Safety - USA - Research suggests new HOS improving safety
USA -Fleet Owner (subscription) -Aug 1, 2005: -- According to preliminary findings by the American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI), since the new hours of service (HOS) rules took effect carriers are reporting fewer accidents... “Our data set for this research represents over 100,000 drivers and over 10.5-billion fuel tax miles,” said Rebecca Brewster, ATRI president & COO. “We solicited carrier input and also surveyed drivers. The carrier data shows a 3.7% reduction in the collision rate per million miles under the new HOS. We are also seeing an injury rate reduction of 12.6% per million miles. In other words, our research indicates that the new HOS are having a positive impact on highway safety.”
