Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GAO conducted a review of small car safety because of concern about the issue and because of disagreement over alleged safety problems. GAO reviewed numerous research studies as well as analyzed accident data gathered from New York, Michigan, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Few conclusions concerning current or future smaller car safety problems have been unanimously agreed upon by the vehicle and highway safety experts and the automobile industry. Major issues concern whether smaller cars are in more accidents, how well they protect occupants during accidents, and the adequacy of roads to safely contain smaller cars. GAO found that many studies concurred with New York and Michigan data indicating that smaller cars were not overrepresented in total vehicle accidents when compared with the numbers of smaller vehicles registered in those states. However, smaller cars were generally overrepresented in single-vehicle accidents with guardrails and, to a lesser degree, median barriers. When smaller cars collided with larger cars, smaller car occupants received from 2 to 4 times more severe and fatal injuries than the larger car occupants, according to NHTSA and New York data. NHTSA and New York data did not agree on the performance of smaller cars in collision with each other. New York data indicated that in single-vehicle accidents, the smaller the car, the more severe the injuries. Michigan and some NHTSA data showed no consistent trend between occupant injury and all classes of car injuries and fatalities in the heaviest cars. New York data indicated that severe and fatal injuries were more prevalent with smaller cars than with larger cars in single-vehicle collisions with utility and light poles.

Book excerpt: Because minicars are less safe in both multivehicle and single vehicle collisions, this FHWA sponsored project is designed to identify those types of accidents (and accident related circumstances) where the small vehicles are over represented in either crashes or crash injuries. The analysis involved accident and roadway data from the States of Washington, Texas and North Carolina, and computer simulation runs related to vehicle dynamics. Results include the general finding of increased rollover propensity of these small vehicles in almost all type crashes, with specific problems with roadside shoulder and sideslope design, ditches in rural areas, pavement edgedrop, culverts and catch basins, median barrier faces, rural traffic islands, utility poles, and with head on collisions on curves where the minicar is more often the striking vehicle. Potential treatments were identified for many of these issues, and research plans were prepared.

This book was released on 1984 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under support from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the National Research Council assembled a committee of 19 individuals with expertise in the various disciplines needed to evaluate the benefits and costs of the 55 mph speed limit and to assess the effectiveness of state laws in inducing compliance. The findings and recommendations of the committee are presented in this report, along with the unresolved issues that surround the appropriate speed limit for selected roads. The committee findings on the consequences of the 55 mph speed limit relate to safety, energy, taxpayer costs, and travel time. Recent trends in motorist compliance and pressures for change are also discussed.
