DANISH ROAD TRAFFIC ACCIDENT<br />
INVESTIGATION BOARD<br />
The Danish Road Traffic Accident Investigation<br />
Board was set up by the Minister for Transport<br />
in April 2001.<br />
The objective of the Board is to compile<br />
knowledge of road traffic accidents.<br />
Any new knowledge acquired is to be applied<br />
for the benefit of improved road safety.<br />
The Board is comprised by an interdisciplinary<br />
group of members engaged in in-depth<br />
analyses of frequent and serious types of<br />
road traffic accidents. The Board investigates<br />
the circumstances of individual accidents in<br />
order to form a precise picture of the<br />
underlying factors.<br />
The Board carries out analyses based on<br />
available material from the police, vehicle<br />
inspectors, road authorities, hospitals/<br />
emergency rooms and the Department of<br />
Forensic Medicine.<br />
The Board uses the material to complement<br />
its own investigation of the vehicles involved<br />
and of the scene of the accident, and<br />
conducts interviews with the parties involved<br />
in the accident as well as any witnesses, the<br />
police and the rescue team.<br />
The Board is commissioned to contribute new<br />
or supplementary knowledge in road safety,<br />
which at the initiative of other institutions<br />
leads to preventive action against road traffic<br />
accidents.<br />
The object is not to determine the question<br />
of guilt or innocence in a legal sense.<br />
