Samenvatting
A questionnaire was developed to evaluate driver-vehicle factors in the pre-crash phase. Accident cases were evaluated and the information needed by drivers to have aided them in avoiding the crash were categorized as: (1) warning of impending vehicle failure, (2) training in vehicle-handling, (3) driver education of accident predisposing situations, (4) knowledge of the distance and relative speed with respect to other vehicles or objects, and (5) road signing and hazard marking.
