PROTOTYPICAL SCENARIOS, A TOOL FOR ROAD SAFETY RESEARCH AND DIAGNOSTIC STUDIES
本文介绍了自1980年代末法国道路安全记录中使用的原型事故场景概念，该概念通过归纳相似事故的因果链来概括知识，用于安全研究和诊断。
The concept of a prototypical accident scenario has been used since the late 1980s in French road safety records. A prototypical scenario can be defined as a prototype of the accident process corresponding to a series of accidents which are similar in terms of the chain of facts and causal relationships found throughout the various accident stages. The concept provides a means of combining and generalizing the knowledge obtained from accident case studies, based on in depth investigation methods or on detailed analysis of police reports. The paper presents the prototypical scenario concept, its theoretical background, and the way it is used for safety research and studies.
