| 摘要： | Rollovers are among the most serious crashes of cargo tank motor vehicles carrying hazardous materials. They are more likely to be fatal to the driver of the vehicle than other crashes, and they can cause spills and necessitate highway closures. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has identified the need to study cargo tanks, from design through operation, to improve their roll stability. The objective of this program was to evaluate four complementary approaches to reducing the incidence of cargo tank truck rollovers: improving the training of drivers, deploying electronic stability aids, implementing new vehicle designs, and learning lessons from highway designs. The benefits, in terms of reduced numbers of rollover crashes, that could accrue from each approach, have been estimated, along with the costs of achieving those benefits. All four approaches are expected to be cost beneficial. This report presents the results of a research program that has identified specific improvements to be made within each of the four broad areas and evaluated their potential economic benefits to society. The four approaches are discussed separately, and their economic benefits are evaluated side by side. / Supplementary Notes: Sponsored by Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, Washington, DC. / Availability Note: Product reproduced from digital image.
