Abstract
THE AIM OF THE STUDY WAS TO FIND TYPICAL ERRORS OF TRAFFIC PARTICIPANTS LEADING TO TRAFFIC-CONFLICTS. FOR THIS PURPOSE, CONFLICTS AND THE TYPE OF BEHAVIOUR LEADING TO THEM WERE REGISTERED BY OBSERVING 201 SUBJECTS DRIVING ALONG A STANDARDIZED ROUTE AND DESCRIBING THEIR BEHAVIOUR. THE DATA COLLECTED THIS WAY, TOGETHER WITH INFORMATION ABOUT THE DRIVING RECORD OF THE SUBJECTS OBTAINED IN EXPLORATION TALKS, WERE USED TO DESCRIBE DIFFERENT GROUPS OF DRIVERS BY ANALYZING WHICH FORMS OF BEHAVIOUR AFFECTING TRAFFIC SAFETY WERE TYPICAL. IN ADDITION, THE IMPORTANCE OF COMMUNICATION AND THE GENESIS OF CONFLICTS WERE INVESTIGATED.
