OBJECTIVE Motorcyclist collisions with fixed objects account for a substantial proportion of fatalities in many countries. Biomechanically valid crash test protocols are required to assess the injury potential of different fixed objects to motorcyclists and/or to develop safety devices that ameliorate this injury risk. The aim of the present article is to provide field-observed injury data pert...

UNLABELLED Background Three studies were conducted aiming to design specific interventions regarding motorcyclist's safety using Haddon matrix in 14 cities of Iran. METHODS Motorcyclists' fatality data was extracted in 14 cities (5 safe community practicing and 9 safe community non practicing cities) during 2006-2007. As the next step a cross sectional study on Knowledge, Attitude, Practice (...

At un-signalised at-grade intersections or roundabouts, motorcyclists have to make a quick decision manoeuvre and avoid crash. Many studies show that risk-taking behaviour is the major cause of accidents in young motorcyclists. In this study, we analysed various factors are involved at intersections. Online questionnaires were distributed among university college students Islamabad Rawalpindi. ...
