A study was conducted in Israel to investigate the causes of single-vehicle accidents with injury on non-urban roads. Detailed data on accident occurrences were collected from police accident files and analysed statistically and using the LOGIT model. A computerised accident report that contains the vocabulary used by police investigators was fitted to the accident patterns under investigation. The results showed that the single-vehicle accidents had different characteristics depending on the type of road on which they occur. The severity of single-vehicle accidents was higher than that of multiple-vehicle accidents. The severity of the accident was influenced by the presence of obstacles such as lighting poles. The safety barriers that were in use on the roads considered were not properly functioning.For the covering entry of this conference please see ITRD E132365
