Significant risk factors that influence the occurrence of heavy vehicle accidents have been explored in numerous studies order to lower injury severity traffic accidents. It is imperative explore road sections with a high accident by considering significant consequences such for users, despite low number vehicles flow. To address this, this study proposes method predict clustering hotspots on b...

Bicyclists represent a population with high risk of traffic injuries since they are unprotected in vehicle collisions. A study was conducted with an in-depth analysis of bicyclist accidents in China and Germany. The analysis is to identify the hazard of bicyclists in Changsha and to propose the way to reduce the number of these accidents and also severity of injuries. The analysis was carried o...

This study aims to explore the relationship between severity of marine accidents and influencing factors. An ordered logistic regression model is used reflect these factors using worldwide accident investigation reports in period 2010–2019. The obtained results show that positively associated with sinking accidents, far away from port, strong wind, heavy sea, current and/or good visibility. Wit...

OBJECTIVES To examine the pattern and severity of injuries sustained by children following micro-scooter (MS) accidents, and to document the extent of use of protective clothing in these accidents. METHODS Prospective data collection on all children with MS related accidents from January to June 2001. Demographic data were collected, including the mechanism of injury, place of accident, use o...

OBJECTIVE During Ramadan, adult Muslims stop eating and drinking during the daytime. Fasting may cause physiological habitual and behavioral changes that may cause an increase in the rate of road traffic accidents (RTA) during Ramadan. The aim of this study was to see whether there is a real increase in the rate and severity of patients treated secondary to RTA during Ramadan. METHODS We enro...

In this paper, the principal concepts of the energy flow/barrier analysis are used to define an accident as a series of events including failure of the control and protective barriers, which results exposure of a target to a hazardous agent. “Barrier structure” is introduced, as a combination of serial and parallel barriers, to calculate the severity of risks of accidents. It is defined for eac...

This paper proposes an econometric structure for injury severity analysis at the level of individual accidents that recognizes the ordinal nature of the categories in which injury severity are recorded, while also allowing flexibility in capturing the effects of explanatory variables on each ordinal category and allowing heterogeneity in the effects of contributing factors due to the moderating...
