This deliverable is intended to collate the DaCoTA training manual and draft protocols for in-depth road accident investigations in Europe. This deliverable aims at producing a document that will be used in the training of new and previously experienced teams in the realm of in depth accident data collection. The document is divided into 2 main sections. The first presents the DaCoTA Training Manual and the second presents the DaCoTA training materials. These materials were used as a basis for developing a training protocol for the Pan European In depth Accident Investigation Network. The training materials were used to train the new member teams with regards to the DaCoTA accident investigation protocols highlighting the DaCoTA database as the main tool to use when inputting data. The DaCoTA training manual outlines all of the variables that are required to be gathered during in depth accident investigation and inputted into the DaCoTA database. This manual is available online at the web address http://dacotainvestigation-manual.eu/ . Credentials to these documents are available from the DaCoTA network partners on request. The DaCoTA training materials were developed by the Pan European In depth accident network to train new teams in the DaCoTA protocols for in depth accident investigation. These materials were used during the DaCoTA training week which was held at the IDIADA complex in Santa Olive between the 12th-16` March 2012. The materials presented in this document were the presentations/annotations that were used during this training week. (Author/publisher)
