Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This synthesis will be of interest to highway department administrators, accident records personnel, information systems and data processing management personnel, highway traffic and safety engineers, drivers' licensing officials, state and local police, as well as federal agencies, industries, traffic safety associations, and others responsible for the collection, analysis, and use of accident data. Information is provided on national accident data banks in addition to state and local practice associated with accident data collection, analysis, and evaluation. This synthesis describes current practice with respect to the characteristics and importance of accident data quality, including the reporting and data collection procedures, the analysis and quality control measures employed, and the communications systems used. This report of the Transportation Research Board discusses accident records systems, including data sources and users, considers the effects of inadequate data on analyses, and reviews data acquisition and processing programs that have had good results in the states using them. Recommendations for improving operating systems and for additional research are included.

Book excerpt: The objectives of this project were to examine the costs and quality of safety data and to identify improvement strategies. The project's scope was narrowed to three key sources: the crash report, roadway inventories, and medical records. The primary focus was on crash reporting. Within the medical source, the focus was upon data regarding driver condition prior to crash, and injury severity, since these are of high interest to the highway community. Since the same piece of data will have a different quality for different users and uses, it was necessary to identify the variety of users and uses of highway safety data. This executive summary presents an overview of the research results. The complete results are available in the research report (FHWA-RD-96-191) and the final report (FHWA-RD-96-192).

This book was released on 1999-01-04 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Injuries are the leading cause of death and disability among people under age 35 in the United States. Despite great strides in injury prevention over the decades, injuries result in 150,000 deaths, 2.6 million hospitalizations, and 36 million visits to the emergency room each year. Reducing the Burden of Injury describes the cost and magnitude of the injury problem in America and looks critically at the current response by the public and private sectors, including: Data and surveillance needs. Research priorities. Trauma care systems development. Infrastructure support, including training for injury professionals. Firearm safety. Coordination among federal agencies. The authors define the field of injury and establish boundaries for the field regarding intentional injuries. This book highlights the crosscutting nature of the injury field, identifies opportunities to leverage resources and expertise of the numerous parties involved, and discusses issues regarding leadership at the federal level.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The existing truck accident and travel data are not adequate for determining the trends in truck safety or for guiding actions that could reduce accident losses. Therefore the Transportation Research Board, with support from the Federal Highway Administration, the Motor Vehicle Manufacturers Association, the Highway Users Federation, and the Trucking Research Institute of the American Trucking Associations, undertook this study to recommend improvements in the data systems used to monitor truck safety and to develop programs to reduce accident losses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an increasingly globalised world, despite reductions in costs and time, transportation has become even more important as a facilitator of economic and human interaction; this is reflected in technical advances in transportation systems, increasing interest in how transportation interacts with society and the need to provide novel approaches to understanding its impacts. This has become particularly acute with the impact that Covid-19 has had on transportation across the world, at local, national and international levels. Encyclopedia of Transportation, Seven Volume Set - containing almost 600 articles - brings a cross-cutting and integrated approach to all aspects of transportation from a variety of interdisciplinary fields including engineering, operations research, economics, geography and sociology in order to understand the changes taking place. Emphasising the interaction between these different aspects of research, it offers new solutions to modern-day problems related to transportation. Each of its nine sections is based around familiar themes, but brings together the views of experts from different disciplinary perspectives. Each section is edited by a subject expert who has commissioned articles from a range of authors representing different disciplines, different parts of the world and different social perspectives. The nine sections are structured around the following themes: Transport Modes; Freight Transport and Logistics; Transport Safety and Security; Transport Economics; Traffic Management; Transport Modelling and Data Management; Transport Policy and Planning; Transport Psychology; Sustainability and Health Issues in Transportation. Some articles provide a technical introduction to a topic whilst others provide a bridge between topics or a more future-oriented view of new research areas or challenges. The end result is a reference work that offers researchers and practitioners new approaches, new ways of thinking and novel solutions to problems. All-encompassing and expertly authored, this outstanding reference work will be essential reading for all students and researchers interested in transportation and its global impact in what is a very uncertain world. Provides a forward looking and integrated approach to transportation Updated with future technological impacts, such as self-driving vehicles, cyber-physical systems and big data analytics Includes comprehensive coverage Presents a worldwide approach, including sets of comparative studies and applications
