Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As previously reported using daylight saving time crash analysis, fatal rear-end crashes between passenger vehicles and trucks show a pronounced effect of light level such that crashes involving trucks appear to be nearly nine times more likely in darkness than in light. In this report, we examine whether this effect shows any evidence of being modulated by the age of the striking driver, the travel speed or locale of the roadway, the involvement of alcohol, or by changes in regulations prescribing the use of conspicuity treatments for trucks beginning in 1993. In general, a main effect of striking driver age was found such that younger drivers had a lower dark/light ratio in nighttime fatal rear-end crashes than older drivers. In addition, a main effect of struck vehicle suggested that the dark/light odds of a crash is about four times higher for trucks than for light vehicles. Analyses of locale, posted speed, and alcohol use by the strikingdriver revealed only a mild influence of locale, suggesting that the dark/light odds is 1.5 greater in rural than in urban areas. Finally, the analysis of regulatory changes in conspicuity treatment did not reveal a reliable effect specific to trucks, but did suggest that the dark/light odds of a crash has decreased by about half in recent years for both light vehicles and trucks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Transportation Safety Board examined nighttime accidents in which highway vehicles strike trains that block grade crossings. There is adequate evidence to suggest that this type of accident is strongly influenced by motorists' inability to perceive the presence of trains in crossings because trains lack conspicuity within their environment. This type of accident results each year in approximately 1,800 collisions with 140 persons killed and 800 injured. The Safety Board reviewed pertinent research undertaken by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) on a known countermeasure--reflectorization. The Safety Board issued recommendations to the FRA to develop and issue an advance notice of proposed rulemaking within 6 months for the improvement of nighttime train car and locomotive visibility at grade crossings to aid in preventing accidents in which motor vehicles run into the sides of trains at night. Additionally, the Board recommended that the FRA cooperate with the Federal Highway Administration, the National Committee on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, and the Association of American Railroads to plan and institute a research program on criteria for the use of reflectorization devices and materials.
