Book excerpt: This special investigation report looks at one of the most serious types of highway accidents—collisions involving vehicles traveling the wrong way on high-speed divided highways. The goal of this investigative project is to identify relevant safety recommendations to prevent wrong-way collisions on such highways and access ramps. The investigations included in the report take a focused view of the driver and highway issues affecting wrong-way collisions. The report addresses the following safety issues concerning wrong-way driving: driver impairment, primarily from alcohol use, with consideration of older driver issues and possible drug involvement; the need to establish, through traffic control devices and highway design, distinctly different views for motorists approaching entrance and exit ramps; monitoring and intervention programs for wrong-way collisions; and in-vehicle driver support systems.

Download or read book Pedal Misapplication in Heavy Vehicles written by National Transportation Safety Board and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-02-19 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In May 2005, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) began its investigation of a school bus accident that occurred in Liberty, Missouri. During the course of the investigation, information was uncovered that suggested pedal misapplication as a factor in the accident—that is, depressing the accelerator instead of, or in addition to, the brake pedal. The NTSB subsequently investigated four additional accidents—in Falls Township and Newtown, Pennsylvania; Asbury Park, New Jersey; and Nanuet, New York—involving heavy vehicles in which pedal misapplication was determined to be a factor. Despite varying circumstances, these five accidents share common elements. In all five, the drivers either reported a loss of braking or were observed by vehicle occupants to be unsuccessfully attempting to stop the vehicles, though no evidence of braking system failure was found.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1999 and 2000, the National Transportation Safety Board investigated nine rear-end collisions in which 20 people died and 181 were injured. Common to all nine accidents was the rear following vehicle driver's degraded perception of traffic conditions ahead. As the Safety Board reported in 1995 and further discussed at its 1999 public hearing, existing technology in the form of intelligent Transportation Systems can prevent rear-end collisions. In the nine accidents investigated by the Board, one (and sometimes more) of the available technologies would have helped alert drivers to the vehicles ahead, so that they could slow their vehicles, and would have prevented or mitigated the circumstances of the collisions. The major issue addressed in this Safety Board special investigation report is the prevention of rear-end collisions through the use of Intelligent transportation systems. This report also discusses some of the challenges, including implementation, consumer acceptance, public perception, and training, associated with the deployment of vehicle-and infrastructure-based collision warning systems. As a result of its investigation, the Safety Board issues recommendations to the U.S. Department of Transportation; the Federal Highway Administration; the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration; truck, motorcoach, and automobile manufacturers; the Intelligent Transportation Society of America; the American Trucking Associations, Inc.; the Owner-Operator Independent Driver Association; and the National Private Truck Council.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Transportation Safety Board has investigated many accidents in which persons were killed following the release of hazardous materials from vehicles involved in the accidents. For example, 16 persons died following the rupture of a liquefied petroleum gas tank-semitrailer in a 1975 highway accident near Eagle Pass, Texas. In Youngstown, Florida, eight persons died following the puncture of a rail tank car carrying chlorine during an accident in 1978. In Houston, Texas, five persons were killed and 178 persons were injured by the release of anhydrous ammonia following the crash of a tank-semitrailer in a 1976 highway accident. The Safety Board has previously reported the causes of these accidents. However, the extent of the casualties in these and other accidents following the release of hazardous materials far exceeded the initial crash losses. Improving survivability in such accidents would contribute significantly to reduced hazardous materials transportation risks. Using the 1976 Houston accident as an example, the Safety Board investigated survival actions by the victims to determine what actions they took, why they were taken, and what effects these actions had on the victims' survival. These actions were then analyzed to determine the effectiveness of the U.S. Department of Transportation-mandated safeguards in reducing casualties in hazardous materials accidents.
