The risk of serious crashes is much higher for motorcyclists than motorists. While research into PTW safety not as extensive other road users, there a need further understanding fatal and injury crash patterns causes, particularly in the critical pre-crash phase. Naturalistic Driving Studies (NDS) have been used to improve gain better car mechanisms, but few studies this approach examine behavi...

Abstract Objective We aimed to quantify, through simulations using real crash data, the number of potentially avoided crashes following different replacement levels light vehicles by level-5 automated (AVs). Methods Since AVs are not on road yet, or too rare, we simulated their introduction into traffic a national database all fatal and 5% injury observed in France 2011. fictitiously replaced c...

At this level, there are studies organizations that stigmatized since its inception; become stigmatized; developed actions to circumvent sti...

  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 (KAP) ...
