| Abstract | The main purpose of Phase I of this project was to develop a methodology for predicting consequences of hazardous material (HM) crashes, such as injuries and property damage. An initial step in developing a risk assessment is to reliably estimate the number of crashes and incidents for a defined period of time. The report documented a process to evaluate the full impact of HM crashes and incidents by sampling a single HM class (class 3) for 1 year. This tech brief summarizes the 1-year portrait of HM crashes/incidents and their impacts. For this discussion, an incident is an event in which HM is unintentionally released from a package (49 CFR171.16). 4 p. |
