Evidence shows enhanced walking environment promotes overall physical activities and further alleviates the risk of chronic diseases and mental disorders. Current walkability research is limited by traditional GIS methods that fail to capture micro-l...

BACKGROUND: Increasing evidence positively links greenspace and physical activity (PA). However, most studies use measures of greenspace, such as satellite-based vegetation indices around the residence, which fail to capture ground-level views and da...
Roundabout safety evaluation in non-lane-based, heterogeneous traffic conditions in low-middle-income countries brings challenges due to unavailable/unreliable crash data, thereby switching to the utilization of safety surrogates. This study employed...
Urban environments significantly shape our well-being, behavior, and overall quality of life. Assessing urban environments, particularly walkability, has traditionally relied on computer vision and machine learning algorithms. However, these approach...
Child bicyclists (14 years old and younger) are among the most vulnerable road users, facing significant risks of crashes that often result in severe injuries or fatalities. This study aims to identify key factors influencing child bicyclist crashes ...
INTRODUCTION: Urban green spaces play a critical role in addressing health issues, ecological challenges, and uneven resource distribution in cities. This study focuses on Wuhan, where low green coverage rates and imbalanced green space allocation po...
Interactions between vehicle-pedestrian at intersections often lead to safety-critical situations. This study aims to model the crash avoidance behaviors of vehicles during interactions with pedestrians in near-miss scenarios, contributing to the dev...
The safety of pedestrians in urban transportation systems has emerged as a significant research topic. As a vulnerable group within this transportation framework, pedestrians encounter heightened safety risks in complex urban road environments. Prote...
The built environment exerts a significant influence on the frequency and severity of traffic accidents. Spatially uniform assumptions on the impacts of built environment factors commonly employed in existing research may lead to inconsistent and con...
INTRODUCTION: This study, based on Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) and multi-source data, aims to construct an interpretable macro-scale analytical framework to explore the factors influencing urban physical activities. Using 290 prefecture-...
