Risk decomposition

Five-factor breakdown of the SafeNY SNRS for this carrier, used to explain the composite score.

Driven primarily by crash rate at 3.4/10, below the mid- cohort median of 4.5.

Method: how this carrier's SafeNY SNRS was computed(expand for carrier-specific walkthrough)

The five factors below come from Ron English Trucking Inc's actual FMCSA records. Each factor is a 0–10 score; the composition produces a 0–10 SNRS smoothed against the prior month's value (α = 0.40). The Bayesian step below leaves exposure_M-PUD symbolic; the closed-form denominator and a worked example are on /methodology#shrinkage.

Step 1 — Bayesian-shrunk crash rate

This carrier has 2 documented crashes in the past 5 years (0 fatal). The cohort prior (mean fatal rate for similar-sized fleets) is 0.304 events per million power-unit-days; after Bayesian shrinkage with prior strength w₀ = 10, this carrier's adjusted rate is 0.301.

r^shrunk  =  10⋅0.304  +  210  +  exposureM-PUD  =  0.301\hat{r}_{\text{shrunk}} \;=\; \frac{10 \cdot 0.304 \;+\; 2}{10 \;+\; \text{exposure}_{\text{M-PUD}}} \;=\; 0.301

Step 2 — Five-factor SNRSraw composition (B-method)

SNRSraw  =  0.60⋅max⁡(C,N,M)  +  0.30⋅median⁡(C,N,M,D)  +  0.10⋅SSNRS_{raw} \;=\; 0.60 \cdot \max(C, N, M) \;+\; 0.30 \cdot \operatorname{median}(C, N, M, D) \;+\; 0.10 \cdot S
  =  0.60⋅max⁡(3.4,3.2,2.3)  +  0.30⋅median⁡(3.4,3.2,2.3,2.6)  +  0.10⋅0.0  =  2.9\quad\;=\; 0.60 \cdot \max(3.4, 3.2, 2.3) \;+\; 0.30 \cdot \operatorname{median}(3.4, 3.2, 2.3, 2.6) \;+\; 0.10 \cdot 0.0 \;=\; 2.9

C Crash 3.4 · N Negligence 3.2 · M Mechanical 2.3 · D Driver 2.6 · S Stability 0.0

Step 3 — EMA smoothing against last month's value

SNRS  =  α⋅SNRSraw  +  (1−α)⋅SNRSprev,α=0.40SNRS \;=\; \alpha \cdot SNRS_{raw} \;+\; (1-\alpha) \cdot SNRS_{\text{prev}}, \quad \alpha = 0.40

For Ron English Trucking Inc: SNRSraw = 2.9 → smoothed SNRS = 2.9. (Prior month's smoothed value is the EMA weight; the first month of data uses raw without smoothing.)
