Due to accident severity and the extent of claim payments commuting accidents are a significant expense factor in the German industry. Therefore the aim of the present study was the identification of risk factors for commuting accidents in a German chemical company. A retrospective analysis of commuting accidents recorded between 1990 and 2003 was conducted in a major chemical company in German...

Previous research on motorcycle crashes has shown the frequency and severity of accidents in which a non-priority road user failed to give way to an approaching motorcyclist without seeing him/her, even though the road user had looked in the approaching motorcycle's direction and the motorcycle was visible. These accidents are usually called "looked-but-failed-to-see" (LBFS) accidents. This art...

this article studies the effects of weather on road accidents in saqqez - sanandaj road. saqqez- sanandaj road’s length is 187 km and it is one of the main hazardous roads of the area. in this study, the distribution map of road accidents and the probability of accidents were prepared under every climatic condition (i.e., snowy, frozen, rainy, foggy, and sunny). a database of road accidents o...

Given the current number of road accidents, the aim of many road safety analysts is to identify the main factors that contribute to crash severity. To pinpoint those factors, this paper shows an application that applies some of the methods most commonly used to build decision trees (DTs), which have not been applied to the road safety field before. An analysis of accidents on rural highways in ...

INTRODUCTION This study describes a method for reducing the number of variables frequently considered in modeling the severity of traffic accidents. The method's efficiency is assessed by constructing Bayesian networks (BN). METHOD It is based on a two stage selection process. Several variable selection algorithms, commonly used in data mining, are applied in order to select subsets of variab...

The aim of this study was to use spatial statistics and geographic information systems identify high-risk areas for highway accidents in Nakhon Pathom, Thailand. Secondary data from the Ministry Transport on locations road network between 2021-2022 analyzed using Equivalent Property Damage Only (EPDO), Spatial Autocorrelation, Kernel Density Estimation, hotspot analysis. focused a province Cent...

In many countries, 40–60% of the traffic accidents occur at junctions, making reduction junction paramount to achieving UN Sustainable Development Goals. Japan, road safety guidelines specify proximity between junctions and non-perpendicular angles as two main risk factors behind accidents, yet their impact remains understudied. Using binomial logistic regression models, this study investigates...

OBJECTIVES This prospective cohort study aimed to investigate whether there are differences in health outcomes among persons with mild or moderate injuries who were hospitalised compared with those not hospitalised following a road traffic crash. SETTING Sydney Metropolitan, New South Wales, Australia. PARTICIPANTS Persons aged ≥18 years involved in a motor vehicle crash were surveyed at ba...

Introduction: The great population of about 16 million students in our country and their health problems require more attention to the health of students. Students due to low age and consequently lack of adequate experience are exposed to various types of accidents in schools. Accidents are the leading cause of death in 5 to 17 year old children. The aim of this study was to determine the incid...
