A Framework to Evaluate Causes and Effect of Truck Driver At-Fault Crashes

项目名称：	A Framework to Evaluate Causes and Effect of Truck Driver At-Fault Crashes
摘要：	In recent years, Oregon has experienced an increase in the number of truck driver at-fault crashes. According to a recent tabulation of large truck crashes, there was a 7.8% increase (684 to 737) in truck driver at-fault crashes and a 10.3% increase (0.39 to 0.43) in the number of truck driver at-fault crashes per million-vehicle-miles-traveled from 2015 to 2016 (Crash Analysis and Reporting Unit, 2017). With this in mind, recent studies have researched the effects of urban/rural crashes, time-of-day, crash type, and roadway classification on large truck injury severities (Khorashadi et al., 2005; Pahukula et al., 2015; Al-Bdairi and Hernandez, 2017; Anderson and Hernandez, 2017a). Furthermore, the effects of roadway classification and ton-miles of freight on large truck crash rate and fatality rate have been examined (Islam and Hernandez, 2015; Anderson and Hernandez, 2017b). Although these studies have shed light on the effects of specific crash conditions, the effect of truck driver at-fault crashes as a result of distraction are much less documented, both in terms of injury severity and crash rate. Therefore, this research will focus on the effect of driver distraction on sustained injury severities and crash rate.
