Abstract

The use of accident statistics as a starting point and criterion of traffic safety measures has many disadvantages and limiting factors. For future research, general standardized observation methods and statistical procedures are extremely important for an international cooperation. A general trend of traffic conflict studies is that accidents, as a criterion of this method, have given very inconsistent results. This may depend on the random nature of accidents and their recording system.
