Samenvatting
The Auckland Car Crash Study (ACCIS) has been undertaken as a response to the shortage of reliable information about causal factors for car crash injuries, other than alcohol, speed and seatbelt usage. It aims to identify potentially modifiable risk factors for car crashes that produce serious injuries and assess the contribution of different factors to the burden of injury. The study has measured a range of driver, vehicle and environmental factors, and driver sleepiness is the first major factor to be analysed.
