Journal ArticleDOI
A mixed generalized ordered response model for examining pedestrian and bicyclist injury severity level in traffic crashes
TL;DR: The mixed generalized ordered response logit (MGORL) model as discussed by the authors was proposed to examine non-motorist injury severity in accidents in the USA, using the 2004 General Estimates System (GES) database.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bicyclist injury severities in bicycle–motor vehicle accidents
TL;DR: The results imply that bicyclist fault is more closely correlated with greater bicyclist injury severity than driver fault, which supports the commonly used 30km/h speed limit in residential neighborhoods.
Countermeasures That Work: A Highway Safety Countermeasure Guide for State Highway Safety Offices [Second Edition, 2007]
James H. Hedlund,W. A. Leaf +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a basic reference to assist State Highway Safety Offices (SHSO) in selecting effective, science-based traffic safety countermeasures for major highway safety problem areas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative analysis of vehicle-bicyclist and vehicle-pedestrian accidents in Japan
TL;DR: Bicyclist and pedestrian injuries in collisions with vehicles in Japan were investigated based on national and in-depth accident data analyses and mathematical simulations to find out the types of leg injuries sustained by bicyclists and their causes differ from those seen for pedestrians.
Journal ArticleDOI

Richard Mayou,Bridget Bryant +1 more
TL;DR: There were marked differences in injury pattern and immediate reaction between road user groups, and a third of all groups described chronic adverse consequences which were principally psychological, social and legal.

Journal ArticleDOI
Bicycle-associated head injuries and deaths in the United States from 1984 through 1988. How many are preventable?
TL;DR: Universal use of helmets by all bicyclists could have prevented as many as 2500 deaths and 757,000 head injuries, ie, one death every day and one head injury every 4 minutes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Childhood injury deaths: national analysis and geographic variations.
TL;DR: Drowning rate among Whites was almost twice that of Blacks for ages 1-4, but in the 10-14 year age group the drowning rate for Blacks was over three times that of Whites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bicyclist deaths and fatality risk patterns
TL;DR: The results suggest substantially higher fatality risks for males, for bicyclist over the age of 44, and for bicyclists who ride after dark.
Pedestrian and bicycle crash types of the early 1990's
TL;DR: The purpose of this research was to apply the basic NHTSA pedestrian and bicyclist typologies to a sample of recent crashes and to refine and update the crash type distributions with particular attention to roadway and locational factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fatal pedestrian injuries to young children: a different pattern of injury
TL;DR: Prevention of pedestrian injuries in this age group requires strategies aimed at safeguarding the driveway and reassessing the safety of light trucks and vans as family vehicles.
