This report provides one-way frequencies for all the vehicles in UMTRI’s file of Trucks Involved in Fatal Accidents (TIFA), 2002. The 2002 TIFA file is a census of all medium and heavy trucks involved in a fatal accident in the United States. The TIFA database provides coverage of all medium and heavy trucks recorded in the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) file. TIFA combines vehicle, accident, and occupant records from FARS with information about the physical configuration and operating authority of the truck from the TIFA survey.
