ICTCT

Info

ICTCT is an international association aiming since 1988 at building up and sharing scientific knowledge on road safety, with a particular interest for methods that do not only rely on crash data but also on non-crash events.

Geschichte

ICTCT – International Co-operation on Theories and Concepts in Traffic Safety

ICTCT is an association developed out of an international working group of safety experts with the aim to identify and analyse dangerous situations in road traffic on the basis of criteria other than past accidents, analogous to the methods of air and industrial safety.

Our Goal

International cooperation in the identification and analysis of potentially dangerous situations in road traffic and their causes, on the basis of relevant safety data derived from observations and surveys.

The aim of ICTCT is to achieve a deeper understanding of problems in the area, to harmonise future research activities, and to provide for means for an optimal utilisation of research results from different countries.

To fulfil these aims ICTCT has been involved in a number of cooperative research efforts (workshops, calibration studies, formulation of international guidelines, clearing house for reports, etc.).

“WE DON’T NEED ACCIDENTS IN ORDER TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS!”

because we are aware of “Danger indicators”
Danger indicators are, for example, traffic conflicts and near-accidents, as well as the behaviour and interaction patterns in which they are rooted to improve knowledge about these events and behaviour patterns, which in the long run lead to accidents, is to be collocated within the ICTCT’s sphere of activities.
