This book was released on 2016-09-12 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are approximately 4,000 fatalities in crashes involving trucks and buses in the United States each year. Though estimates are wide-ranging, possibly 10 to 20 percent of these crashes might have involved fatigued drivers. The stresses associated with their particular jobs (irregular schedules, etc.) and the lifestyle that many truck and bus drivers lead, puts them at substantial risk for insufficient sleep and for developing short- and long-term health problems. Commercial Motor Vehicle Driver Fatigue, Long-Term Health and Highway Safety assesses the state of knowledge about the relationship of such factors as hours of driving, hours on duty, and periods of rest to the fatigue experienced by truck and bus drivers while driving and the implications for the safe operation of their vehicles. This report evaluates the relationship of these factors to drivers' health over the longer term, and identifies improvements in data and research methods that can lead to better understanding in both areas.

This book was released on 2007 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Large Truck Crash Causation Study (LTCCS) is the largest and most ambitious effort to date to collect data on medium and heavy truck crashes. The purpose of the LTCCS is to identify and understand the factors that contribute to truck crashes in order to develop crash countermeasures that will be effective in reducing the number and severity of truck crashes. The University of Michigan’s (UMTRI) Trucks Involved in Fatal Accidents (TIFA) survey covers all medium and heavy trucks involved in a fatal crash. Nominally, all fatal crashes in LTCCS should appear in TIFA. LTCCS fatal crashes were matched to TIFA cases. Then the TIFA cases were re-examined independently, using the police report and any other information available, to attempt to code certain central crash variables in the LTCCS. The purpose was to determine the extent to which the central LTCCS variables could be coded using only the materials available in the TIFA survey.The results were mixed. At the highest level, agreement was quite good. Critical reason category agreed in 90.1 percent of the matched cases for which critical reason could be determined. Critical event category agreed in 86.1 percent of cases. However, there were higher rates of disagreement between LTCCS and TIFA at finer levels of detail and missing data rates were higher in the TIFA review cases. This result is not surprising in light of the much greater resources devoted to each case in the LTCCS project.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Abstract: This report describes pre-crash scenarios involving at least one heavy truck (gross vehicle weight rating greater than 10,000 pounds), which might be addressed with crash-imminent warning systems based on short range vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications. The analysis focuses on 17 target pre-crash scenarios that are statistically described using the 2004-2008 General Estimates System (GES) crash databases and the Large-Truck Crash Causation Study (LTCCS) database. GES data is queried to quantify the societal cost and describe the driving environment, driver characteristics, and crash contributing factors of target pre-crash scenarios. LTCCS data is analyzed to portray crash causal factors. Approximately 233,000 annual police-reported crashes involving at least one heavy truck were associated with the 17 target pre-crash scenarios. These police-reported crashes contributed to about 21 billion dollars in comprehensive economic costs based on 2007 economics and 153,000 functional years lost annually. Heavy-truck drivers of interest accounted for about 57 percent of all drivers involved in these crashes."--Technical report documentation page.

This book was released on 2013-09-14 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Large-Truck Crash Causation Study (LTCCS) is a data collection project conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) of the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT). NHTSA's National Center for Statistics and Analysis (NCSA) worked together with FMCSA to develop the LTCCS, which was conducted within the National Automotive Sampling System (NASS) that NCSA operates. The tables in this report were created through the use of the data collected in the LTCCS. While the LTCCS collected data on approximately 1,000 variables, the tables presented in this report comprise only a sample of these variables. The complete LTCCS variable database can be used jointly to examine a large number of issues surrounding large-truck crashes. One section in the report focuses on “crash-level” variables, which provide counts of crashes that occurred under certain characteristics (i.e., crash counts stratified according to how many vehicles were in the crash). The next section includes tables that are presented at the “vehicle level.” These tables thus provide counts of the number of vehicles involved in certain types of crashes (i.e., vehicle counts that have been stratified by the injury severity of the person most severely injured in each vehicle). The tables in the following section are presented at the “driver level.” These tables display counts of drivers that were involved in certain crash scenarios (i.e., the number of drivers involved in the crashes, stratified by the age of the driver). The appendix includes tables and computer programs for calculating standard errors and confidence intervals using LTCCS data.
