| Abstract | This report details the results of an analysis performed to evaluate the representativeness of the Crash Avoidance Research accident data base (CARDfile). The accident records for 1983 and 1984 from six states (Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Washington) were combined into one data base that now contains 3.2 million accidents that involved 5.6 million vehicles. NHTSA's Office of Crash Avoidance (NRD-50) has been using CARDfile to evaluate crash avoidance concepts and to assist in program development. In order to make the best use of CARDfile, it is important to understand how well the accident experience derived from the six CARDfile states represents that of the nation as a whole. |
