Book excerpt: This study investigates the fatalities on the National Crash Severity Study (NCSS) of towaway, passenger car accidents. The analysis is in three stages. First, NCSS fatalities are compared to the fatally-injured occupants reported on the Fatal Accident Reporting System (FARS), as a tool for evaluating the representativeness of the NCSS data. Second, estimates of the probability of fatality for NCSS are computed for various conditions, such as the incidence of fire and the sex of the occupant. Third, in cases where two factors are highly correlated, such as is the case for rollover and ejection, modeling techniques are used to help quantify the effects of each variable. The results of this study suggest the following preliminary conclusions: (1) FARS and NCSS have similar distributions of many variables. These include urbanization, size of vehicles, type damage to vehicle, occupant seating location, sex, and restraint use. Differences resulting from the investigative methods and geographical areas of the two studies are identified and assessed. (2) On the NCSS file, many variables are associated with a much higher rate of fatality. These include (a) at the accident level: the number of vehicles involved, urbanization, and the incidence of fire or explosion; (b) at the vehicle level: the change of velocity at impact, the direction of the impacting force, and vehicle damage area; and (c) at the occupant level: seating position, age, sex, ejection, entrapment, and restraint use. (3) Rollover and ejection, which often occur together, are each independently associated with a higher rate of fatality. Of the two factors, ejection appears more related to a higher probability of fatality than does rollover alone. NCSS is the best currently-available source of accident data for analyzing injury-related factors. This report attempts to describe the accidents occurring in the NCSS sampling areas, and suggest ideas for further research.

Download or read book A STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF MOTOR VEHICLE FATALITIES IN THE UNITED STATES written by James D. Munyon and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2015, 35,092 people died in motor vehicle crashes in the United States. This was a 7.2% increase over 2014 and represented the first year-to-year fatality increase after several years of decline. In response to this, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) published their Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) motor vehicle fatal crash census data three months early, and tasked students and researchers to dig into the data. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate (1) which FARS variables are associated with higher fatality risk for the 80,587 individuals who were involved in the 2015 fatal crashes, and (2) which ones are associated with those fatal crashes that involved more than one fatality (92.69% of the 32,166 fatal accidents just resulted in one death, but the other 7.31% had two or more fatalities, so this later group of accidents is particularly interesting). The individuals will be split up into four groups: drivers of motor vehicles, other occupants of motor vehicles, pedestrians, and pedalcyclists (individuals riding bicycles at the time of an accident). Analysis methods will involve logistic regressions for each of the four person groups, with survivor/fatality status as the response, and multinomial logistic regression and Poisson regression for the accidents, with fatality count as the response. Decision tree models will also be fit in tandem and will represent an alternative modeling strategy. Models will be compared with one another in terms of number of variables used, shared variables, as well as various measures of predictive ability.We find that factors such as alcohol use, number of people involved in the crash, and certain crash-specific details (some first harmful events of the crash and manners (type) of collision in the crash) are associated with increased fatality risk for individuals and increased fatality counts in accidents. We review the main findings that held across most of the models, make policy recommendations for NHTSA and the US DOT, and discuss future work that could make analysis of FARS data more sophisticated and complete.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this third edition of Vehicle Accident Analysis & Reconstruction Methods, Raymond M. Brach and R. Matthew Brach have expanded and updated their essential work for professionals in the field of accident reconstruction. Most accidents can be reconstructed effectively using of calculations and investigative and experimental data: the authors present the latest scientific, engineering, and mathematical reconstruction methods, providing a firm scientific foundation for practitioners. Accidents that cannot be reconstructed using the methods in this book are rare. In recent decades, the field of crash reconstruction has been transformed through the use of technology. The advent of event data records (EDRs) on vehicles signaled the era of modern crash reconstruction, which utilizes the same physical evidence that was previously available as well as electronic data that are measured/captured before, during, and after the collision. There is increased demand for more professional and accurate reconstruction as more crash data is available from vehicle sensors. The third edition of this essential work includes a new chapter on the use of EDRs as well as examples using EDR data in accident reconstruction. Early chapters feature foundational material that is necessary for the understanding of vehicle collisions and vehicle motion; later chapters present applications of the methods and include example reconstructions. As a result, Vehicle Accident Analysis & Reconstruction Methods remains the definitive resource in accident reconstruction.
