This book was released on 1979 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Transportation Safety Board reviewed the NASS program and prepared a report of findings titled, "Safety Effectiveness Evaluation of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's National Accident Sampling System," NTSB Report No. NTSB-SEE-78-1, dated March 2, 1978. In this document the NTSB reported: 1. Nationally representative highway accident data are needed. 2. If attained, the publicly stated objectives of NASS will provide valuable information to the nation's highway safety program. 3. The NASS plan for the near future emphasizes motor vehicle crashworthiness and primarily supports NHTSA's mission. 4. The NASS program alone will provide limited capability for evaluating many countermeasures. 5. The implementation of NASS has proceeded beyond the level of planning. 6. Through improved planning and broader perspective NASS could become an important part of the national highway safety program.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Considerable effort has been expended particularly over the previous decade in the area of examining pre-crash factors in an attempt at developing appropriate highway safety countermeasures. This report summarizes the review of this field by a select panel of highway safety researchers and includes recommendations for NHTSA-sponsored research in accident causation over the next several years. After attempting to clarify the significance of the “cause” of an accident, the report outlines various approaches to accident causation research and indicates the relevant data needs. The extent and type of exposure information required is addressed. A detailed critique of the major research efforts in this field is provided. This critique centers mainly on the work done by Indiana University, Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory, Inc., Operations Research, Inc., and the University of Miami. Finally, short and long-range recommendations for NHTSA-sponsored research are presented. These include in general utilizing the NASS system to the fullest extent possible. Several specific studies recommended include: examination of data needs; survey of the possible existence of this required data; exploration of various alternative approaches to data collection (e.g. simulation); establishing appropriate quantifiers (e.g., what defines “following too closely”); determining exposure requirements; upgrading the statistical techniques utilized in this field; ascertaining the effectiveness of various countermeasures; and examining alternative information retrieval systems. In addition, several small open-ended research contracts for just plain “thinking about” accident causation methodology were recommended.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The existing truck accident and travel data are not adequate for determining the trends in truck safety or for guiding actions that could reduce accident losses. Therefore the Transportation Research Board, with support from the Federal Highway Administration, the Motor Vehicle Manufacturers Association, the Highway Users Federation, and the Trucking Research Institute of the American Trucking Associations, undertook this study to recommend improvements in the data systems used to monitor truck safety and to develop programs to reduce accident losses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Congress has charged the Department of Transportation with the task of achieving a reduction in traffic accidents and their resulting deaths and injuries. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is the Departmental agency which formulates and administers safety programs designed to meet these goals. To evaluate existing and proposed highway safety and motor vehicle safety standards, identify problem areas, establish better safety systems and generate improved standards and remedial measures, a strong analytical foundation is required. The National Center for Statistics and Analysis (NCSA) was established to develop a comprehensive, reliable and timely data collection program and provide the necessary foundation to support NHTSA's highway safety activities. The Center is responsible for all activities related to accident statistics from experimental design through data collection, storage, analysis and dissemination.

Download or read book Commercial Motor Vehicle Driver Fatigue Long Term Health and Highway Safety written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. 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.
