The concept of traffic conflict was initiated in the Uni ted States
in the 60s and raised a lot of interest in many countries: it was
an opening towards the develop ment of a new tool for safety
evaluation and the diagnosis of local safety pro blems. The need
for such a tool was great, because of the many situations where
accident data was either scarce, unsatisfactory or unavailable.
Development of Traffic Conflict Techniques (TCT) started
simultaneously in the 70s in several European count ries and new
studies were also undertaken in the Uni ted States, Canada and
Israel. The need for international cooperation was rapidly feIt, in
order to exchange data, compare definitions and check progresses.
An Association for International Cooperation on Traffic Conflict
Techniques (ICTCT) was therefore created, grouping researchers and
safety administrators, with the aim of promoting and organising
exchange of information and common practical work. Three Traffic
Conflict Techniques Workshops were organised, in Oslo (1977), Paris
(1979) and Leidschendam (1982). A small scale international
experiment of calibra tion of TCTs was also carried out in Rouen,
France, in 1979, and five teams took part in it from France,
Germany, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States; results
of this first experiment were used as a basis for the present
enterprise. To be acknowledged as a safety measuring tool, traffic
conflict techniques had to be validated in relation to traditional
safety indicators such as injury-accidents."
