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.
