Analysis of FY 79 Army Motor Vehicle Accidents

Abstract

The analysis found Army motor vehicle (AMV) accidents to be the most frequent type of accident reported in fiscal year 79. Driver error was involved in most (71%) of the accidents. The accidents were divided almost equally between commercial/administrative (45%) and tactical (51%) vehicles. However, accidents involving tactical vehicles were much more severe in term's of injuries and cost. Separate analyses of tactical vehicles making the largest contribution to AMV accidents are presented.
