Abstract:

Every year globally 1.3 million people lose their lives from road traffic accidents (RTAs). To date, there has not been a comprehensive evaluation of RTAs in the United Arab Emirates, and the results from this study would help in evaluating the issues related to RTAs. Relevant literature on factors related to RTAs was reviewed to inform the methods adopted for the study. Structured questionnaires were used to collect quantitative data among 291 drivers and 280 pedestrians in Abu Dhabi, while 41 key informant interviews with traffic managers provided qualitative data.

Abstract:

This thesis looked at traffic crashes in the emirate of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to establish the current situation in road safety and ways of improving it. A global overview of road safety literature revealed that standards of road safety vary widely by region. Key indicators like fatality rate and risk (Jacobs et al, 2000) were found to be higher in most neighbouring Gulf Cooperative Council (GCC) countries (10-25 fatalities/100,000 pop., 3-5 fatalities/10,000 motor vehicles) than in the best-performing Western countries (6 fatalities/100,000 pop., 1 fatality/10,000 motor vehi

Abstract:

The thesis refers to the issue of road accidents and their prevention in the Czech Republic, seen as a negative phenomenon in modern society. It is divided into two relatively independent parts, theoretical and practical. The theoretical part focuses on a general description of traffic accident and states their main causes. Moreover, it deals with a road accident as a traumatic event having negative effects on life of involved people, especially on the human psyche. At the end of this part you can find basic principles of emergency intervention on casualties of road accidents and organizations

Factors associated with the development of post traumatic stress symptomatology have frequently been reported in the literature over the last decade.

Left-hand drive (LHD) vehicles share higher road accident risks under left-hand traffic because of blind spot areas. Due to low import prices, the number of wrong-hand drive vehicles skyrockets in emerging countries like Georgia, Kyrgyzstan and Russia. I identify the causal effect of wrong-hand drive vehicles on road safety employing a new “backward version” of the synthetic control method. Sweden switched from left-hand to right-hand traffic in 1967. Before 1967, however, almost all Swedish vehicles were LHD for reasons of international trade and Swedish customer demand.

Abstract:

In reconstruction of on-roadway vehicle accidents, roadway surface gouges and the forces and energy attributed to the related vehicle components become important keys to resolving an accurate accident reconstruction. These roadway gouge forces vary depending upon such factors as surface temperature and the velocity and geometry of the gouging mechanism. Accounting for the forces applied to vehicle components and the energy dissipated from such forces can be helpful in accident reconstruction where supporting data exists. This research documents the force necessary to create a given roadway gou

Traffic accidents result in life and financial loss to the society. In developing countries traffic fatalities are comparable to other leading causes of death. The need for the analysis of the spatial distribution of traffic accidents, as an aid to select the most appropriate type of accident reduction programme (e.g. site, route and area plans) and assessing the effectiveness of such plans after implementation, is very important. The current practice (e.g. visual examination) for assessing the spatial distribution of accidents is reviewed. In this thesis, various methods for the statistical a

At the same time, several pieces of research on bicycle use in Sweden show that more people are bicycling now than 60 years ago.

Abstract:

Accidents to child pedestrians are usually blamed on their inexperience and carelessness. This thesis proposes instead that the main problem is a form of driver error, overestimation of time-to-collision. When drivers have to make critical decisions about braking, time-to-collision may be much longer than can be reliably judged from optic flow. They therefore have to obtain time-to-collision indirectly from distance and speed. The main cue for distance is familiar size, so if a driver tends to misperceive a child as a larger person at a greater distance, he would overestimate time-to-collision

The analysis of road accident data has led to the development of a number of prediction models to allow testing of road improvement schemes. However, the advances in Information Technology and particularly within the field of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) has enabled it to be linked with applied sciences such as Fluid Mechanics, Highway Design and Traffic Engineering to create a "loosely" to "tightly coupled" GISbased system. Such a system allows correction and simulation tasks to be performed whenever necessary. This approach has been applied to the problem in Brunei where they are a

Abstract:

This study investigates the occurrence of road traffic accidents in Great Britain at a national scale. STATS 19 data for road accidents, vehicles involved in road accidents and casualties occurring over several years were analysed and modelled using various statistical techniques. The main aims of this research were to investigate the use of different statistical model formulations and to investigate the numbers of road accidents, casualties, and vehicles involved that occur on each day. Generalized linear model (GLM), generalized estimation equation (GEE), and hierarchical generalized linear
