Pedestrian crossing location influences injury severity in urban areas.
BACKGROUND Pedestrian incidents represent an increasing proportion of serious injuries resulting from motor vehicle collisions in Canada. However, few studies have examined the effect of pedestrian crossing location in urban areas on injury severity. The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between pedestrian-motor vehicle collision injury severity and crossing location. ...
متن کاملPedestrian Injury Severity in Automobile Crashes
This paper analyzes pedestrian injury severity from automobile crashes at signalized intersections in a medium-size city. It estimates an ordered logit model of injury severity and finds that vehicle type, gender, land-use, speed limit, traffic volume, the presence of sidewalks and visual-obstruction significantly explain pedestrian injury severity in vehiclepedestrian crashes at signalized int...
متن کاملPedestrian crashes: higher injury severity and mortality rate for light truck vehicles compared with passenger vehicles.
INTRODUCTION During the last two decades changes in vehicle design and increase in the number of the light truck vehicles (LTVs) and vans have led to changes in pedestrian injury profile. Due to the dynamic nature of the pedestrian crashes biomechanical aspects of collisions can be better evaluated in field studies. DESIGN AND SETTING s: The Pedestrian Crash Data Study, conducted from 1994 to...
متن کاملThe correlation between pedestrian injury severity in real-life crashes and Euro NCAP pedestrian test results.
OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to estimate the correlation between Euro NCAP pedestrian rating scores and injury outcome in real-life car-to-pedestrian crashes, with special focus on long-term disability. Another aim was to determine whether brake assist (BA) systems affect the injury outcome in real-life car-to-pedestrian crashes and to estimate the combined effects in injury reduc...
متن کاملCorrelation between pedestrian injury severity in real-life crashes and Euro NCAP pedestrian test results
In Germany the number of casualties in passenger car to pedestrian crashes has been reduced by a considerable amount of 40% as regards fatalities and 25% with regard to seriously injured pedestrians since the year 2001. Similar trends can be seen in other European countries. The reasons for that positive development are still under investigation. As infrastructural or behavioral changes do in g...
