There is a need to further explore the various safety issues related to large truck usage of North Carolina highways. The work being proposed to accomplish this is a three-year, three-phase evaluation and problem identification effort. The first phase, which the report addresses, has involved the analysis of statewide data on truck crashes to provide a general picture of the heavy truck crash problem in North Carolina. The second phase will focus on the identification of high truck-crash locations and on the characteristics of these locations, particularly with respect to the designated route system and associated connecting roadways. The third phase will develop and use weight-in-motion data (or other exposure data) to take into account exposure variables related to the crash data in order to more specifically identify the truck variables which are key to the high crash locations. The efforts in the Phase 1 effort involved four steps: (1) Review of the literature; (2) Analysis of North Carolina accident data; (3) Specification of results from this analysis; and (4) Planning for future efforts.
