Project

INTACT - Investigation Network and Traffic Accident Collection Techniques

Period
1 January 2007–1 January 2010
Project manager
Helen Fagerlind

INTACT is a pilot project aiming at developing an effective methodology for investigating traffic accidents with personal injury. The investigations will cover all phases of the accidents (i.e. pre-crash, in-crash and post-crash) and all parts of the traffic system (i.e. human, vehicle and road environment). Joint efforts between the vehicle industry, road authority, university and health care provide multidisciplinary competence in the field and lead to a more effective use of investigation resources. The collected data should form a basis for safety measures reducing: the number of accidents with personal injury; the severity of injuries in accidents; and the consequence of sustained injuries in accidents.
