This report compares the use of different criteria to distinguish between pedal cyclist hospitalised injury cases occurring in on-road and off-road settings. The Traffic method overestimates on-road cases because a coding rule requires that cases where place of occurrence is unspecified should be coded as occurring ‘in traffic’, while the Place method likely underestimates on-road cases because some cases with unspecified place of occurrence will have occurred on-road. Ways to improve delineation between on-road and off-road cases are proposed.

Findings from this report:
-
Place of occurrence coding rules may adversely affect estimates of hospitalisations for cyclist on-road injuries
-
Hospitalisation estimates for cyclist on-road injuries are overestimates when based on the Traffic model
-
When based on the Place model, hospitalisation estimates for cyclist on-road injuries are underestimates
