16. Abstract

This report provides one-way frequencies for all the vehicles in UMTRI1s file of Trucks Involved in Fatal Accidents, 1994. The TIFA database p.rovides coverage of all medium and heavy trucks recorded in the Fatal Aclzident Reporting System (FARS) file . TIFA combines vehicle, accident, and occupant records from FARS with information about the physical configuration and operating authority of the truck from the TIFA survey. Some sampling was done in selecting cases for the file. Half the cases where the FARS body type and vehicle trailering variables indicated the vehicle was a straight truck or a tractor were taken. All other FARS cases were taken with certainty.

Acknowleduments The,data documented in this report are the product of the d.edicated efforts of many people. The project originated under the d.irection of James 08Day. Ken Campbell and Oliver Carsten developed the TIFA survey. Raymond Masters, Kathleen Sullivan, Shirley Heydlauff, Cecil Lockard, Robert Pichler, Christine Schmidt, aind many interviewers and editors made the accuracy of the data a matter of personal pride. The project would not have been possible without the willing cooperation of thousands of truck owners, operators, and police officers across the country. The TIFA Survey is conducted by the Center for National Truck Statistics at the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute with support from Freightliner Corporation and the American Trucking Associations, Inc. The preparation of the data file and codebook were supported by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's National Center for Statistacs and Analysis, the Federal Highway Administration's Off ice of Motor Carriers, and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics.

INTRODUCTION Overview This report documents the May 6, 1996, version of the Trucks Involved in Fatal Accidents, 1994, dataset. The report su.mmarizes all the information in the computerized data file. That file contains a random sample of straight trucks with no trailers and tractor-semitrailers (as recorded in FARS) and all the remaining medium and heavy trucks that were involved in a fatal accident in all 50 of the United States during calendar year 1994. Trucks with a gross vehicle weight rating of 10,000 pounds or less, primarily pickups, are excluded as nonsample. All the vehicles described are from Version ARF003 (September, 1995) of the Fatal Accident Reporting System (FARS) file for 1994 accidents, developed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The sampling procedure for the 1994 TIFA file was straightforward. The goal of sampling was to limit the number of interview cases, while preserving the accuracy and comprehensiveness of the TIFA file. Accordingly, after the nonsample vehicles were removed from the file, sampling was done on cases that the FARS configuration variables showed to be either a straight truck with no trailer or a tractor pulling a semitrailer. Those two truck configurations are the two most common as well as the two most likely to be identified accurately in FARS. The Body Type and Vehicle Trailering variables in FARS were used to identify the trucks for sampling. After sorting to ensure even coverage across the accident year, an interval selection procedure was employed within each accident state to select every other case. The cases thus sampled are included in the file with a sample weight of two. The remaining cases in TIFA include every case that, from the FARS codings, did not appear to be a straight truck with no trailer or a tractorsemitrailer. These cases have a weight of one. Sample weights are recorded in variable 1076. The codebook presents both weighted and unweighted frequencies. The column headed "N" shows unweighted counts for the variables. These are counts of the actual number of cases in the file. The second frequency column headed "WGHT" shows weighted frequencies. The weighted frequencies represent a best estimate of the true number of cases in the population, and are the correct ones to use for any descriptive or analytical purposes. Missing data rates for TIFA survey variables are low. The range of missing data values is illustrated by the following examples. Power unit type (Variable 1007) could not be determined for only 63 (2.2%) of the 2,824 cases. Vehicle configuration (Variable 1048) is

Page 2 TRUCKS INVOLVED IN FATAL ACCIDENTS, 1994

Introduction

unknown for 63 (2.2%) cases. Gross vehicle weight rating (Variable 1050) could not be determined for 231 (8.2%) cases, and gross vehicle weight (Variable 1052) is unknown for 351 (12.4%) cases. The 1994 FARS file did not change substantially from the previous year. The 1994 T.IFA survey used the revised form created for the 1991 data year. The revisions included adding alpha variables to record the actual cargo, truck model, truck configuration, and cargo body style; adding new levels to the variables for cargo type and cargo body style; and adding variables to record lift axles on each unit in the combination. 'Because of the changes in the TIFA survey form, the 1994 file offers even more detail on the physical configuration of the trucks involved in fatal accidents than earlier years (1980-1990). In addition, two new variables were added: Variable 1059, "accident type," which follows the GES accident type diagrams; and Variable 1065, "fax/mail,"which shows how information was provided by the respondent. As a consequence, however, the variable numbers and code values in the 1994 TIFA file, are not fully consistent with the files for 1980 through 1990. ~ccordingly,TIFA codebooks for 1980-1990 should not be used as a key to the 1994 TIFA dataset. Mississippi did not send any police reports. There were 87 FARS cases for Mississippi. The Mississippi cases are included in the file, but with all the interview variables left unknown. There were also four missing police reports from Maryland and one from New Jersey. For these cases, as well as the Mississippi cases, Interview (Variable 1063) has been coded "noH ( 2 ) , and Police Report (Variable 1064) has been coded "no" (2). In addition, the State of Iowa did not send police reports. However, they did send a list of the names and addresses of the owners and drivers of involved trucks. This information was used to contact those owners and drivers for interviews. The dataset .includes virtually all the variables from the public version of the FARS file: the accident variables, the vehicle variables (for the truck), and the occupant variables (for the driver of the truck). A few cases had no occupant record because the vehicle was not occupied at the time of the accident. These cases have been padded with the appropriate missing data codes. All variables are at the vehicle level; i .e., there is one record for each truck involved. In addition to the variables from FARS (Variables 1 through 342), there is a set of variables (numbers 1001 through 1075) that contains the information from the TIFA survey form. The bulk of this information is produced by telephone interviews with the driver, owner, or some other involved party. Some of this information is transcribed from police reports collected from the states. While the FARS file includes much information on the accident environment and events, the information on the vehicles involved, particularly trucks, is limited. Details about the physical

Introduction


configuration of the trucks involved are supplied by the TIFA survey form. The survey form is reproduced in the Appendix following the codebook. The TIFA survey produces a detailed physical description of the truck. These data include the cab style of the power unit; the weights, lengths, and axle counts of all units; trailer type, cargo body style, cargo type, and cargo weight; and the company type and operating authority of the operator of the vehicle. The combination of the FARS accident level variables with the physical detail of the TIFA survey produces the most detailed account of fatal truck accidents available. Sources of Information The first step in the acquisition of the data to supplement FARS was to obtain from the states copies of the police reports on all the fatal accidents involving at least one truck. While the format of these reports varies considerably from state to state, they all include the identities of the owner and the driver of the vehicles involved, and a description, sometimes very brief, of what occurred. These police reports were subsequently used in identifying the appropriate respondent to contact, and in checking responses for accuracy. As mentioned earlier, Mississippi and Iowa did not provide police accident reports for 1994. Information was collected primarily by telephone interview. The person or company contacted was, when possible, the owner of the vehicle as listed in the police report. If no contact could be made with the owner, then an attempt was made to reach the driver. If neither the owner nor the driver could be reached, as much . information as possible was collected from other parties, such as the police officer who investigated the accident or the tow truck operator if the vehicle was .towed from the scene. Finally, if no knowledgeable respondent could be found, as much information as possible was coded from the police report. For these cases Variable 1063, which documents whether or not an interview was conducted, would be coded "no," and Variable 1064, police report, would be coded "yes." -Each completed interview is carefully checked by an editor. All modifications to the survey responses received from an interview are indicated in Variables 1066 through 1075. Also indicated there are imputations made by the editors to fill in missing data elements. The numbers coded in these variables are the question numbers on the interview form (see Appendix) . Thus a "20" in Variable 1068 indicates that the third item corrected or derived for that particular case was the response to question 20 on the interview form. There is no particular pattern to the order in which such modifications are indicated. Derivations were made when the editor was able to deduce a piece of information to fill in something missing on the interview form. For example, an empty weight might have been estimated for a tractor by decoding the VIN to identify the model, consulting the manufacturer's specifications for the cab and chassis weight, and then adding the appropriate amount for any added equipment.


Introduction

Number of Cases Version ARE003 of the 1994 FARS file has 4,998 vehicles (excluding fire trucks) involved in fatal accidents in the United States, with a Body Type code of 60-64, 66-72, 78, 79 and 99 (with a VIN Truck Weight code of 3 through 8). However, some of the selected vehicles were subsequently found to be light rather than medium or heavy trucks. In particular, a number of vehicles coded by FARS as straight trucks with a GVWR greater than 10,001 and less than 19,500 pounds turned out to be pickups with a GVWR under 10,000. Also designated nonsample were those vehicles that did not conform to the prerequisites for inclusion in FARS. These were vehicles parked off the roadway (e.g., on the shoulder) or legally parked at the side of the road. Altogether 190 cases were determined to be nonsample. In some instances this determination was made after sampling and these vehicles had valid sample weights. When the sample weights are applied, the weighted total of nonsample vehicles is 203. Subtracting those 203 from the FARS file total of 4,998 cases leaves 4,795, which is the number of trucks involved in fatal accidents in 1994. Accordingly, the column headed "WGHT" sums to 4,795. The obvious (by Vehicle Identification Number) nonsample vehicles were deleted from the file and the sampling procedure described above was followed. The sampling procedure selected 2,824 cases, either with certainty and a sample weight of one (if not a tractorsemitrailer or a straight truck with no trailers), or sampled with a weight of two. Variable 1076 records the sample weight. In 1994, 141 nonsample vehicles were identified by VIN. Another 49 were subsequently identified during the interview process. The total number of nonsample vehicles is 190. The Effect of Sam~linaon Accuracv The limited sampling done has only a modest effect on the accuracy of the estimates derived from the file. Standard errors and confidence intervals were calculated, taking into account that the file is a stratified random sample-. The 95% confidence intervals for population proportions are very tight. For example, the proportion of cases in urban areas (Variable 16, code level 1) is 35.1% + 1.8. The proportion of cases with fires (Variable 140, code level 1) is 4.0% + 0.7. Six other representative proportions were checked. The widest confidence interval for any of the proportions was t 1.9%. The accuracy of the population estimates from the sampled file can be compared to what would have been obtained had no sampling been done.' Confidence intervals were calculated for the same proportions

If all cases had been taken, the TIFA file would have been a census file. Calculating confidence intervals for census data is appropriate and frequently done. It is true that if the proportion

Introduction


as in the previous paragraph, but assuming a simple random sample of all 4,795 cases. The confidence intervals for the stratified random sample are only 34% wider than they would have been, had all cases been taken. For example, the 95% confidence interval for the proportion of urban cases would have been + 1.4 rather than 5 1.8. This difference is to be expected, since a larger number of cases results in tighter estimates; however, the difference is not large enough to be of concern for most applications. Qbtainina Information from the Dataset This report provides counts and distributions of the code values for each variable in the file. These tabulations are useful for understanding the variables available in the file, the completeness of the data, and the number of cases with any specific code value. Many research questions require more detailed cross-classification of the data. In general, different types of trucks are used differently. In comparing the accident experience of straight trucks with that of tractor-semitrailers, for example, one might wish to examine the distributions of trip type and carrier type. While this dataset is not made available to the public by UMTRI, the staff of the Center for National Truck Statistics at UMTRI will be pleased to make the appropriate runs for outside users. Requests for consultation on and analysis of the data are welcomed and may be addressed to Ken Campbell or Dan Blower at (313) 764-0.248.The file has also been provided to the NHTSA1s National Center for Statistics and Analysis. Finally, while every effort has been made to check the accuracy of the data, the file may contain errors not yet detected.

of urban accidents in a census file from a particular year is 0.34, then 0.34 is the true proportion of urban accidents for that vear. In practical terms, however, interest focuses not on any particular year of accident data, but on the relationship between certain factors and the probability of an accident. In that sense, any particular accident year constitutes a sample of accidents, so confidence intervals are often calculated for the resulting estimates.
