摘要：	This report summarizes the results of the work performed under the project Identifying Factors and Mitigation Technologies in Truck Accidents in New Jersey. The goals of the research project were to identify statistically significant factors that contribute to truck accidents in New Jersey and to recommend technologies and strategies holding potential for use as countermeasures for the most prevalent of these factors. These goals of this research compliment the goals of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to reduce the number of truck-related fatalities by 50 percent. The results and findings of this research provide a basis for identifying factors that should be targeted to achieve these goals. It is well known that the roadways in New Jersey have the highest design standards: the New Jersey Turnpike, the Garden State Parkway, the Atlantic City Expressway and the Interstate system also have the lowest accident rates. Recognizing this fact, legislation was passed in 1999, restricting through truck traffic to these higher type facilities. This legislation, however, does not address the large number of trucks that make deliveries to locations within the state or that originate at industries and businesses throughout New Jersey. These trucks must use all roadways in the state to reach their destinations. To better assist the state's transportation agencies, this report provides documentation of truck crash characteristics for the state of New Jersey.
