Inter-urban roads in Indonesia are characterized mainly by distinct road geometry and heterogeneous traffic features. The accident database from the Republic of National Traffic Police recorded a substantial number fatal accidents

A high degree of safety from fires and explosions exists in operating theatres in the U.K. and this is reflected in the extremely low number of fatal and non-fatal accidents which occur. This has been achieved by safety precautions which in some respects have been over-careful and overexpensive. Antistatic precautions applied to the breathing circuit seem to have been the crucial factor in achi...

In the United States, about 28 lives are lost daily in motor vehicle accidents that involve an alcohol-impaired driver. The conventional wisdom is that these accidents can be prevented through the use of strict traffic laws that are robustly enforced, though no consensus exists on the causal impact of these laws in reducing motor vehicle-related fatalities. This paper exploits quasi-random vari...

Factor complexity is regarded as a typical characteristic of traffic accidents. This paper proposes a novel method, named boosted regression trees (BRTs), which is particularly appropriate for investigating complicated and nonlinear relationships in high-variance traffic accident data. The Taiwan 2004–2005 single-motorcycle accident data are adopted to demonstrate the usefulness of BRTs. Tradit...

The UK External Vehicle Speed Control has made a prediction of the accident savings with ISA, and estimated the costs and benefits of national implementation. The best prediction of accident reduction was that the fitting on all vehicles of a simple mandatory ISA, with which it would be impossible for vehicles to exceed the speed limit, would save 20% of injury accidents and 37% of fatal accide...
