Abstract

Only a few studies are available on the accident risks for the truck driver himself. In a representative evaluation of accidents the injury patterns of truck drivers dependent on collision type and accident intensity are shown on the basis of 800 truck- collisions. This is followed by a discussion of the injury causes with regard to possible safety improvements. The active safety requirements of trucks resulting from accident studies and the possible effect of technical systems such as antilock braking systems and distance warning devices are discussed.
