This report is intended to characterize rear-end traffic accidents in the United States with respect to their frequency, their severity, time and place of occurrence, and the vehicle and drivers involved to supplement NHTSA reports. Additional statistical information presented within this report is important to some aspects of system design and analysis and in system trade-offs and benefits analysis. Data sources for this work include the NHTSA Fatal Accident Reporting System (FARS), various aspects of the National Accident Sampling System (NASS) particularly the General Estimates System (GES), state data files from Michigan, Texas and Washington and some reference to the literature.
