damage categories. The number of vehicles is unchanged by the redistribution. This<br />
procedure is conducted for each collision severity separately. For example, the 58<br />
vehicles with unknown vehicle damage involved in fatal collisions in 2004, are<br />
redistributed as follows: 33 demolished; 9 severe; 7 moderate; 6 light and 2 none. Similar<br />
adjustments would be performed automatically if raw data from ORSAR for other years<br />
was entered into the model in place of the 2004 data.<br />
Step 1<br />
Allocate unknown vehicle damage to other severity categories<br />
based on proportions in each category<br />

2. Human Consequences<br />
Injury and fatality data reported in ORSAR tend to under report and misreport the<br />
extent of human consequences of motor vehicle collisions. This section discusses<br />
