ACCIDENTS BY TRUCK

Hi,
I am back again with some new rags of the truck accidents.lets proceed

We group freeway truck accidents by ramp
type, accident type, and by four conflict areas of
each merge or diverge ramp. We then compare
these groups on the basis of truck accidents per
location and per truck-mile of travel. We found
that truck accident frequencies and rates were not
significantly different by ramp type alone, but were
significantly different by conflict area and accident
type, both between and within ramp types. We also
found that high volume ramps had lower rates of
truck accidents per truck-mile of travel. Thus, a
ramp’s safety risk is related to accident type and
conflict area, but not directly to truck volumes,
which affects assessments of high-risk locations.
Specifically, a ramp with few accidents but a high
proportion of rollovers in the merge area may have
a deficiency,
