Recent ARRB Research on Heavy Vehicle Safety
Journal of Road Safety, 2011 Deaths from heavy vehicle crashes represent 16% of the national road toll, with an estimated cost to society of $2 billion per year. The future will see a significant growth in road freight transport, and so this problem is likely to increase. This paper

Earth-to-orbit launch for vehicles for manned Mars mission application [PDF]
Manned Mars missions (MMMs) will require payloads to low Earth orbit (LEO) much heavier and larger than can be accommodated with the Shuttle. Three typical launch vehicles are described that could possibly satisfy the MMM needs.
