• Abstract:
  This report presents descriptive statistics about Canadian traffic collisions during the ten-year period ; from 1988 to 1997, focusing specifically on casualty collisions. Casualty collisions are defined as all ; reportable motor vehicle crashes resulting in fatalities or injuries. ; Transport Canada, in cooperation with the Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators, ; acquires vehicle collision data from provincial and territorial agencies and stores this information in ; its own Traffic Accident Information Database (TRAID). All the traffic collision statistics presented ; here were derived from this database. The various jurisdictions collect largely similar crash data, but ; because each jurisdiction has its own collision report forms and reporting procedures and maintains ; its own data, there cannot be complete data uniformity. ; The first section of the report reviews the environmental elements of collisions, including day, time, ; weather, road attributes, and crash configurations. The second section examines factors related to ; the vehicles involved in collisions such as vehicle type, vehicle manoeuvre, and vehicle events. ; Finally, the third section looks at the age, sex, road user category, and other characteristics of the ; persons involved in vehicle crashes. ; All tables in this report present data for the ten-year period from 1988 to 1997, and all tables ; except Table 1.1 refer to fatality and injury collisions exclusively. A brief discussion of selected tenyear ; trends or averages is included at the beginning of each section. ; Manitoba collision statistics from 1989 are excluded from this report because technical difficulties ; within the jurisdiction have made the data unavailable. Where necessary, other significant data ; exclusions are noted below the relevant table.
