MANUAL ACCIDENT TYPING FOR PEDESTRIAN 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 pedestrian/motor vehicle accidents. By determining the frequency of occurrence of the various pedestrian accident types, safety planners can select the NHTSA accident countermeasures which are of greatest value to the communities. The classification approach is called Manual Accident Typing or MAT. The MAT approach involves reviewing the information contained in a police accident report and following a systematic step-by-step procedure to identify the correct accident type for the report.
