The purpose of this report to review the potential for applying some recent advances in econometrics, particularly in the analysis of categorical data, to road accident research. The major conclusions are that the set of statistical techniques termed quantal response models, and extensions to these techniques, appear especially suited to the analysis of road accident data in that they posess an intuitively appealing theoretical framework, they can be estimated using individual data, thus providing certain statistical advantages and survey economies, and they offer considerable flexibility.
