“…Nighttime driving also increases driver risk. Nighttime driving has been associated with close calls (Morrow and Crum 2004), increased incidents of abrupt braking (Fazekas et al 2014), at‐fault crashes related to fatigue (Bunn, Slavova, and Rock 2019), and increased crash severity, injury, and fatality risk (Hertz 1988; Islam, Jones, and Dye 2014; Uddin and Huynh 2017; Zhu and Srinivasan 2011). Simply put, when drivers drive at night they are at a greater risk of fatigue, which can have negative implications for safety (Sparrow et al 2016).…”

“…Indeed, motor carriers' ability to balance technology adoption with competing requirements helps them improve safety performance (Cantor, Corsi, and Grimm 2009;Tsai, Swartz, and Megahed 2018), perhaps by reducing driver fatigue and improving driver operational performance (Saltzman and Belzer 2002). As safety technology continues to mature, carriers will have the opportunity to utilize data to assess individual driver behavior and help drivers improve safety and operational performance (Fazekas et al 2014).…”

“…Safety technology adoption (i.e., electronic log books/devices) leads to a reduction in driver HOS violations (Cantor, Corsi, and Grimm 2009), which improves carrier safety outcomes (Cantor et al 2016; Mitra 2016). Carriers can now monitor truck and driver behavior, such as a driver's braking data, for trends and anomalies (Fazekas et al 2014). However, we currently don't have a full understanding of the goal‐framing mechanisms by which technology influences driver behavior, actions, and safety outcomes.…”

This article presents results of a systematic review of the US motor-carrier safety literature in transportation, logistics, and safety journals. The discipline has seen growth in research over the decades, and growth of the field rapidly increased in the last decade. We organize the literature into a systems framework and summarize the research across industry system levels to include government, regulators, carriers, and drivers. We then apply a goal-framing approach to reveal some of the dynamic interactions between system levels and the environment, as entities work to minimize risk to life and property during freight operations while striking a balance between the industry's welfare and societal welfare. This article provides recommendations for future research to fill gaps in the current body of knowledge and to aid government officials, regulators and law enforcement officials, carrier managers, and drivers in addressing industry challenges and maintaining safe roads in 2020 and beyond.

“…However, use of surrogate safety assessment, instead of accident data analysis is common in transportation research (e.g. Fazekas et al , 2014). Another limitation is a possible presence of sample bias, as the inclination of the vehicle owners to file safety complaints may vary with model class.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the value of information in consumer safety complaints for organizational learning. Design/methodology/approach Empirical analysis of this study uses a novel secondary data set, which is formed by combining complaints data filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) for potential safety defects, and design change information from 2003 to 2011 model-year vehicles in the USA. Findings First, the paper demonstrates the value of information embedded in complaints. Second, in the case of radical product redesigns, owing to the lack of direct applicability of consumer feedback based learning, the impact of learning on product safety is found to be muted, third, the results suggest that the safety complaint rates vary by vehicle classes/categories and, fourth, the findings differ from prior research conclusions on vehicle quality. Prior research finds the debuting car models have the lowest repair rates among all car models produced in a given year, but the current study finds the debuting models to have the highest rates of safety complaints. Originality/value Quality management literature rarely examines the safety complaints data (which, unlike other consumer feedbacks, focuses exclusively on the safety hazards due to flaws that result in accidents). This paper fills the gap in literature by linking safety complaints with future product quality and organizational learning.

“…The program was created in the context of existing international and national programs and strategies, such as: According to researchers dealing with road safety, the number of traffic incidents is connected with the growing number of vehicles on the road, the quality of roads, the technical condition of vehicles, the driver experience [1,16,17], driving culture [4,18,29] and the organizational factors [5].…”

National Road Safety Program 2013-2020 assumes to reduce fatalities by half and seriously injured by 40% from 2010 to 2020. It means that no more than 2,000 people per year should die on Polish roads and no more than 6,900 people should suffer serious injuries in traffic accidents. The experience of other European Union countries with improving road safety gives hope that these goals are still realistic, but there is a need to intensify the activities carried out in this area. In Poland, more and more institutions are taking part in the process of improving road safety: state institutions, non-governmental organizations, local governments, enterprises, scientific and research institutions, the media and many others. The study presents the problem of road safety in the city of Bytom on the basis of its analysis in the years 2013-2017. It discusses the types of road accidents and their classification. Moreover, the paper describes the issues illustrating the situation on roads that have a particular impact on the safety level of road users, among others, the number of road accidents, reasons for their occurrence, the consequences and groups of perpetrators of accidents. It also describes actions and initiatives taken to improve road safety in the city of Bytom.
