Background: Motorcyclists are among the most vulnerable groups of road accident victims, who are prone to a growingmortality rate due to the constant rise in the number of accidents. This study was performed to investigate the injurypatterns among motorcyclist trauma patients admitted to Kamyab Hospital, the largest trauma center affiliated withMashhad Univercity of Medical Sc...

Motorcycle protective clothing is designed to protect motorcyclists from injuries during accidents. It helps the motorcyclist and pillion passengers collision acts as a barrier between rider’s skin tarmac surface. Soft tissue trauma common in motorcycle accidents can soft of riders up certain extent Though there are many reasons for road injuries, such uncomfortable clothing, thermally ineffici...

PURPOSE Motorcycle crash helmets do not totally prevent head and facial trauma. The aim of this study was to investigate if protection offered by helmets differs according to helmet type. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this retrospective cohort study, outpatient records of motorcyclists were analyzed for the Facial Injury Severity Scale (FISS), traumatic brain injury (TBI), facial fractures, and he...

BACKGROUND Road traffic injuries (RTIs) are the eighth-leading cause of death worldwide, with low- and middle-income countries sharing a disproportionate number of fatalities. African countries, like Rwanda, carry a higher burden of these fatalities and with increased economic growth, these numbers are expected to rise. We aim to describe the epidemiology of RTIs in Kigali Province, Rwanda and ...

OBJECTIVE Motorcyclist collisions with fixed objects account for a substantial proportion of fatalities in many countries. Biomechanically valid crash test protocols are required to assess the injury potential of different fixed objects to motorcyclists and/or to develop safety devices that ameliorate this injury risk. The aim of the present article is to provide field-observed injury data pert...

Accident analysis and prevention are helpful to ensure the sustainable development of transportation. The aim this research was investigate factors associated with severity low-visibility-related rural single-vehicle crashes. Firstly, a latent class clustering model implemented partition whole-dataset into relatively homogeneous sub-dataset. Then, spatial random parameters logit established for...

Motorcycle is among the most popular and important modes of land transportation in tropical developing countries like Sri Lanka. Yet, research on effect motorcycles traffic safety Lanka limited. Investigation risk factors contributory causes motorcycle crashes using data sourced from Police records was objective this research. Police-reported crash contain details at all severity levels that go...

At un-signalised at-grade intersections or roundabouts, motorcyclists have to make a quick decision manoeuvre and avoid crash. Many studies show that risk-taking behaviour is the major cause of accidents in young motorcyclists. In this study, we analysed various factors are involved at intersections. Online questionnaires were distributed among university college students Islamabad Rawalpindi. ...
