摘要：	A report is given on an application of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) pedestrian crash-typing system for categorizing pedestrian-motor-vehicle crashes according to the specific sequence of events leading up to individual crashes. Results are based on a recent sample of over 5,000 pedestrian crashes drawn from six states and reported by police. Over 80% of the pedestrian crashes fell into the following crash type categories: vehicle turn or merge (9.8%), intersection dash (7.2%), driver violation at intersection (5.1%), other intersection (10.1%), midblock dart or dash (13.3%), other midblock (13.1%), not in roadway and waiting to cross (8.6%), walking along roadway (7.9%), and backing vehicle (6.9%). These crash types were found to vary according to the characteristics of the pedestrian and factors of the location, environment, and roadway. The process of typing pedestrian crashes can be a valuable tool at both the state and local level for developing more highly effective countermeasures to reduce the annual toll of nearly 100,000 pedestrians killed and injured in traffic crashes.
