The purpose of this study was to perform an in-depth analysis of vehicle accident cause factors. Since analytic resources were limited, it was decided to focus on vehicular accidents that: (a) were Army-responsible in terms of accountability and prevention; and (b) had the best information in terms of quality and quantity. It was decided to select on-duty vehicular accidents because the Army is clearly responsible for them. From these on-duty accidents, those which resulted in a fatality were selected because their reports were expected to have better information than reports of less severe accidents. Also, the number of fatal on-duty accidents was small enough to permit a cause-factor analysis of each report. It was expected that drivers would be frequently cited as accident cause factors so the analysis was directed toward driver error.
