Abstract

The relationships between driver behaviours causing and immediately preceding on accident (direct causes), and accident causative impairments in drivers ' predisposing mental and physical states were analyzed. A Relative Involvement Factor (RIF) was developed. The analysis indicates that causative conditions and states suppress certain direct causes while increasing the likelihood of others. Specific relationships are discussed.
