2017 FARS/CRSS Pedestrian Bicyclist Crash Typing Manual: A Guide for Coders Using the FARS/CRSS Ped/Bike Typing Tool

The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has released a report that identifies gaps in the pedestrian and bicyclist crash data in the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) and the Crash Report Sampling System (CRSS). It also provides guidance to FARS/CRSS coders who use the software to generate FARS/CRSS data. This software was developed in order to describe the sequence of events leading to crashes between motor vehicles and pedestrians or bicyclists in order to mitigate crashes.
