• 
  Summarise the 1990-99 FCD data and other estimates, for underrun crashes with rigid and articulated heavy commercial vehicles over 7.5 tonnes, in to the number of fatal, serious and minor injuries,
  
• 
  Proportion injuries relating to front, side or rear underrun using State crash databases,
  
• 
  Note the cost of a single fatality, serious injury and minor injury for passenger vehicles and split this in to trauma cost (injuries) and non-trauma cost (property),
  
• 
  Multiply the non-trauma cost by 1.5 for the cost of a single heavy vehicle fatality,
  
• 
  Convert this to 2005 dollars,
  
• 
  Multiply this by the summarised injury data on numbers to get an overall cost.
