COMPUTER ACCIDENT TYPING FOR BICYCLIST ACCIDENTS. CODER'S HANDBOOK
This Coder's Handbook is part of a package of materials developed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to enable states and communities to classify (i.e., "type") their bicyclist/motor vehicle accidents. By determining the frequency of occurrence of the various bicyclist accident types, safety planners can select the NHTSA accident countermeasures which are of greatest value to the communities. This classification approach, called Computer Accident Typing or CAT involves coding information from a police accident report. The coded information is input to a computer which determines the bicyclist accident type.
