Examining Injuries
- Police-Reporting of Pedestrians and Bicyclists Treated in Hospital Emergency Rooms - University of North Carolina Highway Safety Research Center - [PDF, 37KB] - The purpose of the paper is twofold: (1) to provide additional information on the likely level of underreporting of pedestrian- and bicycle-motor vehicle collisions on state crash files, and (2) to examine whether cases that are reported differ in any systematic ways from those that are not reported, i.e., whether important biases exit in the police-reported databases.
- Injuries to Pedestrians and Bicyclists: An Analysis Based on Hospital Emergency Department Data - FHWA - [PDF, 688KB] - The purpose of the current study was to broaden understanding about the safety of pedestrians and bicycling.
