The special safety hazard posed by highway tank vehicles hauling flammable liquids has been addressed through accident data analysis and engineering evaluations related to tank vehicle configuration. The study, which was mandated directly by an Act of the Michigan State Legislature, has produced a recommendation for new legislation pertaining to the configuraton of tank vehicles having fluid capacities in excess of 9,000 gal. A set of four vehicle configurations are recommended, all constituting tractor-semitrailers. The specification for each vehicle covers constraints on tank capacity, tank height above the ground, rollover stability, the use of so-called 'lift-axles,' and the ability of manhole covers to contain the fluid load in the event of a rollover.
