Journal Article
Speed and road accidents : an evaluation of the power model
TL;DR: The relationship between speed and road safety is a highly controversial and emotionally charged subject as discussed by the authors, and the effects of changes in speed on the number of road accidents or road accident victims are investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
The non-linearity of risk and the promotion of environmentally sustainable transport
TL;DR: It is found that for very large transfers of trips from motor vehicles to walk or cycling, a reduction of the total number of accidents is indeed possible and shows that the high injury rate for pedestrians and cyclists in the current transport system does not necessarily imply that encouraging walking or cycling rather than driving will lead to more accidents.

Journal ArticleDOI
Risk of road accident associated with the use of drugs: a systematic review and meta-analysis of evidence from epidemiological studies.
