More info
Description / Abstract:
Objective
The specific objective of this research project was to prepare a synthesis of safety implications of oversize/ overweight (OS/OW) commercial vehicles. The purpose was to identify and document known relationships between commercial vehicle safety and causal factors like vehicle type, weight, length, speed, load, driver, etc. This information can be used to modify commercial vehicle enforcement and permitting practices, and it can justify investments and expenditures on size and weight enforcement in the interests of safety. A secondary purpose of this project was to identify research needed to guide future safety and enforcement enhancements.
