This study addressed three questions posed by the Virginia General Assembly in HJR 23 with respect to reducing the number and severity of highway crashes involving trucks and other large vehicles stopped on the roadway or shoulder being struck in the rear by passenger vehicles: (1) What spatial perception factors, physiological elements, and psychological ingredients combine to cause or materially contribute to these crashes; (2) What are the characteristics of crashes of this type; (3) What uses and practical countermeasures have the potential to reduce the number and severity of these crashes.
