A6.9 - Tables

Introduction

Tables A6.19 to A6.22 are for use in the worksheets provided chapter 5 of this manual. These tables are used for calculating annual accident costs, depending on which of the accident analysis procedures is used.

Tables A6.19 through to A6.21 are for use with Method A, accident-by-accident analysis, while Table A6.22 is for use with Methods B and C, accident rate analysis and the weighted accident procedure.

Table A6.19(a), (b) and (c) - Ratio of fatal to serious accident severities by movement for different speed limits.

Table A6.20(a) - Factors for converting from reported injury accidents to total injury accidents.

Table A6.20(b) - Factors for converting from reported minor injury accidents to total non-injury accidents.

Table A6.21(a), (b), (c) and (d) - Cost per accident by movement and vehicle involvement for fatal, serious, minor and non-injury accidents in 50 km/h speed limit areas.

Table A6.21(e), (f), (g) and (h) - Cost per accident by movement and vehicle involvement for fatal, serious, minor and non-injury accidents in 100 km/h speed limit areas for use with Method A, accident-by-accident analysis.

Table A6.22 - Cost per reported injury accident.
