The report first describes briefly the operation of road accident investigation teams, started in 1968 by the Finnish Motor Insurers' Bureau and later expanded to cover the entire country. The accidents in which a vehicle occupant was killed have been investigated in the whole country for over ten years. In addition, there have been special separate projects on different accident types in specific regions over a few years. The study method currently employed is based on different levels of models. The causal factors of the accidents, as given by the investigation teams, are divided into direct (immediate) causes and indirect (background) causes. In the two groups human factors accounted for 96% - 59%, vehicular factors for 3% - 9%, and traffic environment factors for 18% - 32%. The accident prevention possibilities in these groups, as estimated by the investigation teams, were respectively 77%, 8% and 15%.
