Identification of factors increasing the risk of pedestrian death in road accidents involving a pedestrian with a motor vehicle
2023
Walking is a basic form of activity for every human being and has many advantages, including health, economic and environmental benefits. Every journey made using various means of transport begins and ends on foot. As is well known, the group of road users particularly exposed to the risk of serious injury in road accidents, apart from cyclists, also includes pedestrians. These are the so-called vulnerable road users. Pedestrians are a group of road users that is often deprecated by many drivers of motor vehicles, but very important in road traffic. Pedestrian injuries and pedestrian fatalities have enormous social and economic consequences. The problem of high pedes-trian risk on Polish ro…
Multivariate statistical analysis for exploring road crash-related factors in the Franche-Comté region of France
2021
Understanding and modelling road crash data is crucial in fulfilling safety goals by helping national authorities to take necessary measures to reduce crash frequency and severity. This work aims at giving a multivariate statistical analysis of road crash data from the French region of Franche-Comte with special attention to road crash gravity. The first step for this multivariate analysis was to perform Multiple Correspondence Analysis in order to assess associations between the road crash injury and several important accident-related factors and circumstances. Log-linear models are used next in order to detect associations between road crash severity and related factors such as al-cohol/d…
Infrastructural and Human Factors Affecting Safety Outcomes of Cyclists
2018
The increasing number of registered road crashes involving cyclists during the last decade, and the high proportion of road crashes resulting in severe injuries and fatalities among cyclists constitutes a global issue for community health, urban development, and sustainability. Nowadays, the incidence of many risk factors for road crashes of cyclists remains largely unexplained. Given the importance of this issue, the present study has been conducted with the aim of determining relationships between infrastructural, human factors and safety outcomes of cyclists. Objectives: This study aimed, first, to examine the relationship between key infrastructural and human factors present in cycling,…
