• Abstract:
  The need for multivariate accident involvement rates is often encounted in
  
  accident analysis. The FARS (Fatal Accident Reporting System) files contain
  
  records of fatal involvements characterized by many variables while NPTS
  
  (National Personal Transportation Survey) contains reports of trip records
  
  similary characterized by many variables. When the dassificatory variables
  
  available in both data bases are examined the following are indent!fled as of the
  
  most interest in accident analysis:
  
  Driver Age
  
  Driver Sex
  
  Vehicle Weight
  
  Vehicle Age
  
  Land Use (urban/rural)
  
  Season (winter/summer)
  
  Time of Day
  
  Number of Occupants
  
  The fatal involvement data (from FARS) and the VMT data (from NPTS) were
  
  separately classified by these variables (each limited to two or three levels).
  
  Missing data was accounted for. Missing weight data was estimated, where
  
  possible, based on make, model, and/or other vehicle characteristics.
