Book Description
The 1980 Crash Facts shows that 1,045 people were killed and 58,036 injured-in the 116,382 motor vehicle crashes that occurred in Virginia during 1980. Crash Facts estimates that these accidents imposed an economic loss of $90,000,000. The death and injury figures are disaggregated in many ways, but two statistics are missing. First, the economic loss is not divided into its component parts. Rigorous analysis requires that the separate components of economic loss be identified and estimated before they are summed into a single estimate. Second, little attempt is made to describe the severity of the crash victims' injuries. An investigation into these injuries would not only improve the cost estimate, it also would help place the traffic safety problem in the human context of pain and suffering rather than the abstract terms of dollars and cents. This report is an attempt to derive the two missing statistics.

Estimates of the Economic and Human Consequences of Motor Vehicle Accidents in Virginia During 1980
Author: Daniel John Regan
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Traffic accidents
Languages : en
Pages : 28
Book Description
The purpose of this report is to describe the cost of motor vehicle accidents in two ways first, by identifying the cost components and quantifying them, and second by showing the severity of such accidents in terms of human suffering. Although many statistics are kept concerning the causes of motor vehicle accidents, few are kept concerning the results. This report identifies techniques for estimating these statistics and points out the problems associated with each method. Alternative, and possibly more accurate, techniques are recommended for study. The report concludes that motor vehicle accidents cost the Commonwealth of Virginia over $800 million in 1980. Further, it shows that crashes are a leading cause of death for all Virginians, particularly for those younger than forty. Finally, it compares motor vehicle injuries with other accidental injuries, and it concludes that those caused by motor vehicles are, in general, significantly more severe.

Evaluation of the 1984 Selective Speed Enforcement Projects in Virginia
Author: Stephen M. Sharkey
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Speed limits
Languages : en
Pages : 174
Book Description
The evaluations reported here focused on the effects of increased enforcement of speed laws on the number of total crashes, injury and fatal crashes, and speed-related crashes. This report is the third in a series prepared in compliance with federal requirements and follows much of the analytic framework established in the two prior evaluation reports. Each of the local projects is described, including problem identification, project goals, proposed enforcement activity, and results achieved.
