OBJECTIVE To test whether a full moon contributes to motorcycle related deaths. DESIGN Population based, individual level, double control, cross sectional analysis. SETTING Nighttime (4 pm to 8 am), United States. PARTICIPANTS 13 029 motorcycle fatalities throughout the United States, 1975 to 2014 (40 years). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE Motorcycle fatalities during a full moon. RESULTS 13 02...

The purposes of this study are to test and verify a risk perception scale among Vietnamese motorcyclists using Cronbach's Alpha coefficient, Exploratory Factor analysis (EFA), Confirmatory Analysis (CFA) through self-reported questionnaire. is established measure the in Hanoi. consists 14 items, which divided into three factors: Worry Concern, Probability Assessments, Cognition Danger level. Th...

To effectively diagnose the deterministic faults of a LPRE ground-testing bed, the fault diagnosis method based on PCA and SOM is proposed. The dimension reduction process of PCA not only reduces data size, but also reduces noise influence. It also implements a visualization of fault status identification and fault variable orientation by SOM. Simulation and real fault data results indicate tha...

One of the factors high traffic accidents is growing rate vehicles. In Indonesia, that occur are dominated by two-wheeled vehicles, namely motorcycles and often involve young drivers. causes adolescent involvement in aggressive driving behavior which can be influenced moral disengagement. This quantitative study aims to determine role disengagement on motorcyclists. The hypothesis this research...

"Floating shoulder" is a rare injury complex resulting from high-energy blunt force trauma to the shoulder, resulting in scapulothoracic dissociation. It is commonly associated with catastrophic neurovascular injury. Two cases of motorcyclists with floating shoulder injuries are described.

In relative terms, Spanish motorcyclists are more likely to be involved in crashes than other drivers and this tendency is constantly increasing. The objective of this study is to identify the factors that are related to being an offender in motorcycle accidents. A binary logit model is used to differentiate between offender and non-offender motorcyclists. A motorcyclist was considered to be of...

While many studies examine the mean score differences of psychological determinants between heterogeneous driver groups, this study reveals a structural discrepancy in a causal behavioral framework. Using young motorcyclists (ages 18-28) as subjects, this study investigates the various roles of key influential factors in determining risky driving behavior. Multi-group analysis of structural equ...

BACKGROUND Vehicle accidents in Greece are among the leading causes of death and the primary one in young people. The mechanism of injury influences the patterns of injury in victims of vehicle accidents. OBJECTIVE Identification and analysis of injury profiles of motor-vehicle trauma patients in a Greek level I trauma centre, by road-user category. PATIENTS AND METHODS The trauma registry ...

The project aimed to investigate how hazard perception and responding is affected by level of experience as a motorcycle rider and to assess the extent to which hazard perception and responding can be improved by specific training. The literature review showed that car drivers with fewer crashes and older or more experienced drivers respond more quickly on hazard perception tasks and that at le...

The objective of this research is to compare different neural network based classifiers for the accurate and reliable assessment of the status of specific fault conditions in a system with multiple fault conditions present. The proposed strategy utilizes features extracted from vibrational data and employs selforganising maps (SOMs), radial basis function (RBF) and multi-layer perceptron (MLP) ...
