This thesis analyses previous accident research and provides a proposed structure to describe and assist the understanding for the reasons why accidents occur. The analysis of a computer based information system have to take the specific "User" requirements into account in order that the correct "system" is provided. This research provides an analysis of a literature review of researchers into different types of "systems". Following this ananysis a conceptual method of representing and describing a generic system is presented. The idea that a driver could be considered the analyst of manager of a "system" is introduced and described. This thesis analyses some of the decision variables involved in driving, and suggests how computer based information systems are able to support a manager tasked with preventing future traffic accident occurences, using driver training as the control mechanism. A survey of Army drivers accidents histories is carried out and compared with the number of hours of driver training received.
