Abstract

Exposure information is almost always used for accident data interpretation, although a few studies have suggested that exposure behaviour may have value as a counter-measure objective and thus as a variable in its own right. The conventional measure of "miles travelled" seems to reflect mainly the extent rather than the degree of accident risk exposure. There is thus a need for exposure data that reflect known accident dangers. A new approach to the causes of accidents based on the nature of the roads themselves, and on the forms of movement and interaction they make possible, may provide a way of meeting such a need. On the basis of recent work in the study of driving hazards supporting this road-based theory some new variables can be suggested which consist of simple extensions and modifications of existing practices.
