Abstract
The aim of the project is to develop a method for accident-risk measuring by the use of conflict analysis. The basic Hypothesis is that, if the degree of seriousness in conflicts might be measured in an objective way, there is a connection between conflicts and actual accidents. The preliminary analysis aimed at the discriminating factors that influenced the relation between accidents and conflicts. Two factors were found with an absolutely dominating influence, the kind of road user involved and the speed-standard.
