The Pedestrian and Bicycle Crash Analysis Tool (PBCAT) is a software product intended to assist State and local bicycle coordinators, planners, and engineers with improving walking and bicycling safety through the development and analysis of a database containing details associated with crashes between motor vehicles and pedestrians or bicyclists. One of these details is the crash type which describes the pre-crash actions of the parties involved. This product was developed by the Federal Highway Administration in cooperation with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The beta version of the software was completed in November 1999. Subsequently, the product underwent a limited beta test that involved a number of practitioners. This report documents the results of the test and provides recommended enhancements for future versions of PBCAT. (Author/publisher)
