Abstract

This paper discusses the problem of traffic accidents in developing countries and describes approaches adopted in the establishment of accident investigation systems in two developing countries - Trinidad and Tobago, and Bahrain. The work was undertaken in 1979 and 1980, and completely different systems had to be devised to meet the needs of each country. The choice of system was governed partly by the resources available and partly by the responsibilities and structure of the client organisation. This paper seeks to highlight the main features necessary in such systems, and discusses and compares the effectiveness of the two systems implemented in helping to improve road safety in these countries. For the covering abstract of the seminar see IRRD no 266707.
