 FOREWORD

The Motorcycle Crash Causation Study, conducted through the Federal Highway Administration
Office of Safety Research and Development, produced a wealth of information on the causal
factors for motorcycle crashes, and its corresponding Volumes provide perspectives on what
crash-countermeasure opportunities can be developed. This study used a crash- and control-case
approach developed from the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development
protocols, which as discussed in this report, has provided insights into more than 1,900 data
elements that may be associated with motorcycle-crash causation. The research team produced a
final report along with a 14-volume series of supplemental reports that provide an overview of
the study and a summary of its observations, the data-collection forms and coding definitions, a
tabulation of each data element collected from each form, and selected comparisons with
previous studies. It is anticipated that readers will select those Volumes and data elements that
provide information of specific interest.

This document, Volume 1—Data Collection and Variable Naming, describes the data naming
conventions, lists 2,600 uniquely named variables produced in the database, and provides a
means for users to identify variables of interest. This report will be of interest to individuals
involved in traffic safety, safety training, crash and injury reduction, and roadway design and
policy making, as well as to motorcycle- and safety-equipment designers, crash investigators and
researchers, motorcycle and automotive manufacturers and consumers, roadway users, and
human-factors specialists.

16. Abstract
The purpose of this study was to gather data on motorcycle crashes by intensive post-crash investigations and
control motorcycle observations and interviews conducted in Orange County, CA. The study developed a dataset
that researchers can access and use to investigate additional research questions. The database provides data from
351 injury crashes and 702 paired control observations. Of the crashes observed, 82 were single-vehicle crashes,
and 269 were multiple-vehicle crashes involving a total of 294 other in-transit vehicles and 11 parked vehicles.
Forty crashes resulted in fatalities with 22 single-vehicle-crash and 18 multiple-vehicle-crash fatalities observed.
The study compiled observations on rider, passenger, and other-vehicle driver demographics; environmental
factors; factors contributing to the crash; motorcycle and other-vehicle parameters; injuries sustained; and
clothing/safety equipment used. For crashes, the research team compared observations for crash and control
riders, passengers, and motorcycles and other vehicles involved in the crashes. Within the crash observations, the
study compiled and compared the data for single- and multiple-vehicle crashes, fatality and non-fatality crashes,
along with selected previous studies and elements of the National Automotive Sampling System (NASS)/General
Estimates System (GES) and Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) databases.(1–3) The data are available in
SAS® and ExcelTM formats along with a Coding Manual defining all codes used.(4)

 DATA-COLLECTION FORMS

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) conducted this Motorcycle Crash Causation
Study (MCCS) to identify and evaluate factors that may contribute to the rising toll of
motorcycle crash–related fatalities and injuries in the United States. Data were collected on 351
police-reported, motorcycle-involved, injury-producing crashes. Whenever possible, trained
investigators responded to notifications of crashes and began data collection while first
responders were present at the scene of the crash. Data collection was executed using 14 data-
collection forms. These forms each contain a series of questions (herein referred to as variables)
and designated spaces for entering the responses. Responses were selected from a series of
codes, and each series provided either a complete set of possible responses or a list of anticipated
responses and the ability to enter additional data in a text field. The screen capture in figure 1 is
an example of a logically complete set of anticipated responses to the variable asking which day
of the week the crash occurred. The full form is available in appendix A-1.

Source: FHWA.
Figure 1. Screen capture. Example of a logically complete set of anticipated responses.

In this example, only seven responses are possible, all of these responses are listed, and the
single digit representing the appropriate day of the week would be entered on the space provided.
For other variables, the possible responses are too numerous to list, and so, the data would be
entered directly in the spaces provided on the form, such as in the case of the odometer reading
of a motorcycle. The screen capture in figure 2 is an example of such a variable. The full form is
available in appendix A-8. For unusual situations, guidance was provided in each variable
(regarding the odometer reading, for instance, if the odometer were broken or missing, a
response could not be obtained).

Source: FHWA.
Figure 2. Screen capture. Odometer reading in miles.

For many variables, while it was possible to enumerate most of the possible responses with a
high degree of confidence, the data-collection forms provided the investigator the ability to either
select from the coded responses or to select a response code. In unusual cases, for instance,

1
“(98) other (specify)” would be selected and the data added into a text field. The screen capture
in figure 3 is an example of this type of variable. The full form is available in appendix A-12.
Only in cases when a written response for the variable was required would the investigator enter
data in the associated text field; this saved time in data entry, assured consistent responses, and
provided a verification that the list did not include the needed response/code. Periodically, the
entries in the text fields were reviewed and the Coding Manual (MCCS Volume 2) and data-
collection forms were updated.(4)

Source: FHWA.

Each of the 14 data-collection forms are provided in appendix A. These forms and their
corresponding abbreviations, which were used for naming purposes (discussed further in the
section Data Naming and Coding: Conventions and Identification of Data Elements for
Research) are as follows:

• Crash Form (CF).

• Environment Form (EF).
• Contributing Factors Form (FF).
• Motorcycle Rider Form (MR).
• Control Motorcycle Rider Form (CR).
• Motorcycle Passenger Form (MP).
• Control Motorcycle Passenger Form (CP).
• Motorcycle Mechanical Form (MM).
• Control Motorcycle Mechanical Form (CM).
• Motorcycle Dynamics Form (MD).
• Injury Form (IF).
• Other Vehicle Driver Form (OD).
• Other Vehicle Form (OV).
• Helmet Form (HF).

2
Whenever two or more forms contained the same variables, which often occurred with the pairs
of crashed and control riders, passengers, and motorcycles, the enumerated responses were
identical so that the responses were consistently coded and readily tabulated and compared.
Volumes 3 through 131 of this study provide the tabulations and comparisons of the data
collected on the various forms. The 14 Volumes provide example data comparisons to previous
and national studies.(4,5)

 DATA NAMING AND CODING: CONVENTIONS AND IDENTIFICATION OF DATA
ELEMENTS FOR RESEARCH

Within the study, variable naming conventions were employed to enable identification of similar
data elements. Within the SAS® and ExcelTM data, variable names were developed as
concatenations of acronyms and abbreviations to enable researchers to quickly and easily
associate data elements that may be needed to address their research interests. All variable names
were limited to 32 characters or fewer by the SAS® software. The general format of variable
names concatenated the form acronym with the three-digit variable number and a variable
descriptor developed using block codes. For example, the variable that tallies the number of
motorcycle passengers involved in the crash is variable 8 of the Crash Data-Collection Form and
would be designated as CF008_MCPASSENGERCOUNT.

On the data-collection forms (see appendix A of this Volume), the team endeavored to
enumerate and define the most likely responses. As not all of the possible responses could be
explicitly enumerated or would be applicable in all situations, three codes were provided: “not
applicable,” “other (specify),” and “unknown.” These three codes always ended with the digits
97, 98, or 99, respectively. Whenever the format for the data entry required more than two digits,
additional preceding 9s (997, 9997, 99997, …) were included to assure data consistency. The
“other (specify)” code (all 9s followed by an 8 entered into the response field) was provided to
capture unanticipated responses in text. To capture such unanticipated responses, a two-level
response format was used. Whenever a field investigator encountered a situation in the field that
was not included in the list of anticipated responses, the investigator would enter a series of 9s
ending with an 8 to designate that a text field would be used to enter the data. Data elements that
were used to hold these text data appended the characters “TXT” to the block code. For example,
if an investigator encountered a rider with an unusually colored helmet, in response to
variable 30 of the Motorcycle Rider Data-Collection Form, he or she would first record “98” for
the variable MR030_HELMETCOLOR and then a text description/designation of the color in the
MR30_HELMETCOLORTXT field. As the study unfolded, whenever the same TXT response
began to appear repeatedly, the response was added to the enumerated list of responses on the
data-collection form and to the Coding Manual (MCCS Volume 2).(4) This enabled the responses
to be included in and improve the strength of the statistical analyses (see Volumes 3 through 142
for tabulation and statistical comparisons of the observed data). A full list of all data names used
in the study is provided in appendix B of this Volume.

This data naming structure was established in order to assist researchers in the identification of
data items of interest and provide a means of grouping and exploring the relationships of
(possibly) related data elements so that their individual and collective interaction/influence on
crash potential can be developed. For example, in a study on conspicuity, one might wish to
generate a list of data elements related to color. The following is a list of the 72 data elements
with the first two letters providing the data form/entity identification, the next three numbers

Within the dataset, separate records are available and numbered consecutively to distinguish the
multiple entities when more than one is associated with a particular crash. For example, each
injury is included as a separate record. Whenever the rider, passenger, and other crash-involved
individual were injured in the same crash, a separate Injury Data-Collection Form was used to
collect the data for each individual. Each form for the crash is identified by the crash number and
the injured individual’s unique identifier, and the individual/multiple injuries are each
uniquely/serially numbered and identified in the data. This allowed grouping of the data for the
crash as well as for each individual as needed in the analysis.

In a similar vein, some variables collected multiple responses. For example, a rider may hold
multiple licenses or endorsements, such as motorcycle, auto, chauffer, etc., or perform multiple
pre-departure motorcycle checks, such as for tire inflation, worn cables, fluids, etc. For variables
that received multiple responses, a numerical designator was added to each response so it could
be identified individually. For example, a motorcycle rider may have up to four licenses, the data
elements of which would be named MR091_LICENSETYPE1, MR091_LICENSETYPE2,
MR091_LICENSETYPE3, and MR091_LICENSETYPE4.

The list of data elements provided in this Volume may be searched visually or by using
document/text filters, or for those researchers wishing to work directly with the case data (see

7
next section of this document, Procedures for Obtaining Electronic Study Files/Data for
instructions on how to access the data), searchable lists in ExcelTM can be obtained and used. By
filtering the data-element names, for example, using the text filters in ExcelTM, one can easily
find the variables of interest, especially in Volumes 3 through 14 of this study.

An example of a search for data elements related to color for both crash and control riders using
text filters in ExcelTM is illustrated in figure 4. Note that the “AND” option and the wild card,
“?,” are used to limit the search to variable names that contain “COLOR,” and MR0 and CR0 are
specified to search only for the MR and CR and variables 01 through 99.
