title: Accident modelling and economic evaluation.
abstract: This paper summarizes contributions to the IDBRA workshop made by Votey, Krupp and Jones-Lee. Votey set out the basic principles of costs and benefits as applied to accident control measures and discussed the various elements of effective economic analysis. Krupp presented information relating to the determination of the costs of injury accidents in the Federal Republic of Germany, and Jones-Lee discussed in more general terms the principle ways in which accident costs might be determined. The final section draws some general conclusions relating to the workshop as a whole.
