Advanced Technologies for Improving Large-Truck Safety on Two-Lane SecondaryRoads

摘要

The study identified the causal factors and predominant types of large-truckcrashes on two-lane secondary roads in Virginia and compared the large-truck crash rates for two-lane secondary roads and two-lane primary roads. The study also identified advanced technologies associated with intelligent transportation systems (ITS) that can be used to minimize the causal factors of large-truck crashes on these roads.
