causation analyses

Formal crash-causation studies and methodologies that systematically establish why crashes happen across a sample or population — large-scale causation surveys (e.g. the National Motor Vehicle Crash Causation Survey), critical-reason and causal-factor coding frameworks, and the analytic methods for attributing crash causes. The methodological enterprise of determining causation at scale, distinct from the detailed single-event reconstruction of in_depth_crash_investigation and from cataloguing the specific factors themselves (pre_crash_contributing_factors).
