Characteristics of Heavy Truck Accidents (original) (raw)

Abstract

The major objective of this Study was to evaluate the effect on accidents of heavy trucks under the traffic condition where vehicles are not only travelling slower in 1975 than in 1970-72 but also where all vehicles are travelling at more nearly the same speed.
