COMPUTER ACCIDENT TYPING FOR PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENTS. TRAINING MANUAL
The objective of this manual is to train you to accurately classify or "type" pedestrian/motor vehicle accidents. That is, each accident involving a pedestrian and a motor vehicle can be classified into one of 37 accident types. You will learn the procedure for assigning a numeric code to an accident, given the information contained in the police accident report. Given this code, a computer can determine the correct accident type. This manual is designed to let you read the material and work practice exercises by yourself at your own pace. However, your supervisor (i.e., the person responsible for overseeing the coding of the accident reports) will work with you.
