• 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.
