Investigation network and traffic accident collection techniques (INTACT)

Research Project, 2007 – 2010

INTACT is a pilot project aiming at developing an effective methodology for investigating traffic accidents with personal injury. The investigations will cover all phases of the accidents (i.e. pre-crash, in-crash and post-crash) and all parts of the traffic system (i.e. human, vehicle and road environment). Joint efforts between the vehicle industry, road authority, university and health care provide multidisciplinary competence in the field and lead to a more effective use of investigation resources.

The INTACT project is an IVSS (Intelligent Vehicle Safety Systems) funded project with eight partners involved. All partners are working actively in the project and in total there are approximately 40 persons working in different parts of the project. The partners are Volvo Cars, AB Volvo, Autoliv Development, Scania, Saab Automobile AB, Chalmers University of Technology, Sahlgrenska Academy (University of Gothenburg) and the Swedish Road Administration.
