PROBLEM ANALYSIS OF MOPED ACCIDENTS IN THE UNITED STATES (INTERIM REPORT)

An overview is presented of an ongoing project designed to formulate a model to forecast the nature and scope of the potential moped accident problem in the U.S.; to use the analytical model to predict outcomes for such input values as sales volume, usage patterns, and crash rates; and to recommend research and safety program action to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, based on the model forecasts. Project tasks include planning and administration, literature review, market research, model formulation, collection of additional data (optional), use of the model analysis, and preparation of program plans.
