28. as discussed later in this chapter Special Note To make use of the pedestrian location data in an analysis involving specific intersections it is necessary to sort the data by intersection location Refer to chapter 4 for a discussion of this issue Standard versus Group Typing The logic for the standard crash typing within PBCAT will produce 56 unique pedestrian crash types and 79 unique bicyclist crash types Some users may not want the level of detail that is available with these standard crash types They may select the group typing option for pedestrian and or bicyclist crashes on the Data Sources tab within Preferences See chapter 4 If selected the application will use a different logic that requires the user to answer a lesser number of questions directives and places each crash into one of 16 pedestrian crash type groups or 20 bicyclist crash type groups As an example of the differences in these two options consider a collision involving a motorist overtaking a bicyclist Within the standard crash typing logic the crash may be coded as one of four types 1 Motorist Overtaking Undetected Bicyclist 2 Motorist Overtaking Bicyclist Swerved 3 Motorist Overtaking Misjudged Space or 4 Motorist Overtaking Other Unknown If the group typing option were selected the crash would be coded as Motorist Overtaking Bicyclist The four detailed crash types available in the standard application are collapsed into the single choice
