Analysis of fatal train-pedestrian collisions in metropolitan Chicago 2004-2012.
The paper analyzes spatial and temporal data on fatal train-pedestrian collisions in the Chicago metropolitan area between 2004 and 2012. In comparing different municipalities within the region, the density of grade crossings and stations is found to increase the frequency of unintentional deaths. However, unintentional deaths do not increase with train volume suggesting that pedestrians may ex...
متن کاملDriver obesity and the risk of fatal injury during traffic collisions.
BACKGROUND Few studies have looked at how obesity affects injury outcomes among vehicle occupants involved in traffic collisions. OBJECTIVE To estimate the association of obesity with death risk among drivers of passenger vehicles aged ≥16 and to examine effect modification by driver sex, driver seat belt use, vehicle type and collision type. METHODS We conducted a matched-pair cohort study...
متن کاملVehicle–pedestrian collisions: validated models for pedestrian impact and projection
The most important factor in pedestrian injuries from vehicle collisions is the impact velocity. In cases where the impact configuration can be ascertained, the most common method now used to determine vehicle speed involves the pedestrian projection distance. The more traditional method of using tyre brakemarks is losing applicability as ABS braking systems becomemore common. The two most comm...
متن کاملEsophageal injury in fatal rear-impact collisions.
Neck injuries resulting from motor vehicle collisions (MVC), often referred to as whiplash trauma and injury, often demonstrate little or no evidence of significant tissue damage. In rare instances, however, serious injury to the anterior neck organ injuries can result from such trauma. The present study describes esophageal injury associated with rear-impact collisions, based on a unique case ...
متن کاملPedestrian Visibility at Night: Effects of Pedestrian Clothing, Driver Age, and Headlamp Beam Setting
Reduced visibility is believed to be a major contributor to night-time pedestrian fatalities. In this study, the ability of drivers to recognize the presence of roadside pedestrians was determined and recognition distances measured using a parallax-based device. Ten young and ten older participants drove at night around a closed road circuit and pressed a button whenever they recognized a pedes...
