Risk assessment in the work environment of adolescents and their attainment of occupational injury or illness as young adult workers
TL;DR: This dissertation aims to provide a history of human rights abuses in the United States from 1989 to 2002, a period chosen in order to explore its roots as well as specific cases up to and including the 2008-2009 financial crisis.

Letter from the Editors--Fourth international symposium on naturalistic driving research.
TL;DR: This collection of papers that were originally presented at the Fourth International Symposium on Naturalistic Driving Research, hosted by the National Surface Transportation Safety Center for Excellence at Virginia Tech, was held in August 2014.
Statistical Modeling for Intersection Decision Support
TL;DR: This project was a component of the Intersection Decision Support (IDS) effort conducted at the University of Minnesota, and it was determined that a 3-year count of crashes after deployment would probably be sufficient to detect any crash reduction effect due to the IDS, although a reliable estimate of the magnitude of this effect would require a longer test period.
Can personality characteristics predict the crash involvement of young drivers
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify personality-related characteristics associated with crashes among young drivers using a prospective and retrospective design and official driver records and a total of 396 young drivers, aged 16 to 24 years, were administered a questionnaire measuring a wide variety of personality characteristics and driving-related factors.

Cautiousness in young rural and semi-rural drivers: Are there influencing factors?
TL;DR: Targeted road safety campaigns for young rural drivers may be needed which focus upon promoting specific rural road hazard perception and awareness of the implications of speed and changed road conditions on driving style and cautiousness.

Changes in collision rates among novice drivers during the first months of driving.
TL;DR: It was found that crash rates drop most dramatically during the first 6 months of driving, and a graduated driver licensing system is identified as an effective method for ensuring that this development takes place in a more forgiving environment.

Carrying Passengers as a Risk Factor for Crashes Fatal to 16- and 17-Year-Old Drivers
TL;DR: The data indicate that the risk of fatal injury for a 16- or 17-year-old driver increases with the number of passengers, which supports inclusion of restrictions on carrying passengers in graduated licensing systems for young drivers.

Alcohol-related relative risk of driver fatalities and driver involvement in fatal crashes in relation to driver age and gender: an update using 1996 data.
TL;DR: This is the first study that systematically estimated relative risk for drink-drivers with BACs between 0.08% and 0.10% (these relative risk estimates apply to BAC range midpoints at 0.09%.) the results clearly show that drivers with a BAC under 0.
Journal ArticleDOI
Driving experience, crashes and traffic citations of teenage beginning drivers
TL;DR: Self-reported crash involvements and citations were examined for each teenager's first year of licensure and first 3500 miles driven to find male gender, a lower GPA and living in a rural area were associated with a higher citation rate.

The situational risks of young drivers: the influence of passengers, time of day and day of week on accident rates
TL;DR: The results indicate that the accident involvement rates of 16-19 year old drivers are higher than those of 20-24 and 25-59 year olds in all situations that were examined, but that they were disproportionately high on weekends, at nighttime and with passengers.
