OBJECTIVES We assessed whether policies designed to safeguard young motorcyclists would be effective given shifts in ownership toward high-powered motorcycles. METHODS We investigated population-wide motor vehicle driver and motorcyclist casualties (excluding passengers) recorded in Britain between 2002 and 2009. To adjust for exposure and measure individual risk, we used the estimated number...

background: motorcycle has been one of the vital modes of transportation worldwide. it is quite difficult to identify the risk factors that affect muscular discomfort among motorcyclist due to not much research having been carried out on the motorcyclist. the purpose of this study was to have a better understanding of the risk factors of muscular discomfort among motorcyclist due to motorcycle ...

The aim of the study was to determine the effect on liver cirrhosis and driver and motorcyclist mortality of changing the alcohol outlet rates in New South Wales relative to the adjacent control State of Victoria. A longitudinal study design with a six year before period (1968-1973) and a nine year after period (1974-1982) was used. A 10.5% relative increase in the total outlet rate for New Sou...

Traffic safety mandates are typically designed to reduce the harmful externalities of risky behaviors. We consider whether motorcycle helmet laws also reduce a beneficial externality by decreasing the supply of viable organ donors. Our central estimates show that organ donations resulting from fatal motor vehicle accidents increase by 10 percent when states repeal helmet laws. Two features of t...

This paper deals with the development of cooling system for motorcycle helmet using thermoelectric technology. The system consists mainly of a heat sink and thermoelectric module. When electrical voltage is applied to the thermoelectric module, it will create a temperature difference across the thermoelectric module. This phenomenon is also known as Peltier effect, is being used to utilize elec...

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...

OBJECTIVES Bicyclists and motorcyclists contribute substantially to the morbidity and mortality rates of road crash casualties. The objective of the study was to investigate the crash characteristics of bicyclist and motorcyclist casualties presented to hospitals in Taiwan resulting from crashes. METHODS By using linked data from The National Traffic Crash Dataset and the National Health Insu...

The quantity of motor-bikers has dramatically expanded in Bangladesh, with the presentation ridesharing business. Consequently, crashes involving a motorcycle fatalities and injuries are also increasing. One proven most effective safety measures for biker is use helmet. But there no study on helmets attitude users to This research conducts an in-depth analysis risk using reported crash records ...
