A questionnaire was developed to evaluate a driver-vehicle factors in the pre-crash phase. Driver, vehicle, and environmental faults were identified, and the information needed to avoid the crash was determined. Twenty Multi-Disciplinary Accident cases were evaluated by 14 raters and the information needed by drivers to have aided them in avoiding the crash were categorized as: (1) warning of impending vehicle failure, (2) training in vehicle-handling, (3) driver education of accident predisposing situations, (4) knowledge of the distance, and relative speed with respect to other vehicles or objects, and (5) road signing and hazard marking. Appropriate countermeasures can be taken to reduce vehicle accidents based on these information needs. High rater response consistency and discrimination among the characteristics of the cases was obtained. Raters were able to use the questionnaire reliably with little training. (Author)
