In 2009 there were over 8,000 large truck crashes in which a rollover was categorized as the “most harmful event” for the large truck.1 Truck rollovers also tend to be severe; over half (52%) of all large truck occupant fatalities involved a rollover in 2009.2 To study this issue, fatal crash data from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) and non-fatal crash data obtained from various state agencies were analyzed and mapped in a Geographic Information System (GIS) to explore the prevalence of large truck rollover events at particular sites. This report identifies dense concentrations of large truck rollovers using historical crash data from 2001 to 2009. This analysis demonstrates that a geographic database of large truck rollover events can be created to identify locations where large truck rollovers frequently occur. Future phases of the research will explore technology solutions to reduce the occurrence of rollover crashes and improve the overall safety of the transportation system. 1Large Truck and Bus Crash Facts 2009.

In 2009 there were over 8,000 large truck crashes in which a rollover was categorized as the “most harmful event” for the large truck.3 While this accounts for only 2.8 percent of all U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) reported large truck crashes, truck rollovers tend to be severe.4 Over half (52%) of all large truck occupant fatalities involved a rollover in 2009.5 In addition to the loss of life, rollovers are extremely costly. A 2009 study found the cost of a rollover that resulted only in property damage to be, on average, $196,958.6 That average cost increased nearly six-fold to $1,143,018 when a fatality occurred.7 Large truck rollovers are often induced by factors that are unique to the truck and its operating environment. Although not all large trucks are configured in the same manner, or have similar load weights and distributions, historical crash data indicates that large trucks are prone to rollover at particular speeds and locations.

The lack of truck parking in Kansas has come to the forefront of the Kansas Department of Transportation, Kansas Highway Patrol and the trucking industry in Kansas. The grant for a Truck Parking Information and Management System would be used to provide real-time information to commercial truck drivers about the availability of public and private truck parking, through the use of dynamic roadside signs and other means, along key commercial corridors throughout the eight Midwestern states.
