The crash analysis system, (CAS), database provides safety information both for day to day operational needs, and for long term strategic planning. To assist our partners in this work Transport Agency staff from the CAS team can provide some advice and support. They can provide output from database queries in a range of reports and tables in both paper and electronic formats for further manipulation. Data exports are also available on request in a range of formats, eg for spreadsheets for mapping packages or for geographic information systems, (GIS). For information or to discuss data exports contact: CAS.Info@nzta.govt.nz The coded crash listing is one of the basic tools for transport safety work. This document is to assist both the casual and the experienced user to confidently interpret coded crash listing reports from the CAS package. Traffic crash data is entered directly into CAS as it arrives from the New Zealand Police so the database is a live database and is continually changing as data is entered and edited. NZ Transport Agency Guide for the interpretation of coded crash reports from CAS January 2014 page 3 Key to crash listing CAS listing A standard coded listing example: 2 4 3 1 14 5 6 15 8 7 16 23 9 17 10, 11 & 12 13 26 18 22 25 19 20 NZ Transport Agency Guide for the interpretation of coded crash reports from CAS January 2014 page 4 21 24 Listing interpretation 1. Key (optional) The key provides a sequential number for each crash in the listing, or within each site if the data is grouped into sites. The key is not unique to the crash and may relate to a different crash if the listing is sorted another way. 2. Site centre (optional) Where the crashes have been grouped into sites, this variable provides the location of the centroid of the site, (the centre of the site of user selected radius). This is in terms of the New Zealand Transverse Mercator, (NZTM) projection. The values are given as an easting and northing to the nearest metre. 3. First street This is the name of the street, road or state highway on which the crash occurred. It is written in full, except for ‘street’ which is shortened to ‘ST’. For long road names, (especially for hyphenated road names), there may be some further shortening by truncation, down to 25 characters, eg MastertonCastlepoint Road will become: MASTERTON-CASTLEPOINT ROA or MASTERTON-CASTLEPOINT RD If the first street is a state highway, it may be presented as a number made up of three sections. These three sections represent the ‘route position’, (RP), a linear method of describing a location on a route, eg 2/451/2.342. This can be broken down as: • State Highway (SH) – SH 2 • Reference Station (RS) – 451 • Displacement (Displ) – 2.342km from RS451, (in the increasing direction of the highway). In sections of highway that run through a town or city the state highway may, (but not always), also have the urban street name included, eg 2/661/9.983 Karamu. Some short highways that perform a particular network function, eg a spur highway to a tourist destination, or a link between two other highways. Such a highway may be named with an alphabetic character following the number, which may already be allocated to a longer highway, eg SH 20A, SH 8B. Note: Reports can be produced with ‘simple route positions’ which only list the state highway number, (eg SH 2). This is an option available when preparing the report. This is also the case if the route position is not known, i.e. if the crash has not been assigned map coordinates within the database, (called geocoding). Where crashes are not on a road, abbreviations are often used to identify common locations eg FCT = service station forecourt, CPK = car park, BCH = beach. DWY or DWAY = driveway. In general, off road crashes are identified by the prefix ‘Z’ eg Z FCT Shell, Z Waimakariri River south bank. 4. Distance and direction (DIR) The distance given is in metres from the second street or landmark, (see 5 below), along the road to the crash site, eg 50 represents 50 metres, 1500 represents 1.5km. Note: The distance should be considered approximate as it may reflect where the crash vehicle(s) stopped moving rather than where the crash started, and in rural areas there can be large distances between the crash location and a second street or landmark, with consequent potential for inaccurate measurement. The CAS Processing Team staff put significant effort into resolving such issues. If you find a crash location, or other aspect of the crash data that you know to be incorrect, contact the Transport Agency NZ Transport Agency Guide for the interpretation of coded crash reports from CAS January 2014 page 5 help desk: info@nzta.govt.nz or 0800 805 263. The matter will be investigated and you will be advised of the outcome. Direction from the second street or landmark is indicated by a one letter code as follows: N = north S = south E = east W = west. If the crash is at an intersection eg Colombo St, Western Valley Road, or at a landmark, eg Oaro Saddle, Hope Riv Br, this is indicated as follows: I = at intersection with A = at landmark. 5. Second street or landmark A crash is located from a second street or landmark. The second street must be a side street that intersects the first street, preferably the side street closest to the crash location. A landmark is used where there is no nearby second street, and is usually a prominent and reasonably permanent feature that is likely to be on a map, eg bridge (BR), summit (SUM), overbridge (OBR), railway level crossing (rail xing). Note: When the side road is a state highway only the state highway number is given, eg SH 2. Alternatively, the underlying road name for the highway may be used. 6. Crash number The crash number is a unique seven or nine digit reference number assigned to each crash by the Transport Agency. This number includes the crash year, (the year in which the crash occurred), and a five digit sequence. The crash year precedes the crash number, (YYXXXXX), eg for 1998 crashes the number is shown as 98XXXXX, and for 2010 as 2010XXXXX. Note: The following conventions have been adopted for 21st century crashes: 2000 identified by prefix 20 2001 identified by prefix 21 2002 identified by prefix 22, etc. From 2010 the characters representing the year were increased to four digits: 2010 identified by 2010 2011 identified by 2011, etc 7. Date and day Crash date format is DD/MM/YYYY (day/month/year). Day format is DDD (eg Mon = Monday) 8. Time The 24 hour clock format is used to describe the time of day. 9. Movement code (MVMT) The vehicle movement code is a two letter code that identifies the principal movements of the vehicle or vehicles involved in the crash. The available codes are detailed in the Vehicle Movement Coding Sheet, NZ Transport Agency Guide for the interpretation of coded crash reports from CAS January 2014 page 6 (see Appendix 1). The first letter identifies the row and the second letter identifies the column, eg BC identifies row B, (a head-on crash), column C, (swinging wide), type of movement. 10. Key vehicle (V1) The key vehicle, (V1), which is assigned the crash role number of 1, is the vehicle travelling in the direction indicated by the darker, (bold), arrow in the diagram on the Vehicle Movement Coding Sheet. The role number of a vehicle identifies the role that vehicle played in the crash event, or, in crashes involving more than two vehicles, the order in which the vehicle became involved. Note: The vehicle role does not in any way indicate driver fault. The following codes are used to represent different vehicle types: C = car T = truck V = van, ute M = motorcycle X = taxi or taxi van P = moped B = bus S = bicycle L = school bus O = other or unknown SUV or 4X4 vehicle 11. Movement direction key (DRN) In order to identify the direction in which the key vehicle was travelling, and on which road it was travelling, a direction and number is given. The letter indicates the direction of travel and the number indicates the road on which the key vehicle was travelling. For the following cases, the key vehicle was travelling: 12. N1 = north on first street N2 = north on second street S1 = south on first street S2 = south on second street E1 = east on first street E2 = east on second street W1 = west on first street W2 = west on second street. V2, V3, V4 etc (Other vehicle(s) or road users) The codes are same as those for V1 above plus the following additional code letters for non-motorised vehicles. 13. E = pedestrian K = skateboard, in-line skater etc Q = equestrian H = wheeled pedestrian (wheelchairs etc) O = other or unknown. Factors and roles The factor codes are a set of three digit numerical codes that identify reasons why the crash occurred. They are grouped into related categories, (see Appendix 2). These factors are coded after consideration NZ Transport Agency Guide for the interpretation of coded crash reports from CAS January 2014 page 7 of the written explanation of what happened in the drivers’, the witnesses', and any other involved parties' statements, and in the Police descriptions and comments. A letter after the factor code indicates the vehicle or driver to which that factor applies. ‘A’ applies to V1; ‘B’ applies to V2, etc, eg 301B indicates that the driver of vehicle 2 failed to give way at a stop sign. As well as describing driver and vehicle-related factors, there are also codes for other aspects of a crash such as the road conditions and the environmental conditions. These environmental factor codes are numbered from 800 onwards. Note: Driver and vehicle factor codes were not added to non-injury crashes in the areas north of a line approximately from East Cape, south of Taupo, to the mouth of the Mokau River prior to 2007. Note: All contributing factors may not be shown in the listing due to space limitations on the report. 14. Objects struck During a crash the vehicle(s) involved may strike objects either in the roadway or on the roadside. Since the same vehicle might not have struck all the objects involved, each object is linked to the vehicle that hit it, but this is not shown on the listing. The coded crash listings show only the first three objects struck. The same object type may appear twice but only if it has been struck by different vehicles. Note: If one vehicle strikes the same object type more than once (ie 2 parked cars) then only the first is coded. The following is a guide to the different object type codes: A = driven or accompanied animals, i.e. under control B = bridge abutment, handrail or approach, includes tunnels C = upright cliff or bank, retaining walls D = debris, boulder or object dropped from vehicle E = over edge of bank F = fence, letterbox, hoarding etc. G = guard or guide rail (including median barriers) H = house or building I = traffic island or median strip J = public furniture, eg phone boxes, bus shelters, signal controllers, etc K = kerb, when directly contributing to incident L = landslide, washout or floodwater M = parked motor vehicle N = train P = utility pole, includes lighting columns Q = broken down vehicle, workmen’s vehicle, taxis picking up, etc R = roadwork signs or drums, holes and excavations, etc S = traffic signs or signal bollards T = trees, shrubbery of a substantial nature NZ Transport Agency Guide for the interpretation of coded crash reports from CAS January 2014 page 8 V = ditch W = wild animal, strays, or out of control animals X = other Y = objects thrown at or dropped onto vehicles Z = into water, river or sea. 15. Curve This is the degree of horizontal curvature of the road at the crash location, as described by the reporting police officer. The following codes are used: R = Straight road E = Easy curve M = Moderate curve S = Severe curve. 16. Wetness (WETNES) Shows the wetness of the road surface at the time of the crash, if recorded, as follows: W = Wet D = Dry I = Ice or snow. 17. Light The light conditions at the time of the crash are described by a one or two letter code where the first letter refers to natural light, and the second to artificial light. The second letter is only used if the crash occurred in dark or twilight conditions. Natural light conditions (first letter): B = Bright sun O = Overcast T = Twilight D = Dark. If the natural light conditions are T or D, the artificial lighting (second letter) is: O = street lights on F = street lights off N = No street lights present. 18. Weather (WETHER) The weather conditions are described as follows: F = Fine M = Mist/fog L = Light rain H = Heavy rain S = Snow. There are also optional second letters available for particular weather conditions: NZ Transport Agency Guide for the interpretation of coded crash reports from CAS January 2014 page 9 F = Frost S = Strong wind. eg FF = fine and frosty, HS = heavy rain and strong wind. 19. Junction (JUNCT) A junction code may be used when the crash is within 30 metres of an intersection, but is required only if the crash is 10 metres or less from an intersection. D = driveway (entrance to a public or private property that is not a road) R = roundabout (any number of legs) X = crossroads T = T junction Y = Y junction M = multi-leg (more than 4 legs entering or leaving the intersection). Note: When one of the vehicles involved is attempting to enter or leave a driveway at an intersection location, the driveway code takes precedence. 20. Control (CONTRL) If controls are present at the location of the crash and they are recorded they are listed as follows: T = traffic signals S = stop sign G = give way sign P = school patrol or warden N = nil. Note: The control is related to the junction and need not apply to the vehicle(s) involved in the crash. Priority control, (S or G), may also be shown at junctions that are known to be signalised, eg free, or give way controlled, left turns. 21. Markings (MARKS) The following codes are used to indicate what road markings were present at the crash location, if recorded by the attending officer. Only one marking is recorded. The list below is ordered in significance ranking, ie a pedestrian crossing is considered to be more important than a centre line, although both may be present at the crash location. X = pedestrian crossing R = raised island P = painted island L = no passing line C = centre line N = nil. NZ Transport Agency Guide for the interpretation of coded crash reports from CAS January 2014 page 10 22. Speed limit (SPDLMT) This shows the posted speed limit at the crash location, at the time of the crash, in kilometres per hour. The following codes may also be found: U = unknown LSZ = limited speed zone. 23. Total injuries (TOTAL INJ) There are three columns in this section. They list the number of casualties, (people injured), resulting from the crash, separated into the following categories: FAT = fatal injuries (where death is within 30 days and was as a result of the crash) SER = serious injuries, includes broken bones, concussion etc MIN = minor injuries, includes cuts, sprains, bruises etc. Note: This section is left blank for non-injury crashes. 24. Pedestrian age (PEDage) Age of any pedestrian injured. If more than one pedestrian is injured, the age of the youngest pedestrian below 20 years old is shown; otherwise this shows the age of the oldest pedestrian. 25. Cyclist age (CYCage) Age of any injured cyclist. If more than one cyclist is injured, the age of the youngest cyclist below 20 years old is shown; otherwise this shows the age of the oldest cyclist. 26. Map coordinates (optional) This shows the location of the crash in terms of the New Zealand Transverse Mercator, (NZTM) system. The values are given as an easting and northing to the nearest metre. If the easting and northing are unknown it will be blank.
