Ontario Model<br />

damaged based on this number of collisions. This is illustrated in the next hypothetical<br />

example.<br />

In this example the average injury collision involves 1 injury and 3 vehicles.<br />

Given 10 injuries allocated to PDOs, the model would identify that 10 collisions needed<br />

to be transferred involving all 10 injuries and 30 vehicles. (The hypothetical example<br />

does not illustrate that the decision on how many collisions to transfer is based on the<br />

number needed to transfer all injuries of each injury severity.) The 10 collisions are<br />

transferred to injury collisions increasing the total from 100 to 110. Similarly, PDO<br />

collisions are reduced by 10 from 260 to 250. Characteristics of the collisions are also<br />

transferred with offsetting increases for injury collisions and decreases for PDO collisions<br />

in the number of injuries and vehicles involved.<br />
