Unreported minor crashes have importance as a surrogate for more serious crashes that require infrastructure, education, and enforcement strategies; and they still inflict damages. To study factors that influence underreporting, cause, and severity of minor crashes; a survey was performed in Kunming and Beijing to collect self-reported personal characteristics and crash history data of the three major urban road users in China: automobile drivers, bicycle riders and electric bike (e-bike) riders. Underreporting rates of automobile to automobile, automobile to non-motorized vehicle, and non-motorized vehicle to non-motorized vehicle crashes are 56%, 77% and 94%, respectively. Minor crashes with higher reported injury severity levels are more likely to be reported. E-bike riders without a driver's license are more likely to cause crashes. Licensing and education could be an effective way to reduce their crashes. The party that is not at fault in a crash is more likely to sustain high level of injury.
未报告的轻微碰撞事故具有重要意义，可作为更严重碰撞事故的替代指标，而后者需要基础设施、教育和执法策略；并且它们仍然会造成损害。为了研究影响轻微碰撞事故未报告率、原因和严重程度的因素，在昆明和北京进行了一项调查，以收集中国三大城市道路使用者（汽车驾驶员、自行车骑行者和电动自行车骑行者）自我报告的个人特征和碰撞事故历史数据。汽车与汽车、汽车与非机动车、非机动车与非机动车碰撞事故的未报告率分别为56%、77%和94%。报告的伤害严重程度较高的轻微碰撞事故更有可能被报告。未取得驾驶执照的电动自行车骑行者更有可能引发碰撞事故。发放许可证和开展教育可能是减少他们碰撞事故的有效方法。碰撞事故中无过错方更有可能遭受严重伤害。
