▼ Trends in vehicle control show an increasing reliance on data aggregation and model-based predictive control to improve vehicle performance. The data and models that underly this trend, when analyzed experimentally on-the-road, allow discovery of route and location-specific effects that are not typically captured with generic vehicle or road representations. The influence of these effects on the performance, fuel economy, and stability of vehicle systems - particularly heavy vehicles used individually or in platoons - is poorly understood. This thesis examines the location-specific variations and influences that affect the performance in terms of fuel economy of heavy-duty trucks in urban and highway routes. The methods are motivated by experimental data collection from large numbers of repeated route traversals, with data including vehicle position, speed, acceleration, fuel use as well as drag reduction for following trucks in the case of platooning. These measurements allow the dynamic fuel consumption to be matched as a function of distance along the route as measured in a spatial s-coordinate. Testing situations include conventional single-vehicle operation across a wide range of urban, arterial, and highway situations, as well as the platooning of two trucks on an interstate highway. The results demonstrate that terrain and position information within a route offer significant predictions in terms of fuel economy in a vehicle. Additionally, infrastructure elements, specifically vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication can be used not only to monitor route information, but also used by the infrastructure to constrain or define behaviors of the vehicle. Moreover, the geometric definition of a road was seen to change the behavior of the stability of a truck platoon. Also, the drag reduction experienced by truck platoon is quantified using wind-tunnel experiments. Afterwards, a framework is proposed where the number of route traversals needed to define a route in terms of fuel use and vehicle speed is obtained based on statistical confidence. Finally, two commercial Volvo trucks are used to obtain location-specific fuel consumption and drag estimates when undergoing a fixed gap-distance in a truck platoon on Interstate-99. When the inter-vehicle platoon spacing was fixed to a one vehicle length, the fuel consumption reduction had a per-route average improvement of 13.6% on one route, and 9.1% on another route.

▼ Recent studies have investigated the waste tyre crumb rubber (TCR)-bitumen interaction by observing the swelling of waste TCR at elevated temperatures. It was found that the waste TCR-bitumen interaction alters the rigidity and shape of TCR, which causes the failure of asphalt mixtures. Consequently, the problem occurs when the waste TCR swells during waste TCR-bitumen interaction from mixing and transportation of the asphalt mixture. Extensive laboratory studies have shown that the rate of absorption of bitumen is correlated with the TCR rubber composition and particle size. However, it is possible that swelling of waste TCR can be prevented or reduced before waste TCR-bitumen interaction by means of pre-treating the rubber crumb as to prevent the alteration of bitumen properties. Therefore, this study seeks to investigate the interaction of truck tyre wastes rubber particulates (WRP)-bitumen with the pretreatment of truck tyre WRP with H2SO4, HNO3 and HCℓ. This treatment was done to make TCR suitable for the dry process asphalt mixtures, where TCR acts as a filler instead of altering bitumen binder properties. The investigation characterized truck tyre WRP-bituminous binder interaction by interacting a single truck tyre WRP with penetration grade (50/70 and 70/100) and industrial polymer modified binders (AE-2 and PolyMod). The interaction through kinetic study revealed that the swelling of truck tyre WRP is either a non-Fickian two-step swelling or anomalous diffusion mechanism of bituminous binders. In addition, the study showed that temperature has an effect on the diffusion, sorption and permeation coefficients; where coefficients increased as the temperature was increased. The characterization of which bituminous binder component was observed by the truck tyre WRP was studied using Fourier Transform Infra-Red Spectroscopy (FTIR), Carbon 13 Nuclear Magnetic Spectroscopy (13C NMR) and Thermalgravimetric Analysis (TGA). The study showed that by analysing the extracted bituminous binder from residual truck tyre WRP after the interaction, Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) consisting of molecular structure characteristics of bitumen constituent aromatics. So as to restricting the diffusion of bituminous binder into truck tyre WRP, the surface of truck tyre WRP was treated with H2SO4, HNO3 and HCℓ acids from concentrations of 1, 6 and 12 M. The H2SO4 and HCℓ treated WRP showed a change in molecular ii structure, toluene sorption coefficient, surface morphology and thermal characteristics (TGA and DSC). However, changes that were observed with the HNO3 treatment showed that the truck tyre WRP material was in fact being digested by the HNO3 acid. In all the respective acid treatments, the effects were distinct with 12 M acid concentration. This was observed with a decrease in toluene sorption coefficient with increasing acid concentration. From the treatment of the truck tyre WRP with H2SO4, HNO3 and HCℓ acids, the 6 M acid concentration showed desirable characteristics. Interaction of the respective acid treated…

A Clinical Paper submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Nursing-Family Nurse Practitioner

With sedentary lifestyles at the heart of the obesity epidemic, finding ways to increase physical activity is imperative. Certain populations may encounter unique barriers to increasing physical activity, such as over the road truck drivers (OTRTD). In 2006, a U.S. Department of Transportation survey showed that 90% of truck drivers were overweight and 50% were obese, leading to an increased prevalence in chronic health conditions. Current research indicates a limited number of studies that have focused on decreasing weight and increasing physical activity in OTRTDs. The purpose of this study was to determine if there was a relationship between social support and the level of physical activity in over the road truck drivers. Pender's Health Promotion Model(HPM) was used as the theoretical framework for this study. The HPM identifies individual characteristics and experiences that affect subsequent health actions, such as exercise and social support. Concepts such as interpersonal influences, situational influences, and support with committing to a plan of action all use social support to increase health outcomes. Over the road truck drivers can benefit from using health-promoting behaviors due to the nature of their work environment. A quantitative descriptive correlational research design was used for this study. A convenience sample of 42 participants was obtained from two different truck stop locations in the Midwest. A demographic Truck Driver Questionnaire, the Norbeck Social Support Questionnaire (NSSQ), and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) were administered. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results indicated that there was no significant correlation between total social support and total physical activity scores (p=.840). No significant correlations were demonstrated between the NSSQ emotional support subscale and the IPAQ total physical activity score (p= .652) or the NSSQ tangible support of the NSSQ and the IPAQ total physical activity score (p= .696.) Although the results of the study were not statistically significant, there are important implications for practice and research. Providers need to address the unique barriers encountered by OTRTDs and discuss more creative and helpful ways to increase levels of physical activity. Future studies should look at more appropriate tools for this population and take into account the environment in which the study takes place. A qualitative study could provide more insight into the perceptions of exercise and healthy eating, and the specific challenges facing OTRTDs.

▼ Trajectory generators are designed to create reference paths that are parametrized by time as well as by velocity or acceleration. In the literature, it has been noted that often path planners are the last step in the planning module of autonomous truck-trailer vehicles, which results in a collision-free track. A trajectory generator can improve this path by making it smoother, which improves passenger comfort and decreases stress on the engine. The available trajectory generators are in their majority based on large number of optimizations, which limits their real-time applicability. This research aims to create a computationally efficient parametric method for trajectory generation that leads to a continuous motion of the vehicle. Using cubic splines, a unique method of parametrization is applied such that a custom velocity profile is defined along the trajectory. Together with choosing appropriate boundary conditions for each path segment, a trajectory is generated that proves continuous reference tangent angle and yaw rate, while following a velocity profile that is continuous in acceleration. This leads to a continuous longitudinal and lateral motion of the truck-trailer vehicle. While continuity conditions are achieved, simulations results showed high reference yaw rate peaks, which could be difficult to track under non-ideal circumstances. An alternative generator was designed based on quintic splines, such that yaw rate peaks can be limited. However, this minimization leads to oscillations of the reference trajectory. A trade-off needs to be defined to balance between minimizing peak yaw rates and oscillations. Closed-loop simulations using a kinematic truck-trailer model show that tracking the generated trajectory lead to continuous steering wheel and velocity input signals. Furthermore, the trajectory was smoothly tracked without the use of an optimal controller. Eventually all research goals have been achieved. Further studies could analyse the performance of the proposed trajectory generator using a dynamic truck-trailer model such that effects of wheel slip and load transfer can be investigated. It is also of interest to analyse the trailer behaviour when tracking the trajectory.

▼ Rules of all types are increasingly enforced by digital mechanisms. Technological enforcement regimes appeal to policymakers, in part, because machines can enforce rules more perfectly than humans do; human enforcement is "messier" due to the discretion, incentives, and biases of both enforcers and enforcees. Technological rule enforcement appears to shrink the gap between rule and practice by minimizing the human element and compelling compliance. But I posit that technological enforcement regimes relocate and reshape, rather than close, gaps between on-the-books rules and on-the-ground practices. New gaps between rules and practices open up as new sites of social contestation are created, new parties are brought into negotiation with one another, and the interests of existing stakeholders are resituated. This dissertation explores these dynamics in the context of new regulations that would mandate that truck drivers' work time be electronically monitored – rather than recorded on easily falsified paper logs, as they have been for decades – to induce compliance with hours-of-service limitations. My analysis considers how legal rules and technical capacities interact to create surveillant regimes that transcend public/private distinctions, realign institutional interests, and challenge occupational identities. I consider how communities of interest – law enforcement, trucking firms, and truckers themselves – respond to digital monitoring "in the wild." I find that interaction with these systems constructs new spaces between regulatory intention and social practice, provides new tools for managerial and legal control, and reconfigures industrial and law enforcement relationships. The case offers an instructive context in which to investigate the interplay of social organization, legal rules, and technical capabilities. This research helps us conceptualize how enforcement and regulation may be reframed when technological solutions are relied upon to exact compliance with rules. As technological enforcement mechanisms come to pervade many experiences of daily life, it becomes imperative to examine how these regimes emerge and interact with the social world. Through an in-depth examination of the development and operation of an electronic monitoring device in one legal and organizational context, this dissertation aims to contribute to broad social debates about the role of technological surveillance in legal rulemaking and social life.

▼ In the late 1990s, early 2000s, academic literature considered electronic marketplaces as a game changer in truck transportation services procurement. Early enthusiasm was followed by skepticism regarding e-marketplaces' usefulness and the popularity of e-marketplaces appeared to wane both in industry and in academic literature. However, recent sources argue that almost half of the freight currently transported by truck in the USA is subject to transactions conducted in e-marketplaces. This dissertation intends to fill a gap in the academic literature by showing that truck transportation e-marketplaces necessitate renewed dedicated research efforts, by exploring the strategies implemented by e-marketplaces in this specific industry and by linking these strategies to marketplaces' performance. First, transportation and non-transportation e-marketplaces are compared in chapter 2 with regard to their usage of mechanisms designed to generate trust among users. Results show that truck transportation e-marketplaces use these trust mechanisms differently than non-transportation e-marketplaces, which supports a call for research on e-marketplaces in the specific context of truck transportation services procurement. In chapter 3, a database inventorying the usage of 141 features by 208 e-marketplaces is then created to initiate the empirical exploration of these specific e-marketplaces. Thanks to that database, a new typology (a way of classifying objects based on several simultaneous classification criteria) is developed in chapter 4 that identifies three main truck transportation e-marketplace strategies (two with sub-divided into two sub-strategies). The typology provides a state of industry and puts in perspective the specificity of truck transportation e-marketplaces with regard to their structure along 11 dimensions known to the general e-marketplace literature. Finally, the link between e-marketplace strategies and performance is investigated in chapter 5. Performance is measured with three traffic metrics: number of unique visitors per day, number of page views per day, and website ranking. Results show that third-party-owned e-marketplaces that provide auction mechanisms with a fairly high level of user decision and transaction support are more successful than other e-marketplaces. This dissertation provides a picture of existing e-marketplaces for the procurement of truck transportation services, challenges components of existing theories and provides ground for further research.

▼ Urban freight transportation is exclusively road based since other modes like air, rail and water ways are considered inefficient due to smaller trip lengths of urban localities, with the majority share being carried by trucks. Recent trends of online shopping along with a faster growing population in urban areas is putting more and more commercial trucks on urban road networks which move in a uniquely different manner forming long trip chains i.e. tours. The two primary classes of freight models, vehicle-based or commodity-based, both have flaws. The vehicle-based models fail to include the underlying economic behavior such as commodity flows from which the demand is actually derived, and the commodity-based models fail to realistically account for vehicle activities, especially in urban settings, for which evaluation and impact assessment are most crucial. As a result, recent developments in this field (urban freight modeling) have been focused toward more disaggregate types of models that incorporate supply chain behavioral mechanics (logistics model) or truck touring aspects (vehicle touring model). A disaggregate level tour-based truck model was developed to estimate origin-destination (O-D) matrix considering both the commodity and vehicular aspects of urban commercial freight movement. The criterion for choosing the next destination zone for tour formation is based on the principle of serving the nearest zone first. The model and its application in case studies related to two different commercial vehicle survey (2006 Austin and 2012 Dallas- Fort Worth) data sets in Texas region are presented. Two major inducers of commercial freight truck tours in urban areas (i.e. delivery of food and kindred products and manufactured goods) were considered in the case studies. Fairly good performance (25% to 30% accurate predictions and about 90% within 3 zones) was displayed by the proposed models (model 1 and model 2) in predicting O-D matrices corresponding to the two commodity classes. One of the significant contributions of this research in the paradigm of urban commercial freight truck tour modeling is the introduction of a novel parameter, i.e. store opening hours in destination choice of the tour building process pertaining to the delivery of food and kindred products.

▼ The transportation industry is constantly developing innovative solutions in order to increase efficiency, sustainability and safety. Truck platooning is one of those emerging technologies with high potential. In one way or another, truck platooning will also have an impact on our current infrastructure and the way in which the motorways are managed and maintained.Trucks have the greatest effect on the occurrence of road surface wear unlike smaller vehicles (Mallick & El-Korchi, 2017). The pavement structure is designed according to the amount of truck axle load repetitions that occurs in the design life of the motorway.The current traffic flow is normally distributed on the traffic lane, which is called lateral wander and has a positive effect on the service life of the road structure. Driving in a platoon will influence the wandering effect of trucks which will have a negative effect on the pavement structure. Lateral wander results in the distribution of pavement damage allowing more load repetitions on the lane.Different professionals from Rijkswaterstaat and TNO (research institute) were approached and search engines like Scopus, Elsevier, ResearchGate, ScienceDirect and the library of Tu-Delft were used to obtain scientific papers on truck platooning, pavement structures and the current maintenance strategies. It can be concluded that little to no research has been done into the impact of truck platooning on the pavement structure. This means that there is a knowledge gap in the scientifically area and in the practical area. This resulted in the following objective of this research, which is to fill the scientific knowledge gap and to contribute to the current practise. The resulting main research question has been developed, based on this objective.What are the potential impacts of Truck Platooning on the road infrastructure and how could this affect the construction and maintenance of asphalt pavements on motorways?Research approachA mix of qualitative methods and quantitative methods were used to find an answer on the main research question regarding truck platooning and the pavement structure. First, a literature study was conducted in order to collect the necessary data to identify the characteristics of truck platooning and to analyse the failure mechanisms of the pavement structure.The literature study identified three failure mechanisms which are effected by lateral wander. The literature study also resulted in three basic models, which are used to analyse the failure mechanisms. During the desk research, the models were adjusted to fit the needed situation of truck platooning on the Dutch motorways. After this, the impact of truck platooning on the pavement structure is determined.Next interviews were conducted with the purpose to obtain and evaluate data regarding the failure mechanisms of the pavement structure in relation to truck platooning and their impact on the maintenance strategy. As such, the obtained data is incorporated into the study.ResultsThree possible platooning scenarios were… Advisors/Committee Members: van Wee, Bert (mentor), Annema, Jan Anne (mentor), Houben, Lambert (mentor), Delft University of Technology (degree granting institution).

▼ This thesis provides a comparison of advanced econometric frameworks to account for unobserved factors in crash reported data (also referred to as unobserved heterogeneity) while identifying contributing factors by roadway classification for heavy vehicle injury severity and crash rates. The presented thesis provides two manuscripts that expand the literature regarding these advanced econometric methods using Idaho heavy vehicle crash reported data as a case study. The first manuscript utilizes two advanced analytical techniques, namely the random-parameter multinomial logit (also referred to as the mixed logit) and latent class logit, to identify injury severity contributing factors while exploring the empirical results of the two methods. Recent efforts suggest that more studies examining the results of the two approaches be completed to facilitate the identification of a superior framework that can used for future analyses. In comparing overall model fit (log-likelihood values), marginal effects and actual severities versus predicted severities, it was found that the latent class framework for heavy vehicle injury severity analysis performed better for the Idaho crash data. Further, through a model separation test, it was found that road classifications need to be analyzed separately with 99.99% confidence. In regard to the second manuscript, two additional advanced econometric approaches were utilized to investigate the factors that contribute to the number of crashes per million-vehicle-miles-traveled. Again, analysis was completed by road classification, as it was discovered in manuscript one that road classifications need to be analyzed separately. Due to the skewed distribution of heavy vehicle crash rates, Tobit regression was applied and compared to the empirical results of a latent class Tobit regression framework. To determine the most statistically significant method, overall model fit, partial effects and actual crash rates versus predicted crash rates were evaluated. The latent class Tobit regression framework outperformed that of the traditional Tobit regression approach for the Idaho dataset. Through the comparison of the crash analysis framework, latent class logit and latent class Tobit regression were found to outperform their traditional counterparts. In the midst of evaluating the empirical results, this thesis has statistically determined that road classifications need to be analyzed individually. The current thesis extends the literature in regard to heavy vehicle injury severity analysis and fills the noticeable gap that exists for heavy vehicle crash rate analysis. An analytical foundation has been provided and can be used for future studies that need to model discrete outcomes or continuous response variables. Although agencies typically do not use such advanced methods, the results from this thesis can help the Idaho Department of Transportation facilitate crash countermeasures with more precision and allow them to prioritize accordingly.

With the world moving closer towards a more environmental-friendly approach to everyday decisions, it is not a surprise that the concept of truck platooning is gaining momentum, as it reduces CO2 emissions by lowering fuel consumption. However, studies need to be performed to confirm that bridges already in existence will be able to handle platoons, even though they were not designed for them, or, restrict platoon activity on the ones that show poor results. The scope of this research is to study the effects of truck platooning on, steel girder bridges of single, two, and three-spans. Several truck-to-truck distances were selected and tested with a different number of trucks, per platoon, while varying spans lengths, or girder spacings. The AASHTO design and legal load ratings were calculated for each platoon case and were then used to examine the effects of truck platooning on bridge load ratings, and thus the adequacy of current bridges to carry platoons. The overall findings of the study include the following observations. Bridges previously designed using Allowable Stress Design may be inadequate for truck platoons in the positive moment region for medium to long-spans. In addition, they may be inadequate in the negative moment region for short spans. Bridges previously designed using Load Factor Design will likely be adequate for truck platoons in the positive moment region. However, issues may arise in the negative moment region for medium span lengths. Bridges previously designed using Load and Resistance Factor Design may be inadequate for truck platoons in the positive moment region for long-spans. However, there will likely not be any issues in the negative moment region. The number of trucks with in a platoon and the spacing between trucks inside a platoon are the most influential parameters on their load ratings. The adequacy of existing bridges will hinge on the quantities of these variables.

▼ The purpose of this thesis work was to carry out initial studies on Scania’s possibility to have plastic rearview mirror glasses as that for example may reduce costs and problems for Scania’s customers and enable another design of the mirror assembly. It was performed by studying the legislative and Scania demands regarding rearview mirrors to write a test program, find and order plastic mirrors, and then perform the tests and evaluate the mirrors to see if they seem good enough for Scania’s trucks. A Scania technical regulation for rearview mirror glass was also written. The tested mirrors were a Scania glass mirror as reference, a PC mirror from Sabic, a PC and a PMMA mirror from Specchidea, a mirror from SMR automotive, an ABS mirror from Ficocipa/Renault, an ABS mirror from Ford and a PC plastic from Bayer and they were tested for scratch resistance, temperature variations, impact resistance, corrosion and chemical resistance in that order. If a sample did not pass a certain test, it was not subjected to the next one. Of all samples it was only the SMR mirror and the reference glass mirror that passed the first test (scratch resistance). The others became too scratched and were not tested further. The SMR and the glass mirror also withstood all the following tests very good, the SMR mirror was the best one of the tested mirrors. Probably the SMR mirror was the best one because many of the other mirrors did not seem to have been made for outdoor conditions and because it seemed to be the most modern mirror with a good abrasion resistant coating. It was concluded that there is a future for plastic mirror glasses, that it would be interesting to do more tests on the mirrors, for example a UV test and a distortion test, and to test more mirrors as a new generation of plastic mirror glass seem to be underway. It would also be interesting to know how much cheaper and lighter the whole mirror assembly can become by changing to plastic mirror glass, which weighs 68% less than a glass mirror.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate meals and eating in one day for at least ten truck or lorry drivers. Another aim was to investigate the attitudes by the drivers to food and meals and their expectations on the meals. This is a qualitative study conducted in ten interviews, seven of which were over the phone. The interviews were semi-structured and took about twenty minutes for each driver. Data relating to the food choices for one day were collected and questions asked about their attitudes to food and meals were collected simultaneously. The drivers interviewed were all stationed in the lorry fleet in the Gävle area. The goal was to get as many drivers as possible working at night shifts than working at day shifts but the investigation eventually resulted in two more drivers who working day shifts. Six day drivers and four night drivers participated in this study, the loss regarding to the plan was two drivers. The over all result turned out that many drivers felt they couldn´t eat at those times when they wanted to eat mostly because of two reasons. The tight driving hours and driver's work schedule makes them unable to eat when and where they want to. There were very few drivers who really wanted to eat in their truck, but many could not control where to eat. Among the drivers who worked night shifts only one of four had breakfast which is in contrast to the drivers who worked during the day where everyone had breakfast. Drivers who worked nights ate fewer snacks and more candy than the drivers who worked during the day. Among those who worked at night no one ate regularly throughout the day when they were free as opposed to the second group, where four out of six day drivers ate at regular intervals. Conclusions from the study were in general fewer snacks and no breakfast among night drivers which may be one reason for that they ate more sweets during the test days. Night work seems to make it more difficult for the drivers in this study to eat regularly and get the recommended amount of fruit or vegetables which is 500 gram daily. Many drivers who worked during the day reached the recommended 500 g of fruit or vegetables per day. Keywords: Lorry driver, truck driver, attitudes, eating

Syftet med den här studien var att studera måltider och ätande under ett dygn hos minst tio lastbil- eller långtradarförare. Ett annat syfte var att undersöka förarnas attityder till mat och måltider och önskemål om arbetsmåltiden. Detta är en kvalitativ studie som genomfördes genom tio stycken intervjuer varav sju var över telefon. Intervjuerna var halvstrukturerade och tog ungefär tjugo minuter för varje förare. Data om vad förarna åt under ett dygn samt frågorna om deras attityder gentemot mat och måltider samlades in samtidigt. Förarna som intervjuades var alla stationerade på åkerier i Gävleområdet. Målet var att få lika många förare som jobbade natt som jobbade dagtid men det blev två mer förare som jobbade dagtid. Sex dagtidsförare och fyra nattförare ingick således i…

▼ This thesis is performed on master level and covers an assignment given by the Value Added Services(VAS) department at SSAB (Oxelösund, Sweden). The thesis has been carried out by Mattias Hägglundduring the fall of 2014 atMälardalen University. The transportation industry has over time developed to be more efficient and environmentally aware. Looking at the truck industry shows that the development is strong and constant, new solutions and improvements is being introduced every year. One result of this is reduced fuel consumption and/or increased loading capacity. In the mining industry for example, can a few hundred kilos extra payload make a big different at the end of the day. This constant development seen in many fields is something that SSAB wants to take part in. By using product diversification canthe VAS department reach new customers and secure sales of SSAB steel. Subframes, being a natural step from tipper bodies, are worth to consider as a possible project start-up. Combined with SSABs current tipper body program could a new subframe make its way to the market. This project have adapted a new product development process in order to come up with a subframe design not yet physically tested, but theoretically superior to conventional subframes. Each development phase of this process is explained and executed in the report, giving the reader a detailed step-by-step overview. The projects result builds on the knowledge attained from the course of the project and simulation results. With the use of a CAD-program and by applying FEM, have a number of concepts been analysed with regards to their strength and rigidity. The simulation results have made it possible to design a final solution where a number of demands and desired properties have been fulfilled. The result from this thesis work have reduced the weight by 7%, increased rigidity about 20% and substantially improved the strength in comparison to a typical subframe. This shows that there are possibilities to improve on the current subframe design, and that there is cause for SSAB to make further research and development in the subject of tipper body subframes.

▼ The aim of this thesis research was to find ways to improve safety in the heavy vehicle transport industry through the development of an evidence-based safety management system. This research was undertaken in light of disproportionate crash and injury risks associated with the heavy vehicle transport industry in comparison with other industries and other road users. No research to date has attempted to identify a set of safety management characteristics that are likely to reduce this risk. Although in recent years, work related road safety research has occurred, the problem of heavy vehicle crash related injury has largely been analysed as a public road safety road safety problem and largely dealt with through encouraging compliance to transport regulations. The nature of the trucking industry presents some unique challenges for safety management at an organisational level. This thesis argues that a “systems approach” with evidence-based safety management elements can be developed into an intervention program that is likely to improve safety outcomes in the heavy vehicle transport sector.Drawing from the knowledge from prior workplace safety and road safety research (Study 1), a study of safety management characteristics comparing those in good safety performing heavy vehicle operators and poor safety performers sought to synthesise the distinguishing features between them. Two empirical studies were conducted (Studies 2 and 3). The first was a survey of senior managers of Australian heavy vehicle operating companies. The second was an in-depth investigation of a sample of the survey participants to validate the self-reported survey, and to learn more about the reported characteristics and non-reported characteristics in situ. The findings of these studies provided the basis upon which to build a safety management system (SMS) suitable for heavy transport vehicle operations. This process resulted in the identification of 14 safety management practices that have strong research evidence for inclusion in a safety management system (SMS) for heavy truck operations. These findings, together with analysis of sound theoretical models to underpin the SMS, were used to shape the SMS.The SMS features three spheres of management practices – risk assessment and management, driver risk management and safety culture management. Drawing from the literature, a dynamic model of a safety management system is presented and explained. The original aim of this thesis research has been met, providing an evidence-based safety management system that is likely to reduce crash and injury risk when applied to heavy vehicle transport operations.
