This paper addresses future pedestrian accident scenarios involving next decade of small electric vehicles (SEVs) employed primarily in urban areas in 2025. The methodology used to predict the most relevant accident scenarios in 2025, in terms of speeds, impact locations, vehicle designs and inner-city boundaries, includes four main steps and as an example, the first three steps are shown for p...

A study was done on a road in the Western Cape of South Africa, the R44, to investigate the causes of road accidents. The causes of the accidents on this 25km stretch of road were deduced from analysing 404 accident reports and from relationships that were determined with other factors. Risk factors (human-, vehicleand environment factors) are proposed for the 14 accident types that occurred on...

The compatibility problems of the mini car in car-tocar frontal collision and car-pedestrian accident are discussed using accident data and computer simulations. In our analysis of the accident data in Japan, the number of fatalities was investigated using the vehicle masses and classes. It was found that the cars with identical mass are most compatible since the injuries per accident are minim...

Data associated with over 9000 accidents involving large trucks and combination vehicles during a two-year period on freeways in the greater Los Angeles area are analyzed relative to collision factors, accident severity, and incident duration and lane closures. Relationships between type of collision and accident characteristics are explored using log-linear models. The results point to signifi...
