vru crash typology

Classification and patterns of crashes involving vulnerable road users: pedestrian, cyclist, and motorcyclist crash types, contributing scenarios, impact configurations, and epidemiological breakdowns of non-occupant collisions. The angle is aggregate crash patterns and taxonomy across VRU types, not the moment-to-moment behavior of any single road user (pedestrian_behavior_perception, cyclist_safety) or the live driver-VRU negotiation (driver_vru_interaction). It describes how and which VRU crashes occur rather than how to signal or prevent them.
