dc.description.abstractCrashes involving trucks are often severe due to the large amount of kinetic energy contained in a moving truck. In 2019, there were 188 fatalities involving a heavy truck in Australia, representing 15% of fatalities nationally. The purpose of this project was to produce the first substantial dataset of in-depth no-blame truck crash investigations in Australia, and to analyse these crashes to identify the common contributing factors and the interventions that show the most potential to prevent or mitigate these crashes. This was achieved by investigating 69 truck crashes within 150 km of Adelaide between June 2021 and February 2023 and combining these with 31 pre-existing investigations from the Centre for Automotive Safety Research’s regular series of in-depth crash investigations to create a total sample of 100 truck crashes. At the time of writing the data is being finalised and reviewed. Full results will be presented at the conference.
