Monograph

This issue contains nine papers on truck and bus safety, as well as roundabouts. Specific topics addressed in this issue include New England roundabouts; roundabout accident prediction models; metering signals at roundabouts; rear-collisions at roundabout approaches; and rollover propensity of heavy vehicles at roundabouts. Other topics addressed in this issue include driver gender and injury severity in large truck crashes; roadway geometric design and frequency of truck-related crashes; sensitivity of lane position and steering angle measurements to driver fatigue; and traffic safety education for bus drivers.
