Indicators of injury severity of truck crashes using random parameter logit modeling

Crashes involving trucks were more severe and often results in fatal injury crashes. There is an innumerable number of explanatory factors that play an essential role for the accidents involving freight vehicles to happen like roadway design, weather conditions, and driver perception. The Torkham bo...
