The study describes in mathematical terms a procedure employed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of the Department of Transportation for the analysis of two-vehicle accidents. The procedure contains an assignment rule in which one of the involved driver-vehicle combinations is assigned to the class of active involvement and the other driver-vehicle combination is assigned to the class of passive involvement. One case of interest is the random assignment rule, and this is contrasted with the results of a fixed assignment rule. Results are derived that show the effect on specific indices of (1) errors in assignment and (2) a composite assignment rule (a mixture of fixed and random rules).
