Abstract

The Action Analysis Group at the University of Nottingham uses sequence analysis and a range of related techniques to study various psychological problems and processes. Past projects have looked at machine-learning techniques for data analysis, language change, human-computer interaction, and road accidents. Road accident projects undertaken for the Department for Transport/Transport Research Laboratory (TRL) over the last 20 years have investigated, in depth, right-turning accidents, overtaking accidents, young driver accidents, motorcycle accidents, work-related road traffic accidents and in-car fatal accidents. The research shows that police accident reports are 'information-rich' sources that can be a valuable tool for providing information about the causation of a variety of accidents. This paper describes techniques and main findings from each project and also examines some procedural problems affecting the work. For the covering abstract see ITRD E0903020.
