Ontario Model individuals who self-insure will be captured by out-of-pocket expenses estimated below.) Finally claims related to snow machines may not involve a motor vehicle or be HTA reportable. We estimate property damage in 2004 at $1.8 billion. We allocate this total amount to vehicles damaged in 2004 as follows: • Demolished -- $20,070. • Severe -- $10,756. • Moderate -- $4,565. • Light -- $996. We use these values in 2004, and values adjusted for inflation in other years, to allocate property damage to vehicles involved in motor vehicle collisions by damage severity. 9. Out of pocket expense by those involved in motor vehicle collisions Those involved in motor vehicle collisions may incur out-of-pocket expenses: • Not covered by insurance, including the insurance deductible of the at fault party and car rental, hotel or other expenses not covered under the policy. • Not claimed under insurance, possibly as a result of a low dollar value of total claim. • Not insured, for example in the case of an uninsured driver. Based on data from the 1993 General Social Survey of Statistics <strong>Canada</strong>, 52.1% of individuals 15 years of age or older (based on coverage of the survey) involved in motor vehicle collisions on roadways in Ontario incurred out-of-pocket expenses that were not reimbursed by another party. In 1993, the average out-of-pocket expense was $719 ($882 in 2004$). Based on data found in ORSAR for 2004 we estimate 1.3 survivors of collisions 16 years of age and older (a proxy to those 15 and over) per vehicle involved in injury and fatality collisions. We apply this factor to all vehicles involved in collisions and estimate a total out-of-pocket cost for them of $206 million in 2004. 10. Social Costs of Traffic Delays In this section of the report we estimate traffic delays cause by motor vehicle collisions and the resulting impact on: • Time losses. • Fuel use. • Extra pollution TNS Canadian Facts, Social and Policy Research 37
Analysis and Estimation of the Social Cost of Motor Vehicle Collisions in Ontario These three separate components of costs are calculated as described in the following chart. Traffic Delay Time Lost X Value of time $ Lost Time Idling Time Fuel Fuel $ Extra Detour Use X = Cost Fuel Time Environment $ Extra X = Cost Pollution = $ Cost of Delay a) Traffic Delays COMPASS is an Advanced Freeway Traffic Management System developed by the Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) to respond to traffic congestion problems, primarily on Ontario’s divided highways. COMPASS helps increase roadway efficiency and roadway safety by: • Allowing for the prompt detection and removal of freeway incidents and vehicle breakdowns. • Providing accurate and timely freeway incident and delay information to motorists. • Effectively managing peak rush hour traffic flow through a variety of traffic control devices. In this project, we have used data from the Toronto COMPASS system on delays as a critical data input. We have used COMPASS data from the MTO Toronto system (there are two other COMPASS systems in Burlington and Ottawa) covering the major Highway 401 from Highway 410 to Brock Road. These data are then extrapolated to the entire Province on the basis of population data that we assume are related to traffic volumes. For 2004, the major Toronto COMPASS major incidents were reviewed. This was a total of 246 cases. A major incident is defined as involving a fatality or life- 38 TNS Canadian Facts, Social and Policy Research
