چکیده
• Traffic fatalities trend analysis is carried out for Bengaluru city based on seven years (2011-2017) road accident data. Who-hit-whom matrices developed signify that two-wheelers and pedestrian alone accounts more than 80% of fatalities. The Fatality-risk model to assess the change in traffic eight growth scenarios. high proportion distance traveled by bus identified as best scenario reducing considered cyclist ratio 3:1. Transport measures focusing shift towards public transportation increased cycling share could improve safety. Introduction: Road are externalities associated with urbanization, motorization, infrastructure development. Globally, low middle-income countries contribute 90% total accidents. India's fourth-largest populous has exponential vehicle growth, similar other cities a developing economy. Lack safe support this leads an risk users resulting Method: It crucial identify vulnerable (VRUs) fatality would help policymakers adopt adequate reduce their risk. data from First Information Reports (FIRs) collected analyzed current study. identifying VRUs. Further, risk-based estimate risk, followed sensitivity different transport Results: main results study are: 1) Increase observed increase motorization 2) Pedestrians most user highest 3) Fatality showed maximum reduction mode level 4) Increasing cycle helped further decreasing number scenario. Conclusion: All favor sustainable policies Practical applications: In light investigation, paper provides insight into strategies decision-makers enhance safety

Protecting Vulnerable Road Users from Injury
In its latest global assessment of road safety, the World Health Organization (WHO) reminded us that half of the 1.2 million fatalities occurring each year on the world’s roads concern vulnerable road users (VRUs), with children and elderly being overrepresented among victims [1]. ‘‘Vulnerable road user’’ is a term applied to those most at risk in traffic, i.e. those unprotected by an outside s...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to assess the risk of knee injuries among vulnerable road users, such as pedestrians, bicyclists and motorcyclists. METHODS Two different periods (years 1985-1993 and 1995-2003) were compared. Inclusion criteria were furthermore Abbreviated Injury Scale knee 2-3 (AIS(knee)). Technical analysis assessed the type of collision, direction and speed as well...
متن کاملAutonomous Emergency Braking for Vulnerable Road Users
A simple, but realistic, model of an autonomous emergency brake (AEB) system was studied. Using Matlab, the model was applied to 543 car‐to‐pedestrian and 607 car‐to‐bicyclist real‐world collisions gathered from the highly detailed German In‐Depth Accident Study Pre‐Crash Matrix (GIDAS PCM) and weighted for representativeness. All collisions were to the front of the car. The aim was ...
