Summary:

This paper presents the results from an analysis of off-roadway crashes involving commercial vehicles (large trucks medium and heavy trucks) in support of the roadway departure research area, part of the United States (US) Department of Transportation's Intelligent Vehicle Initiative. This analysis deals with off-roadway crashes in which the first harmful event occurs off the roadway after a vehicle in transport departs the travel road due to loss of control or crossing the edge of the roadway. Approximately 136,000 such crashes were reported in the US over a 3-year period based on the 19961998 National Automotive Sampling System/General Estimates System crash databases
