Abstract
According to the Federal Highways Administration (FHWA) study presented in Office of Highway Policy Information there are 254 million registered motor vehicles in the U.S. Each year this number continues to grow, increasing utilization of the road transportation network. In 2009 alone there were an estimated 2.2 million injuries related to traffic incidents and 33,808 fatalities from these injuries. In addition, traffic incident related fatalities ranked sixth in the list of preventable fatalities in the U.S.
