COST Action TU1101. The outputs are divided into the three categories listed below. 5.1. Multi-country survey of bicycle use, and attitude, and crash experience by adult bicyclists in 17 countries. 5.2. Short-term scientific meetings (STSMs). 5.3. Presentations, technical reports and scientific papers published by the WG members on cycling with particular reference to cycling safety and bicycle helmets. 5.4. Potential applications and implementation of WG2 members’ research.
