Commercial vehicles are the engine of economic and social development of every society. Traffic accidents involving commercial vehicles usually have more severe consequences due to the mass of commercial vehicles. Monitoring and analysis of traffic safety is an important component of traffic safety management. Continuous increase in the number of vehicles on the road leads to new challenges in increasing traffic safety. In highly developed countries, despite the increase in the number of vehicles on the road, the number of fatalities in traffic accidents is decreasing. In this paper will be presented an analysis of fatal traffic accidents involving commercial vehicles. This analysis refers only to traffic accidents that occurred on the territory of the Republic of Serbia in the period from 2013 to 2018. Data for this analysis were downloaded from the Road traffic safety agency of the Republic of Serbia database. The aim of this paper is to overview the traffic safety of commercial vehicles. Based on this overview, measures will be proposed to reduce traffic accidents involving commercial vehicles.
