Abstract

In July 1994, a Pedestrian Crash Data Study (PCDS) was initiated within the United States to collect detailed crash reconstruction data for pedestrian crashes. This paper reports on the scope and design of the PCDS. It also examines the results of early months of data collection and reports on the new techniques used for data collection, including the use of video recording for vehicle and scene documentation and the development of a pedestrian contour gauge for the documentaion of the pedestrian's contacts with the vehicle. Additional analyses of the pedestrian crash circumstances, including pre-crash, at crash, and injury consequences, are also discussed. (A)
