Advances in safety research--trying to improve the collective understanding of motor vehicle crash causes and contributing factors--rest upon the pursuit of numerous lines of research inquiry. The research community has focused considerable attention on analytical methods development (negative binomial models, simultaneous equations, etc.), on better experimental designs (before-after studies, ...

The study contributes to literature on bicycle safety by building on the traditional count regression models to investigate factors affecting bicycle crashes at the Traffic Analysis Zone (TAZ) level. TAZ is a traffic related geographic entity which is most frequently used as spatial unit for macroscopic crash risk analysis. In conventional count models, the impact of exogenous factors is restri...

background and objectives: in many studies, chronic diseases are associated with incidence of driving accident. the main objective of the present study is investigation the effect of physical and mental disorders status of bus drivers on the occurrence of crashes. materials and methods: this research is a cross-sectional and descriptive-analytical study that was performed on 665 bus drivers' pu...

The Joint Transportation Research Program serves as a vehicle for INDOT collaboration with higher education institutions and industry in Indiana to facilitate innovation that results in continuous improvement in the planning, design, construction, operation, management and economic efficiency of the Indiana transportation infrastructure. NOTICE The contents of this report reflect the views of t...

the present research is concerned with the determination of ductility, over-strength and response modification factors of coupled steel shear wall frames. three structural models with various numbers of stories, bay width and coupling beam height were analyzed using static pushover and incremental nonlinear dynamic analyses. the ductility, over-strength and response modification factors for the...

60% of motor vehicle crash fatalities took place because crashes are not reported within the golden hour which is a deciding factor weather person will survive or not. An accident can take through number external factors like road rage, poor infrastructure etc. This paper proposes detection algorithm be detected irrespective reason crash. GPS co-ordinates, gyroscope, magnetometer, accelerometer...

Crash-dynamics research has always concentrated significantly in the safety, survivability of passengers a car crash. To identify capability energy absorption crash box, thin-walled structure will be modeled and simulated by ABAQUS software. Investigate influence material, cross-sectional, thickness factors on capacity tube, using MCDM – Multi-Criteria Decision-Making to get best option testing...

In recent years the development and use of crash prediction models for roadway safety analyses have received substantial attention. These models, also known as Safety Performance Functions (SPFs), relate the expected crash frequency of roadway elements (intersections, road segments, on-ramps) to traffic volumes and other geometric and operational characteristics. A commonly practiced approach f...
