| + | [Analysis Method for Accident and Injury Risk Studies]: | ||
| + | |||
| + | We know the number of accidents $n$ (terminated trips), but have not much information about the number of all car trips $t>>n$ taken (trips at risk). | ||
| + | |||
| + | The ratio $R=n/t$ is called accident "risk" and the potentials $p$ thus also quantifies ratios of risks. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Similar to potentials, accident risks may be partitioned according to causes. | ||
| + | |||
| + | In any case, as long as we don't have access to t, we can't quantify risks as such. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Neither do we have information of trip length, in time or space, at accidents ("densities"). | ||
| + | |||
| + | The ratio $n/(t-n)$, i.e. accidents vs. non-accidents of all trips, is called "odds". | ||
| + | |||
| + | Other ratios considered are e.g. n over population or n over cars in use. Those are all called "rate" of some form. | ||
