The Not-in-Traffic Surveillance (NiTS) system is a virtual data collection system designed to provide counts and details regarding fatalities and injuries that occur in nontraffic crashes and in noncrash incidents. The NiTS 2007 system provided information about an estimated 1,159 fatalities and 98,000 injuries that occurred in nontraffic crashes on private roads, on driveways and in parking facilities. The NiTS 2007 system also provided information about an annual average of 588 fatalities and 743,000 injuries in noncrash incidents that occurred inside of or otherwise involved a passenger vehicle. This document describes the creation of the nontraffic crash database using police reports and other sources obtained through the Fatality Analysis Reporting System and National Automotive Sampling System data collection infrastructures in 2007. The database contains 19 variables that describe the crash, vehicles, and persons involved in nontraffic crashes. The database also contains an adjustment factor to produce national estimates of the number of injuries and fatalities that occur in nontraffic crashes. This database was used for the Report to Congress, Fatalities and Injuries in Motor Vehicle Backing Crashes.
