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 />
