Summary:

For one year now, an interdisciplinary team (engineers, physicians and a psychologist) has been working on an analysis of accident occurences, in Hannover. The accident causes, proceedings and consequences should be analysed by as precise and accurate methods of data acquisition as possible on the scene of the accident.First results show that only 36% of the accident causes could have been avoided or at least reduced. The remaining 64% of the accidents were based on human failings which cannot be changed or only changed with great difficulty.The analysis of accidents involving pedestrians showed that the more serious injuries were due to the impact with the vehicle and not the road surface
