• Abstract:
  This analysis brief explores differences and similarities among the national crash experience of combination-unit trucks (CUTs), single-unit trucks (SUTs), and "all vehicles" (principally cars and light truck/vans). These CUT vs. SUT vs. all vehicle comparisons are derived from a more comprehensive analysis of the 1989-93 U.S. crash experience of different motor vehicle types. Focusing on a comparison of the national crash experience of CUTs, SUTs, and "all vehicles", this brief assesses the U.S. motor vehicle crash problem from the perspective of different problem size referents for all crashes combined. 4 p.
