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 postcrash) 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 collected data should form a basis for safety measures reducing:

• the number of accidents with personal injury
• the severity of injuries in accidents
• the consequence of sustained injuries in accidents

The project is divided into three phases:

Phase 1, 2007

• Methodology development for investigation of pre‑crash, in-crash and post-crash phases
• Pilot - Data collection and case analysis
• Methodology evaluation and update

Phase 2, 2008

• System development for data storage and analysis
• Data collection and case analysis
• Methodology evaluation and update

Phase 3, 2009

• Investigation of project continuation and national expansion
• Data collection and case analysis
• Aggregated analysis of data
• Methodology evaluation and update
