摘要: |
The number of highway fatalities and heavy truck crashes in the state of Florida remains unacceptably high. The principal objective of the proposed research was to provide an in-depth analysis of the causes of fatal traffic crashes and traffic fatalities so that appropriate actions can be initiated to improve safety on Florida's highways. To determine the actual causes of the crash, it was necessary to obtain more detailed data, including data from Traffic Homicide Investigation (THI) reports, video log and crash scenes photographs, and site visits where necessary. All fatal crashes on state roads in 2000 were investigated, along with those involving heavy trucks in 1999 and 1998. |
