Abstract

One thousand tractors and 2700 trailers of the US Army's Line haul carrier in Germany were equipped with encapsulated Lens reflective sheeting on the mudflaps. The results after three years show three accidents versus the expected twelve from the baseline period. While the final results cannot be statistically validated, the favorable comments from drivers as well as the German press reinforce the face validity of increasing truck conspicuity to avoid rear-end crashes at night.
