Abstract

A unique dataset developed by the New South Wales Roads and Traffic Authority allows fleet-registered vehicles in crashes to be identified and compared with crashes of non-fleet-registered vehicles. The analyses presented here compare the incidence and severity of excessive speed or fatigue in crashes involving fleet-registered and non-fleet-registered vehicles. To obtain a more complete picture of the problem, where relevant these factors are examined in relation to a number of other variables, such as the prevailing speed limit at the crash site and driver characteristics.
