Abstract:Pedestrians, bicyclists, and other non-motorist road users account for a disproportionate and growing share of U.S. traffic fatalities and injuries in recent decades. Crash types are a way to describe immediate precrash events or conflict types associated with crashes involving different road users. This information can help safety professionals determine the myriad ways crashes might be prevented through a system of effective road safety measures; improvements to policies, community, and roadway design guidance; and other strategies such as enhanced crash-prevention technologies. Yet, crash data are often not as complete or descriptive of precrash events and circumstances for crashes involving nonmotorists compared with crash data for motor vehicle-only crashes. The Pedestrian and Bicycle Crash Analysis Tool (PBCAT) version 3.0 (PBCAT 3) is a web-based application developed to help agencies generate unique crash types from a nonmotorized road user safety perspective. PBCAT 3 helps agencies generate objective descriptors of nonmotorist crash types, location context, and other crash circumstances, which in turn can be used to inform crash and injury prevention strategies. The PBCAT 3 crash-typing framework is significantly different from former versions of PBCAT and is detailed in this User Guide. In addition, PBCAT 3 expanded to enable typing crashes involving new and different types of non-motorists in addition to crashes involving cyclists and pedestrians—all in one streamlined, accessible crash typing system. This User Guide is a companion resource to assist those using PBCAT 3.
