tractor-trailer. The primary findings are
the following:
• Data from Florida and North
Carolina showed decreases in fatalities
and serious injuries to passenger vehicle
occupants when rear-ending a tractortrailer subsequent to the
implementation of Safety Standards 223
and 224. However, the observed
decreases are not statistically significant
at the 0.05 level, possibly due to the
small sample sizes of the data.
• Using supplemental data collection
from North Carolina, it is shown that
passenger vehicle passenger
compartment intrusion is more apt to
occur when the corner of the trailer is
impacted, rather than the center of the
trailer. This result is statistically
significant at the 0.01 level.
• It is not possible to establish a
nationwide downward trend in fatalities
when a passenger vehicle rear-ends a
tractor-trailer—neither in terms of total
number of fatalities, percentage of
fatalities in rear impacts relative to other
passenger vehicle fatalities involved in
tractor-trailer accidents, nor number of
fatal crashes per 1,000 total crashes. The
Fatality Accident Reporting System
does not list the model year of the
trailer.
In April 2009, NHTSA issued An InService Analysis of Maintenance and
Repair Expenses for the Anti-Lock Brake
System and Underride Guard for
Tractors and Trailers (74 FR 18803).

years of State data from Kansas,
Washington and Nebraska to estimate
the effects of early graduation from
child restraint seats to booster seats and
of early graduation from booster seats to
lap and shoulder belts. Estimates are
computed by double-pair comparison, a
method uniquely suited to address the
confounding variables which may bias
results and are difficult or impossible to
account for with other statistical
methods.
The principal findings are that among
3–4-year-olds there is evidence of
increased risk of injury when restrained
in booster seats rather than the
recommended child restraint seats. This
effect may be more pronounced in the
3-year-olds. Among 4–8-year-olds there
is strong evidence of increased risk of
injury when restrained by lap and
shoulder belts rather than the
recommended booster seats. The
magnitude of this effect is estimated at
a 14% increase in risk of any type of
injury, but may vary depending on data
source and injury severity.
