The document presents problem size assessments and statistical crash descriptions for rear-end crashes, including two key subtypes: lead-vehicle stationary (LVS) and lead-vehicle moving (LVM). The rear-end crash problem size is assessed using such measures as number of crashes, number and severity of injuries, number of fatalities, crash involvement rate, and crash involvement likelihood. Problem size statistics are provided for three vehicle type categories: all vehicles, passenger vehicles (i.e., cars, light trucks, light vans), and combination-unit trucks.
