Abstract:

The majority of prior research and analysis points toward driver-related factors as the main cause of most commercial vehicle-related crashes. Preliminary results from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's Large Truck Crash Causation Study reveal that the critical reason for crashes is driver-related in more than 90% of the cases. Therefore, future research must provide a greater concentration on the commercial driver to have the most profound impact on the number of crashes. Previous research efforts have used commercial driver traffic conviction data as a data source to identify poor-performing drivers and the carriers that employ them. The research to date in this area and how future research should examine additional ways to create driver-based indicators by using conviction data and other driver-specific data are presented here. Potential data sources are described. Future research should also determine ways to collect and maintain efficiently and effectively data that tracks a driver's performance. If feasible, these data should be shared not only with enforcement agencies but also with potential employers of the drivers. In addition, ideas for using these data and indicators in future enforcement and carrier safety management programs are explored.
