Identify and explain the system for identifying levels of crash severity as used in the Highway Safety Manual.
What will be an ideal response?
Crash severity is the level of injury or property damage that is incurred as
a result of a crash, where injury is defined as bodily harm to a person. There are
several different methods to rank severity. However, the HSM uses the KABCO
scale. There are five levels in this scale and are given as:
K – Fatal Injury: an injury that results in death
A – Incapacitating Injury: An injury that does not result in death, but
causes the injured to be incapable of walking, or driving or continue to perform in
activities that he/she could before the occurrence of the injury.
B – Non-incapacitating evident injury: An injury that is neither a fatal or
an incapacitating injury that is visible to observers at the site at which the crash
occurred.
C – Possible injury: Any injury that is neither incapacitating nor a nonincapacitating
evident, including a claim of injury that is not evident.
O – No injury, i.e. Property Damage Only (PDO)
