The impact of higher speed limits on the frequency and severity of freeway crashes: Accounting for temporal shifts and unobserved heterogeneity

Nawaf Alnawmasi et al.

Summary: Recent increases in maximum interstate speed limits in the US have not significantly affected crash frequencies, but have shown some changes in injury severities. The findings suggest that higher speed limits may contribute to increased injury severities in single-vehicle crashes.

Differences between day and night pedestrian-injury severities: Accounting for temporal and unobserved effects in prediction

Asim Alogaili et al.

Summary: This study explores the differences in pedestrian injury severities between day and night vehicle-pedestrian crashes in Kansas over a five-year period. The findings suggest a clear day-night difference in injury severities, with nighttime crashes consistently resulting in more severe injuries. Factors affecting pedestrian injury severities were found to change over time.

Investigating factors affecting bus/minibus accident severity in a developing country for different subgroup datasets characterised by time, pavement, and light conditions

Reuben Tamakloe et al.

Summary: Developing countries face challenges with poor roadway and lighting infrastructure, impacting their traffic accident fatality rates. Risky driving behaviors by bus/minibus drivers during weekends when surveillance is low to maximize profits further increase these rates. This study investigates the effects of contributing factors on the severity of bus/minibus accidents in Ghana under various pavement and light conditions, highlighting the differences between weekdays and weekends. Insights from this research can inform engineers and policymakers on improving traffic safety in developing nations.

Temporal instability assessment of injury severities of motor vehicle drivers at give-way controlled unsignalized intersections: A random parameters approach with heterogeneity in means and variances

Hamsa Zubaidi et al.

Summary: Unsignalized intersections are more prone to traffic crashes compared to signalized intersections, and temporal instability should be considered to avoid inconsistent countermeasures. Mixed logit models with heterogeneity in means and variance performed better than standard ones in investigating the determinants of injury severity of drivers involved in crashes at these intersections.

On random-parameter count models for out-of-sample crash prediction: Accounting for the variances of random-parameter distributions

Pengpeng Xu et al.

Summary: This study proposed a solution to include both the means and variances of random parameters for unbiased prediction. The findings demonstrated that simply using the means of random parameters to predict crash counts for out-of-sample observations can result in significant underestimation. Special caution should be taken when applying the random-parameter approach for predictive purposes to avoid this silent pitfall.

Sarvani Sonduru Pantangi et al.

Summary: This study assessed the effectiveness of High-Visibility Crosswalks (HVCs) in improving pedestrian safety at urban settings using SHRP2 NDS data. The results showed that the presence of HVC modifies driving behavior, reducing the risk of motor vehicle - pedestrian conflicts.

Temporal stability of factors influencing driver-injury severities in single-vehicle crashes: A correlated random parameters with heterogeneity in means and variances approach

Chamroeun Se et al.

Summary: This study investigates the temporal instability of contributing factors of driver-injury severities in single-vehicle crashes and finds substantial instability in factors such as driver gender, speeding, and crash locations across different time periods. The findings highlight the importance of considering temporal instability in influencing the outcomes of driver-injury severities. Neglecting temporal instability in crash severity studies may lead to biased and inaccurate conclusions.

Temporal stability of driver injury severity in single-vehicle roadway departure crashes: A random thresholds random parameters hierarchical ordered probit approach

Miao Yu et al.

Summary: This study applied the HOPIT method to analyze single-vehicle roadway departure crash data from North Carolina from 2014 to 2017, finding that some factors have relatively stable effects on injury severity while others exhibit temporal instability. This presents a caution for decision-makers in handling these factors carefully.

Yang Li et al.

Summary: This study utilizes pedestrian-vehicle crash data from North Carolina between 2007 and 2018 to examine the influence of various factors on pedestrian injury severity, revealing stable effects for some factors across different time periods but strong temporal instabilities for most factors. The model accounts for heterogeneity in means and variances of random parameters, offering insights for policymakers to improve pedestrian safety within the transportation system.
