Fatalities to Occupants of 15-Passenger Vans, 1997-2006 [PDF]
Description: The objective of this research note is to report the fatalities to occupants of 15-passenger vans in the 10-year period from 1997 to 2006. Of particular interest are fatalities that occurred to occupants in 15-passenger vans that rolled over. Prior research (Garrott et al.1, Subramanian2) has shown that heavily loaded 15-passenger vans have a higher rate of rollover than lightly loaded vans. Loading 15-passenger vans to gross vehicle weight (GVW) also moves the center of gravity rearward and upward thereby affecting the stability and handling of the van. The research also points out speed and curved road geometry as factors affecting rollover outcome. Belt use rates among occupants in 15-passenger vans involved in fatal crashes are significantly lower compared to oth-er passenger vehicles. Another research note (Thiriez et al.3) also stressed the importance of properly main-taining the tires in such vans. NHTSA has issued three previous consumer advisories (NHTSA4 5 6) on the roll-over propensity of 15-passenger vans.

Crashes vs. Congestion - What's the Cost to Society? (AAA) [PDF]
Description: When American motorists talk about transportation problems, they generally key in on traffic. Snarled highways, epic commutes, and gridlocked business and commercial districts mar our suburban existence, weighing heavily upon our elected leaders, our policymakers, and our families. Yet there’s a more costly problem to be addressed on America’s roads: motor vehicle crashes. In 2006, traffic crashes killed 42,642 people in the United States – about 117 deaths per day, and nearly 5 every hour. Most Americans would be surprised to learn the societal costs associated with motor vehicle crashes significantly exceed the costs of congestion. AAA commissioned this study to examine the costs of crashes to society. The study, along with recommendations for improvements, is designed to raise awareness of the importance
of transportation investments, and provide policy-makers, departments of transportation, and the public with information on the magnitude of the safety problem.
