| Abstract | The need for multivariate accident involvement rates is often encounted in accident analysis. The FARS (Fatal Accident Reporting System) files contain records of fatal involvements characterized by many variables while NPTS (National Personal Transportation Survey) contains reports of trip records similary characterized by many variables. When the dassificatory variables available in both data bases are examined the following are indent!fled as of the most interest in accident analysis: Driver Age Driver Sex Vehicle Weight Vehicle Age Land Use (urban/rural) Season (winter/summer) Time of Day Number of Occupants The fatal involvement data (from FARS) and the VMT data (from NPTS) were separately classified by these variables (each limited to two or three levels). Missing data was accounted for. Missing weight data was estimated, where possible, based on make, model, and/or other vehicle characteristics. |
