Book Description
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.

The analysis focused primarily on combination unit trucks, which encompassed 78% of fatal vehicles included in the study. The clusters developed in this phase of the project will be used by the FaAA engineering team to evaluate those accident sequences with high potentials for safety improvement.

Book Description
Recent trends indicate that vehicle miles traveled for large trucks is increasing at a higher rate than for other vehicles. The resulting competition between large trucks and other vehicles for highway space can be expected to result in more multi-vehicle collisions involving large trucks. The likelihood of these collisions causing severe injuries to vehicle occupants will also increase with the trend towards the use of smaller automobiles and heavier and larger trucks. In order to develop countermeasures that will alleviate this problem, it is first necessary to identify the characteristics of large-truck accidents and the role of traffic and geometric variables in such accidents. This study investigated the major factors associated with large truck accidents including the effect of highway facility type and highway geometry, and the development of mathematical models relating the factors with accident rates and probability of occurrence. This first volume documents the methodology of the study, the results of a statistical analysis of large-trucks historical accident data, the results of a fault tree analysis. This second volume gives a detailed description of the development of the regression and logistic models.
