This document presents problem size assessments and statistical crash descriptions for intersection crossing path (ICP) crashes. The principal data source is the 1991 General Estimates System (GES). ICP crashes are potential target crashes of various conventional and high-technology Intelligent Vehicle Highway System (IVHS) crash avoidance countermeasures. For example, countermeasure concepts incorporating communication among vehicles, drivers and upcoming intersections (e.g., to inform drivers of a hazardous situation at an intersection through the use of alerting devices or similar technologies) appear to be especially applicable to this crash type. In this report, the ICP crash problem size is assessed using such measures as number of crashes, number and severity of injuries, number of fatalities, crash involvement rate, and crash involvement likelihood.Problem size statistics are provided for five vehicle type categories: all vehicles combined, passenger vehicles (i.e., cars, light trucks, light vans), combination-kit trucks, medium/heavy single-unit trucks, and motorcycles.
