Accident Classification System (GDV)<br />
5.1 Accident types<br />
Type 1: Driving <strong>accident</strong><br />
The <strong>accident</strong> occurred due to loss <strong>of</strong> control over the vehicle (because <strong>of</strong> not adapted speed or erroneous evaluation <strong>of</strong> the<br />
run <strong>of</strong> the road or the road condition or similar), without the involvement <strong>of</strong> other road users. But as a result <strong>of</strong> uncontrolled<br />
vehicle movement this could have led to a crash with another road user.<br />
Type 2: Turning <strong>of</strong>f <strong>accident</strong><br />
The <strong>accident</strong> occurred due to a conflict between a turning <strong>of</strong>f road user <strong>and</strong> a road user coming from the same direction or the<br />
opposite direction (pedestrians included!) at crossings, junctions, access to properties or parking lots.<br />
Type 3: Turning in / crossing <strong>accident</strong><br />
The <strong>accident</strong> occurred due to a conflict between a turning in or crossing road user without priority <strong>and</strong> a vehicle with priority at<br />
crossings, junctions, access to properties or parking lots.<br />
Type 4: Pedestrian <strong>accident</strong><br />
The <strong>accident</strong> occurred due to a conflict between a vehicle <strong>and</strong> a pedestrian on the road unless he was walking in lateral<br />
direction <strong>and</strong> unless the vehicle was turning in. This is also applicable if the pedestrian was not hit.<br />
Type 5: Accident with parking vehicles<br />
The <strong>accident</strong> occurred due to a conflict between a moving vehicle <strong>and</strong> a vehicle which is parking, has stopped or is<br />
manoeuvring to park or stop.<br />
Type 6: Accident in lateral traffic<br />
The <strong>accident</strong> occurred due to a conflict between road users moving in the same or in the opposite direction unless this conflict<br />
applies to another type <strong>of</strong> <strong>accident</strong><br />
Type 7: Other <strong>accident</strong> type<br />
Accident that cannot be assigned to the types 1 – 6. Examples: Turning around, backing up, two parking vehicles, objects or<br />
animals on the road, sudden vehicle damage<br />
