Note: Heavy vehicle crashes cost 50% more than passenger car crashes (Neville Inquiry). There are two components in the cost resulting from a heavy vehicle crash, one relates to the injury to persons and other relates to heavy vehicle damages and immobility. The BTRE Report provides a value (fatal, serious and minor injuries) while Sweatman et al, 1995, Carney, 1991 and the Neville Inquiry provide values for the second component. They range from 1.5 to 2 times that for a passenger vehicle crash. This analysis uses a value of 1.5 times that of a passenger vehicle crash. Heavy vehicle (other than person) = 1.5 times (Passenger vehicle (other than person))
