Abstract

This Transportation Research Board (TRB) Circular was written by the members and friends of the TRB Truck and Bus Safety Committee (ANB70), which was founded in 2003. The broad purpose of this document is to explore and articulate essential information and perspectives on truck and bus safety research and, in so doing, establish a knowledge base and charter for the new committee. Reflecting the multidisciplinary nature of truck and bus safety and the range of ANB70 committee and member interests, this circular addresses eight major topics, as follows: (1) Problem assessment and data, (2) Laws and regulations, (3) Enforcement and compliance, (4) Driver health and wellness, (5) Driver human factors, (6) Carrier safety management, (7) Vehicle design and technology, and (8) Roadway design and operations.
