INTRODUCTION: Wearing a helmet reduces the risk of head injuries substantially in the event of a motorcycle crash. Countries around the world are committed to promoting helmet use, but the progress has been slow and uneven. There is an urgent need fo...
The driver in road hypnosis has not only some external characteristics, but also some internal characteristics. External features have obvious manifestations and can be directly observed. Internal features do not have obvious manifestations and canno...
Rear-end (RE) crashes are notably prevalent and pose a substantial risk on freeways. This paper explores the correlation between speed difference among the following and leading vehicles (Δν) and RE crash risk. Three joint models, comprising both unc...
Speeding, a risky act of driving a vehicle at a speed exceeding the posted limit, has consistently emerged as a leading contributor to traffic fatalities. Identifying the risk factors associated with injury severity in speeding-related crashes is ess...
One of the main objectives in improving the quality of life for individuals with disabilities, especially those experiencing mobility issues such as the elderly, is to enhance their day-to-day mobility. Enabling easy mobility contributes to their ind...
Examining the relationship between streetscape features and road traffic accidents is pivotal for enhancing roadway safety. While previous studies have primarily focused on the influence of street design characteristics, sociodemographic features, an...
A multi-objective optimization method based on an injury prediction model is proposed to address the increasingly prominent safety issues for e-bike riders in Chinese road traffic. This method aims to enhance the protective effect of vehicle front-en...
The random parameters Generalized Linear Model (GLM) is frequently used to model speeding characteristics and capture the heterogenous effects of factors. However, this statistical approach is seldom employed for prediction and generalization due to ...
The causes of traffic violations by elderly drivers are different from those of other age groups. To reduce serious traffic violations that are more likely to cause serious traffic crashes, this study divided the severity of traffic violations into t...
Harsh driving events such as harsh brakings (HBs) and harsh accelerations (HAs) are promising Surrogate Safety Measures, already extensively utilised in road safety research. However, their occurrence relative to normal driving conditions has not bee...
