The French conflict technique has been developed at ONSER since 1973, primarily with the aim of providing a tool for short-term evaluation of safety measures in urban areas.Data-collection procedure is based on the subjective assessment of traffic situations by field-observers. A "risk-matrix", taking into account type of manoeuvres performed, category of road users involved and type of road junction links conflict data to the probability of injury-accidents occurring on the studied location.
