Three organizations are collaboratively advancing road safety by implementing a proactive accident investigation model based on five 'I' principles.

•The Royal Automobile Association of Thailand (RAAT), FIA, and AIP Foundation are promoting a new road safety standard.
•The initiative centers on the '5 I' model: In-depth, Impartial, Immediate, Independent, and Injury Prevention.
•The goal is to identify root causes of accidents for sustainable reduction rather than solely focusing on assigning blame.

•The Royal Automobile Association of Thailand (RAAT) partnered with the International Automobile Federation (FIA) and AIP Foundation to introduce the '5 I' model.
•The '5 I' model is presented as a standard practice for road accident investigation.
•The model focuses on understanding 'true causes' and not just superficial observations, by thoroughly examining pre-accident, during-accident, and post-accident phases.
•Investigations are to be conducted impartially, transparently, and without conflicts of interest, utilizing academic principles and independent experts.
•Immediate on-site investigations are crucial to prevent evidence loss and enable timely recommendations.
•The process must be free from external interference to ensure unbiased and verifiable recommendations.
•The primary objective is 'reducing loss' by preventing recurrence and increasing survival rates through data-driven safety measures.
•The initiative aims to shift societal and organizational paradigms towards addressing the root causes of road accidents and creating a safer driving environment.
