Abstract:

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration sponsored six studies to better understand how and why crashes occur on the Capital Beltway. This Traffic Tech describes one of these studies. Preusser Research Group, Inc., of Trumbull, Connecticut examined the patterns of crashes during a two-year period - 1993 and 1994. They looked beyond the physical characteristics of crashes to categorize driver behavioral errors that so often cause crashes. For these two years, three types of crashes accounted for 78% of all Beltway crashes: stop-slowing rear-end collisions (36%); ran off road (23%); and sideswipe-cutoff (18%).
