This study aims to determine the prevalence of alcohol among injured road traffic crash victims (motor vehicle drivers, motorcycle riders, and pedestrians) admitted three major health centers in Cameroon (one Douala two Yaoundé). also investigated associations between use some socio-demographic injury characteristics users, such as gender age, level education, religion, type user, time day week...

Significant trends in the vehicle industry are autonomous driving, micromobility, electrification and increased use of shared mobility solutions. These new automation classes lead to a larger number occupant positions, interiors load directions. As safety systems interact with protect occupants, it is essential place human, its variability vulnerability, at center design operation these systems...

The strong prevalence of human error as a crash causation factor in motorcycle accidents calls for countermeasures that help tackling this issue. Advanced rider assistance systems pursue this goal, providing the riders with support and thus contributing to the prevention of crashes. However, the systems can only enhance riding safety if the riders use them. For this reason, acceptance is a deci...

The role of powered two-wheeler (PTW) transport from the perspective a more sustainable mobility system is undermined by associated high injury risk due to crashes. Motorcycle-based active safety systems promise avoid or mitigate many these crashes suffered PTW riders. Despite this, most are still only in prototype phase and understanding which have greatest chance reducing an important step pr...

Introduction. The goal of this study was to determine the preventive effect on head injury by helmet type: full face helmet (FFH), open face helmet (OFH), and half-coverage helmet (HCH). Methods. This is a retrospective observational study of motorcycle crash victims between June 2012 and May 2015 in a rural town in Korea. We performed multiple linear regression to predict the effect of each ty...

This study investigates the elastoplastic deformation behaviour of a motorcycle frame under quasi-static mechanical loading. We present novel test rig to analyse integrity four different load configurations. These configurations reproduce longitudinal forces, lateral torques and bending moments that act on in normal operation as braking, acceleration or cornering. Additionally, represent loads ...

While the use of protective clothing has been shown to reduce the risk of injury for motorcycle riders, not all protective clothing performs the same in crashes. A European standard for motorcycle protective clothing (EN13595) was released in 2002. Riders that use clothing approved to this Standard should expect good protection. This standard specifies four zones in motorcycle clothing with dif...

Several studies have shown that European police crash reports provide different detail degrees of work zone crash-related data. In this sense, the present study aims to verify possibility identifying significant risk factors involved in occurrence road crashes with casualties, based on official data usually available, through a descriptive, binary logistic, and probit regression statistical ana...
