Die Entwicklung und Epidemiologie der Verkehrsunfälle in den städtischen Ballungsräumen und deren Umgebung. (The development and epidemiology of traffic accidents in built-up areas and their vicinity.)

An analysis is made of the medical histories of 8589 casualties who suffered injuries in the years 1964 to 1973 and who survived. The casualties are divided into age-groups of 5 years each. The change in vehicle types over the ten-year period is also studied. It emerges that the number of injured motor-cycle drivers and passengers has dropped in contrast tot the increasing number of injured car driver and passengers. A further section of the report deals with the incidence of various types of badly injury.
