Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate characteristics associated with farm vehicle and farm labor transportation-related roadway crashes in the state of Florida. Agricultural roadway crashes related to these vehicles have not been explored in Florida.

Methods: The data for this study comes from the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) for the years 2013-2021. The data is recorded by the Florida Highway Patrol when a vehicular crash has occurred. The data is then coded to allow the selection of farm and agricultural-related vehicles. Specifically, this study focuses on farm labor transport vehicles and farm vehicles (e.g. farm tractors).

Results: There were 744 farm vehicle- and 209 farm labor transportation-related crashes during the 9-year study period. The farm labor transport vehicle crashes involved a total of 420 vehicles and 1,329 individuals, and the farm vehicle crashes involved 1,458 vehicles and 1,652 individuals. Injury risk for non-farm labor transportation vehicle occupants was significantly higher than injury risk for farm labor transportation vehicle occupants.

Conclusions: The average fatality rate for farm vehicle-involved (2.1 fatalities per 100 crashes) and farm labor transportation vehicle-involved crashes (2.9 fatalities per 100 crashes) were much higher than the overall FL roadway crash fatality rate (0.45 fatalities per 100 crashes).

农用车和农业劳动力运输相关事故的探索性分析。

目的:本研究的目的是调查农用车和农工运输相关道路碰撞的相关特征。与农业车辆和农业劳动力运输有关的农业道路交通事故尚未在佛罗里达州进行研究。方法:本研究的数据来自2013-2021年佛罗里达州公路安全和机动车辆部(FLHSMV)。当车辆发生碰撞时，佛罗里达公路巡逻队会记录下这些数据。对数据进行编码，以便选择农场和农业相关车辆。具体而言，本研究的重点是农业劳动力运输车辆和农用车辆(如农用拖拉机)。结果:在9年的研究期间，有744起农用车和209起农工运输相关的撞车事故。农用运输车辆事故共涉及车辆420辆、人员1329人，农用运输车辆事故共涉及车辆1458辆、人员1652人。非农业劳务运输车辆乘员的伤害风险显著高于农业劳务运输车辆乘员的伤害风险。结论:农用车辆的平均死亡率(每100次事故中有2.1人死亡)和农用运输车辆的平均死亡率(每100次事故中有2.9人死亡)远高于佛罗里达州的整体道路事故死亡率(每100次事故中有0.45人死亡)。
