Pilot study on road user error and eontributing eonditions at interseetions in Victoria... 

The final two steps (Phases three and four) of this research program involve the design (Phase three) and conduct (Phase four) of a proof-of-concept pilot study on road user errors and latent conditions at intersections in Victoria. It is proposed that the pilot study be used to test and refine a novel methodology for collecting human error data within road transport and also to refine and validate the prototype model of road user error and contributing conditions presented in Figure 13.2. The proposed Phase four pilot study has the following three main aims ... 

Road User Error and Contributing Conditions Database Development. It is proposed that the data collected during the pilot study will be used to develop an initial database of road user error and contributing conditions at intersections. The database will contain information related to each of the different error types and contributing conditions identified. The database will be used to identify trends within the error data and also to inform the development of error tolerance strategies and error countermeasmes. Further, the database will be used to inform the development of the larger study on error and latent conditions within the whole road transport system. 

Prefacing the part, novel approaches such as using insurance data, theory of constraints, the use of techniques such as ICAM and minimizing road user errors provide an interesting flavom to safety data management and meaning.
