Goods transport is an essential fact of modern life, delivering most of our food and luxuries. This link to standard of living will tend to drive increasing truck use and Vision Zero clearly will not be achieved, unless action is taken to improve HGV safety. Size and mass bring significant difficulty but the challenges are not only technical. Freight transport runs on slim margins. Payload capacity, vehicle uptime, fuel and maintenance bills can all outweigh the latest safety innovation when it comes to vehicle specifications. How can we ensure a rating has influence when the relationship between Euro NCAP and the vehicle buyer will be business to business and not business to consumer? How can we create the market for safety that manufacturers need to allow innovation? One make and model can cover variants from an 18 tonne rigid for urban distribution, through off-road construction vehicles and on to 60 tonne multi-trailer combinations for long haul. How can the rating be applied in a meaningful yet economic way? This paper summarises several years of work to find the answer to these questions, that has involved analysing collision data, investigating the availability, effectiveness and operational constraints of different technical safety measures that could be promoted, and engaging extensively with road owners, safety organisations, the freight operations industry and the vehicle industry. New and quite stringent regulation of HGV safety is imminent in Europe and this has also been a major consideration. Does this already solve the problems? Is there a need to go further? These questions are considered via a case study of measures intended to protect vulnerable road users The end result is what the authors believe to be a globally unique application of the consumer rating approach to solve a complex and multi-faceted problem.]]> Mon, 11 Sep 2023 11:42:29 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/2213967 Virtual Simulation Based Assessment of ADAS in Consumer Tests by openPASS https://trid.trb.org/View/2210178 Thu, 27 Jul 2023 09:22:31 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/2210178 Transport of Live Animals in the EU: Challenges and Opportunities https://trid.trb.org/View/2160680 Thu, 22 Jun 2023 09:49:12 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/2160680 Integrating Design for Environment (DfE) and Extended Product Responsibility (EPR) https://trid.trb.org/View/1792535 Mon, 22 May 2023 13:28:45 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/1792535 LCA Working Procedures when Developing Environmental Product Declarations for Cars from Volvo https://trid.trb.org/View/1792510 Mon, 22 May 2023 13:28:45 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/1792510 Can consumer rights improve on-time performance?
