The preliminary results of an effort to identify and rank collision situations on the basis of a "collision typology" are summarized for four databases. An 18-level collision configuration variable was constructed which included the number of vehicles involved, their relative orientation, intent to turn, relation to intersection, and traffic control at the intersection. "Contributing factors" are defined and identified on the basis of statistical associations between the levels of the factors and the categories of the collision typology. Five of the most prevalent collision types were selected for more detailed review based on a probability-based sample of the original police accident reports.
