Washington. D. C. - More
than four out of every five
automobile accidents - 83.2
percent - are caused by "human
factors," mostly driver errors,
according to a massive new
study of 1.305 accidents by an
Indiana University research
group for the U. S. Department
of Transportation.
Vehicular factors, such as
brakesand tires, caused only 4.2
percent of the accidents, the
researchers found. The only tires
involved in any of the accidents
were underinflated or bald.
Environmental factors, such
as obstructed field of vision and
slick roads, accounted for the
rest of the accidents.
"This important report should
help put the highway safety
picture back into perspective."
said Malcolm R. Lovell, Jr.,
Chairman of the Tire Industry
Safety Council. "The main effort
now should be to help drivers
and improve highways not to
order more expensive changes in
automobiles and tires.”
The landmark report, called a
"Tri - Level Study of the Causes
of Traffic Accidents," was made
by the Institute for research in
Public Safety of Indiana
University under an $880,000
contract with DOT. It covers
work done in 1973. the first year
of a continuing three - year
program to determine the real
causes of auto accidents and to
recommend "countermea-
sures" to DOT.
Pledges of $1,000 and $500 are
still being solicited.
The by - laws provide for a
board comprised of a panel of
seven directors from which a
chairman will be elected.
The Society is state -
chartered.

On the first level, investigat-
ors analyzed police records of
1.305 accidents in Monroe
County, Indiana, which is
"representative" of the whole
U. S., they said.
At the second level, "on site”
investigations of 836 of the
accidents were conducted.
Finally, "in depth" investiga-
tions were made of 215 accidents
by "mulitdisciplinary teams."
These teams included engi-
neers, mechanics, sociologists
and reconstruction specialists.
The in - depth teams identified
the "definite” causes of
accidents as follows: human
factors, 83.2 percent; environ-
mental factors, 16.4 percent and
vehicular factors, 4.2 percent.
These total slightly over 100
percent (103.8) because some
accidens had more than one
cause.
" in a sense, it is disappointing
that more dramatic and easily
pinpointed failures of the driver,
vehicles, or the environmental

accident causes. as these might

"Instead, several other gen-
eral categories emphasizing
human imperfection and care-
lessness have predominated, the
countermeasures for which seem
to call primarily for the relatively
difficult task of altering human
behavior," it added.
