The history of Road Accident Investigation Teams in Finland goes back to 1968, when the activity was started, and since then the Teams have been studying the causes behind most of the fatal motor accidents. The case study method applied raised criticism, and a systematic development was started in 1978. The report summarizes that work, which comprises three phases. The new method is in two parts: reconstruction of the accident and psychological analysis of information flow. The analysis based on the reconstruction is a purely logical conclusion based on objective on-site measurements. In the psychological analysis of information flow the authors define the information which would have been necessary in order to avoid the accident, and the information about the situation that the driver actually received. The result of the investigation is a detailed description of the accident and of the analyses carried out.
