The difference between the crash rates per mile in the first two reports is due to the use of a bounding rate (using general data) in the first report and a carrier-specific rate in the second report. The third report derived a truck crash rate per billion ton-miles, based on Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration data for the number of commercial vehicle hazmat crashes divided by the number of commercial vehicle ton-miles. The commercial vehicle accident rate per ton-mile value was multiplied first by 0.59 and then by 0.013 to account for the number of ton-miles for for-hire commercial vehicles and for Class 6 poisons, respectively. These adjustments to the accident rate are inappropriate without consideration of the corresponding hazmat crashes, for which no data were used. The total accident scenario probabilities may be conservative (too high), however, when the probabilities of fire occurring, impact forces sufficiently high, etc. are considered. These probabilities do not appear to have been addressed, and the committee did not review the reports at that level of detail. [Pg.52]
