background: in recent decades, ‎due to the increase in users of roads and inadequate attention to the creation and development of appropriate passageways for traffic, there has been a growing trend in traffic accidents and casualties caused by them. the traffic accidents among pedestrians to take necessary measures in a timely fashion should be well studied. this study was conducted with the go...

A vehicle-pedestrian impact is a complex phenomenon in which a large number of variables take part simultaneously determining the injury severity of the pedestrian. Statistical techniques were applied to data from 43 pedestrian accidents that occurred in Madrid, following a similar approach to the one applied in previous publications from authors. In this case, however, the general research obj...

Road traffic accidents are the leading cause of death in international travelers. With the growth of international travel, the number of visitors who rent a vehicle upon arrival at their destination by air or by sea is expected to increase.

Estimating individual probabilities of causation generally requires prior knowledge of causal mechanisms. For traffic accidents such knowledge is often available and supports the discipline of accident reconstruction. In this paper structural knowledge is combined with Bayesian network methods to calculate the probability of necessity due to speeding for each of a set of vehicle/pedestrian coll...

This project proposes an accident cost estimation model in the aviation industry in Nigeria. The model takes into consideration the probability of accidents and the cost of the potential consequences. Potential consequences of accidents are classified as human severity, property damage, and economic implications. The three classes of accidents identified in this study were fatal, serious, and m...
