Analysis and Estimation of the Social Cost of Motor Vehicle Collisions in Ontario<br />

Step 2<br />

Allocate additional fatalities based on proportion of major injuries<br />

Collision Severity<br />

Fatal<br />

Injury<br />

ORSAR data<br />

Additional<br />

Fatalilties 50 Fatalilties 10<br />

Major injuries 10 90<br />

Fatalilties 50 + 1 9<br />

Major injuries 10 - 1 90 - 9<br />

Fatalilties 51 9<br />

Major injuries 9 81<br />

The additional injuries (over ORSAR estimates) identified through the<br />

MOH&LTC data and the Chipman re-analysis are allocated among collisions severity<br />

categories based on the proportion (adjusted to allocate vehicles with unknown damage)<br />

of demolished vehicles. This is illustrated in the hypothetical example below where 10%,<br />

50% and 40% of the additional injuries are allocated to fatal, injury and PDO collisions to<br />

reflect the proportion of demolished vehicles in these collision severity groups. We<br />

believe injuries are highly correlated to vehicle damage and have therefore chosen this<br />

allocation mechanism for additional injuries.<br />
