In order to study behavior in traffic safety relevant situations (instead of traffic behavior in general), one should consider the circumstances during which traffic accidents occur and whether one could distinguish between different types of accidents. If it were possible to distinguish between accident types then it might be possible to identify behavioral scenarios for further research. This is tantamount to asking whether there was a system for classifying accidents in general, and Dutch traffic accidents in particular. A quick perusal of the literature determined that there had been some theoretical as well as empirical work done in the area of accident classification, but the applicability of the work to the Dutch (traffic) situation had not been determined. Furthermore, the SWOV Institute for Road Safety Research had access to the national traffic accident database, and it was felt that examination of the data would be a preliminary and useful step. The report describes the results of an attempt to systematically pigeonhole accidents using a data analytic technique.
