摘要：	The Motor Carrier Management Information System (MCMIS) Crash file has been developed by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to serve as a census file of trucks and buses involved in traffic crashes meeting a specific crash severity threshold. Each state is responsible for identifying cases that meet the MCMIS Crash file criteria and reporting the required data through the SafetyNet system. UMTRI has completed a set of evaluations of state reporting and found that reporting rates range from over 80 percent to less than 10. The present report provides an updated model to predict, given a known number of fatal involvements, the number of crash involvements a state should be reporting. Additional observations became available since the previous report. These observations are incorporated and the model re-estimated. In each state, the number of fatal involvements is well-known, so all states will start with a known quantity, the number of fatal truck and bus crash involvements. It is then hypothesized that the ration of reportable crash severities, that is, the ratio of fatal involvements to nonfatal involvements, will apply across all the states. Data from 11 states (representing 13 observations) that provide all the information necessary to identify MCMIS-reportable cases were used.
