The UMTRI dataset of Trucks Involved in Fatal Accidents, 1980-82, provides detailed descriptions of all medium and heavy trucks involved in a fatal accident in the continental United States, excluding Alaska, during the years 1980 through 1982. In particular, it gives information on the vehicle and cargo that is not contained in the computerized data from the Fatal Accident Reporting System (FARS). The UMTRI file is a combination of telephone surveys, mail surveys, Bureau of Motor Carrier Safety (BMCS) accident reports matched with FARS cases, and supplementary data coded from police accident reports. Overall, a total of 5,056 medium and heavy trucks were involved in fatal accidents in 1980, 5,244 in 1981, and 4,718 in 1982. Thus the number of involvements rose by 3.7 percent from 1980 to 1981, but fell by 10.0 percent from 1981 to 1982. tf:hether such differences represent real changes in medium and heavy truck safety or are instead attributable to changes in vehicle use and mileage cannot at present be established
