Abstract:

The four papers in this volume describe analyses of car size trends and truck occupant injuries and fatalities. All four were written between June 1985 and December 1987. The topics addressed include where heavy truck accidents occur, injury and fatality outcomes for heavy truck occupants, car size trends, and the effect of car size on the frequency of rear-impact fatalities. The principal accident data sources are the Fatal Accident Reporting System (FARS) and the National Accident Sampling System (NASS). A brief description of each paper is given in the Foreword.
