This thesis concerns traffic safety, and more specifically, the way in which the human factor influence the development of accidents and incidents. A theoretical framework for understanding the human factor in the complex traffic environment is introduced. Then a method for analysing the interaction between driver, vehicle and traffic environment in accidents/incidents is presented, called DREAM (Driving Reliability and Error Analysis Method). The thesis concludes with a discussion of how DREAM can influence research and development of new active traffic safety technologies.
