  • Abstract:
    This report details the results of an analysis that compared the Crash Avoidance ; Research Data Base (CARDfile) with the National Accident Sampling System (NASS). ; CARDfile combines, in one data base, the police accident records for three years ; (1983 through 1985) from Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Texas, and ; Washington. It comtains in excess of 4.0 million accidents that involved 6.5 million ; vehicles. NHTSA's Office of Crash Avoidance (NRD-50) uses CARDfile to evaluate ; crash avoidance concepts and to assist in program development. ; To make the best use of CARDfile, it is important to understand how well the ; accident experience derived from the six CARDfile states compares to other national ; data bases. ; During the first effort in this evaluation, TSC examined the general characteristics ; of the population, the vehicles, the roads, and the fatal accidents in these states and ; compared them to the same characteristics for the whole nation. We found that the ; six states agreed well with the nation (Salvatore, Mengert, Walter, 1987).
