Severity of motorcycle crashes in Calgary

Accident Analysis & Prevention, 2012
Motorcycle riders would be more vulnerable in the event of a crash because of their lack of protection which would often result in them suffering more severe injuries than car drivers. This paper estimated three crash severity models to identify factors that contributed to increasing the severity of motorcycle involved crashes in the Canadian City of ...

Crash momentum index and closing velocity as crash severity index

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part D: Journal of Automobile Engineering, 2019
The velocity change Δ V of a vehicle subject to a collision, widely recognized as an efficient crash severity indicator, is a typical ‘a posteriori’ parameter, not generally known until the crash phase has been reconstructed. Δ V is the result of a combination of factors, regarding the impact velocities of the colliding vehicles and the geometry of ...

Method for Modeling Crash Severity with Observable Crash Data

Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2014
This paper presents a new method to rank the severity of an impact with a roadside hazard that is based on observable crash data. This method has been incorporated into the third update of the Roadside Safety Analysis Program. The equivalent fatal crash cost ratio (EFCCR) is a dimensionless value that represents the severity of a crash on a scale of ...

Observed and unobserved correlation between crash avoidance manoeuvers and crash severity

International Journal of Injury Control and Safety Promotion, 2015
Understanding drivers' responses to critical events, analyzing drivers' abilities to perform corrective manoeuvers, and investigating the correlation between these manoeuvers and crash severity provide the opportunity of increasing the knowledge about how to avoid crash occurrence or at least mitigate crash severity.

Factors Influencing Intersection Crash Severity

2013
The objective of this paper is to develop intersection crash severity prediction model using ordered probit model. Motor vehicle fatalities is reported the major cause of death for people aging from 15 to 44. Moreover, intersections are recognized as the most hazardous locations on the roads.

Crash Severity Methods

2018
Abstract Purpose – This chapter gives an overview of methods for defining and analysing crash severity. Methodology – Commonly used methods for defining crash severity are surveyed and reviewed. Factors commonly found to be associated with crash severity are discussed. Approaches for formulating and estimating models

Median barrier crash severity: Some new insights

Accident Analysis & Prevention, 2010
Median barrier is used to prevent cross-median crashes on divided highways. Although it is well documented that crash frequencies increase after installing median barrier, little is known about median barrier crash severity outcomes. The present study estimated a nested logit model of median barrier crash severity using 5 years of data from rural ...
