Crash Cost Estimates by Maximum Police-Reported Injury Severity Within Selected Crash Geometries
Publication No. FHWA-HRT-05-051 This paper presents estimates for the economic (human capital) and comprehensive costs per crash for six KABCO groupings within 22 selected crash types and within two-speed limit categories (= 50 mi/h)). The comprehensive costs include nonmonetary losses. To produce these cost estimates, previously developed costs per victim keyed on the AIS injury […]

Highway Safety Information System: An Examination of Fault, Unsafe Driving Acts, and Total Harm in Car-Truck Collisions
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has given high priority to research regarding collisions between large trucks (gross vehicle weight > 4,540 kilograms (10,000 pounds)) and other vehicles on the roadway. This research aims to improve knowledge about the high-risk behaviors of truck and passenger vehicle (car) drivers.

National Work Zone Safety Information Clearinghouse
The issue of work zone safety cannot be properly addressed without attempting to understand fully the problems associated with work zones. The purpose of this research project was to investigate the current status of work zone safety in Alabama and other states and to recommend possible safety-enhancement measures. A database of crash report information was […]
