Samenvatting
It would be useful to develop a theoretical framework for road accident causation in which "subjective" and "objective" risk have different roles. To do this, there is a need a /o. to create a definition for "objective" risk which is totally independent of road user perception. Such a measure would characterise the risk which is inherent or "built-in" to the road environment, and is therefore referred to it as "ambient risk".
