Abstract

A analysis was conducted to determine if driver characteristics were related to factors which were judged to cause or increase the severity of accidents. Statisticial tests were employed to evaluate causation differences on the basis of driver trip plan, fatigue, number of passengers, age, driving experience, vehicle familiarity, and road area familiarity. Results indicate driver fatigue, trip plan, road area familiarity, number of passengers and age were related to factors which caused accidents. For males, vehicle familiarity and for females, driving experience were also related.
