摘要：	This report presents the results of the second phase of the Hazardous Materials Serious Crash Analysis, a project sponsored by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). A crash is defined as serious if it results in one of the following: a fatality, an injury requiring transport to a facility for immediate medical attention, or at least one vehicle towed from the scene as a result of disabling crash damages. This project has three basic purposes: (1) Enhance the current methodology for identifying and characterizing serious hazardous material (HM) truck crashes in the United States; (2) Improve the capability to analyze causes and effects of selected serious hazardous materials crashes; (3) Support the implementation of hazardous materials truck transportation safety and risk reduction strategies for packages, vehicles, and drivers. The first phase of this project consisted of a pilot test to evaluate the feasibility of enhancing the current approach for serious HM truck crash identification, data collection, and analysis. In the second phase, the phase one tools and techniques were applied to roughly half the crashes reported in MCMIS for the calendar year 2002, with the goal of showing how the enhanced data (i.e., the HAZMAT Accidents Database) might be used to improve truck transport safety. / Supplementary Notes: Sponsored by Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, Washington, DC. / Availability Note: Order this product from NTIS by: phone at 1-800-553-NTIS (U.S. customers); (703)605-6000 (other countries); fax at (703)605-6900; and email at orders@ntis.gov.
