Title: DATA FROM TRB-PROPOSED NATIONAL MONITORING SYSTEM AND PROCEDURES FOR ANALYSIS OF TRUCK ACCIDENT RATES
Accession Number: 00622180
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: To follow trends of truck accident involvement rates requires reliable information on truck accidents and travel. Procedures for estimating truck accident involvement rates and their confidence limits on the basis of variabilities inherent in the sample design of the TRB-proposed National Monitoring System (NMS) are presented. Formulas for computing confidence limits of national and state truck accident involvement rates per mile of travel are given for any level of disaggregation. The quality of truck accident and travel data that may be expected from implementing the NMS, together with consistent estimation of confidence limits of accident involvement rates, would represent significant improvement over truck safety statistics available from existing data programs.
