Résumé / Abstract
THE PURPOSE OF THIS PAPER IS TO DESCRIBE A LINE OF RESEARCH DESIGNED TO REVEAL KNOWLEDGE AND REPRESENTATIONS USED BY DRIVERS TO MANAGE THE DIFFICULTIES THEY ENCOUNTER WHEN TRAVELLING ON THE ROAD. IT PRESENTS ON-GOING WORK AIMED AT CLASSIFYING ROAD ACCIDENTS ACCORDING TO THE FAILURES THAT CAN BE IDENTIFIED DURING THE VARIOUS FUNCTIONAL STAGES INVOLVED IN DRIVER ACTIVITY, AND THE PROCESSES THAT PRODUCE THESE FAILURES. IT PUT FORWARD A THEORETICAL EXPLANATION FOR SOME OF THESE FAILURES THAT CORRESPOND, IN GENERAL TO A PROBLEM OF 'REPRESENTATION', AS SEEN THROUGH THE CONCEPT OF SCENARIO AND SITUATION CATEGORIZATION.
