Abstract

The problem of road casualties in the United States is analyzed from a systems viewpoint. Road accident data are reviewed, an accident causation model is proposed and accident causation factors are described in terms of human, vehicular and environmental contributions. A comprehensive program of safety-oriented research is outlined and difficulties in setting research priorities are discussed.
