• Abstract:
  This report details the results of an analysis performed to evaluate the ; representativeness of the Crash Avoidance Research accident data base (CARDfile). ; The accident records for 1983 and 1984 from six states (Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, ; Pennsylvania, Texas, and Washington) were combined into one data base that now ; contains 3.2 million accidents that involved 5.6 million vehicles. NHTSA's Office of ; Crash Avoidance (NRD-50) has been using CARDfile to evaluate crash avoidance ; concepts and to assist in program development. In order to make the best use of ; CARDfile, it is important to understand how well the accident experience derived ; from the six CARDfile states represents that of the nation as a whole.
