Bicycle Rider Behavior and Crash Involvement in Australia

Bicycle Rider Control: a Balancing Act

Single-bicycle crash types and characteristics

Most research on cyclist safety is focused on bicycle motor vehicle crashes. Only a few studies address single-bicycle crashes (i.e. a fall or obstacle collision), in spite of the fact that most cyclists admitted to hospitals are single-bicycle crash victims. This study developed a categorization of single-bicycle crash types. A draft categorization was developed based on the scarce literature ...

Motorcycle rider conspicuity and crash related injury: case-control study.

OBJECTIVE To investigate whether the risk of motorcycle crash related injuries is associated with the conspicuity of the driver or vehicle. DESIGN Population based case-control study. SETTING Auckland region of New Zealand from February 1993 to February 1996. PARTICIPANTS 463 motorcycle drivers (cases) involved in crashes leading to hospital treatment or death; 1233 motorcycle drivers (co...

Database improvements for motor vehicle/bicycle crash analysis

BACKGROUND Bicycling is healthy but needs to be safer for more to bike. Police crash templates are designed for reporting crashes between motor vehicles, but not between vehicles/bicycles. If written/drawn bicycle-crash-scene details exist, these are not entered into spreadsheets. OBJECTIVE To assess which bicycle-crash-scene data might be added to spreadsheets for analysis. METHODS Police ...

Mapping Bicycle Crash Risk Patterns on the Local Scale

Currently, mainly aggregated statistics are used for bicycle crash risk calculations. Thus, the understanding of spatial patterns at local scale levels remains vague. Using an agent-based flow model and a bicycle crash database covering 10 continuous years of observation allows us to calculate and map the crash risk on various spatial scales for the city of Salzburg (Austria). In doing so, we d...
