The report contains a series of distributions of variables from UMTRI's file of Trucks Involved in Fatal Accidents, 1987. The file combines the coverage of the Fatal Accident Reporting System (FARS) data with the detail of the Office of Motor Carrier (OMC) data. When no OMC report existed for a medium or heavy truck listed by FARS, UMTRI conducted a telephone interview to obtain the desired information on ownership, type of trip, vehicle configuration, cargo weights, and lengths. The 1987 TIFA dataset contains 5,275 cases, up 0.6% from the 5,244 in 1986.
