Power-Two Wheelers Critical Risk Factors: A European Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper summarizes the results of a large European project on the critical risk factors for Power-Two-Wheeler (PTW) safety. Analyses conducted in both a macroscopic and microscopic level in Greece, Spain, Italy, Great Britain, Austria, Finland and Germany revealed a set of critical risk factors as well as their ranking of importance. Among the research questions treated are what are the most relevant PTW accident configurations at European level and why accidents of those configurations take place. The identified critical risk factors cover a wide range of interactions and form important knowledge for structuring guidelines dedicated to PTW users. Moreover the analyses conducted add value to the manner future in depth analyses and accidentology studies should be conducted.

Transport activities contribute significantly to air polluting emissions in all the world. In order to estimate the emissions from road transport in Campania (Italy), in this paper the COPERT methodology was employed with a bottomup approach, focusing at regional level instead of national, then including local parameters relating to fleet, driving pattern, average vehicle speed, fuel consumptio...
متن کاملWaiting Endurance Time Estimation of Electric Two-Wheelers at Signalized Intersections
The paper proposed a model for estimating waiting endurance times of electric two-wheelers at signalized intersections using survival analysis method. Waiting duration times were collected by video cameras and they were assigned as censored and uncensored data to distinguish between normal crossing and red-light running behavior. A Cox proportional hazard model was introduced, and variables rev...
متن کاملPowered two-wheeler drivers' risk of hitting a pedestrian in towns.
INTRODUCTION The risk of collision between pedestrians and powered two-wheelers is poorly understood today. The objective of this research is to determine the risk for powered two-wheeler drivers of hitting and injuring a pedestrian per kilometer driven in towns and to compare this risk with that run by four-wheeled vehicle drivers. METHOD Using the bodily injury accidents recorded by the pol...
