Severity analysis of single-vehicle left and right run-off-road crashes using a random parameter ordered logit model

Sunday Okafor et al.

Summary: This study investigated the factors contributing to the severity of single vehicle run-off-road crashes in terms of right run-off-road (R-ROR) and left run-off-road (L-ROR) crashes. The results showed that male drivers, Driving Under Influence (DUI), motorcycles, and dry road surfaces were significant contributing factors to both R-ROR and L-ROR crash severities. Speeding, reckless driving, 1-2 lanes, and older drivers increased the severity of R-ROR crashes, while phone distraction, crossed centerline/median, 3-4 lanes, rain, and dark unlighted roadway increased the severity of L-ROR crashes.

Carrying a passenger and relaxation before driving: Classification of young drivers' physiological activation

Quentin Meteier et al.

Summary: This study examines the impact of carrying passengers on young drivers' behavior and investigates the positive influence of relaxation before driving using machine learning and physiological signal analysis. The results show that drivers experience a higher increase in skin conductance when driving with a passenger, and relaxation practice can be predicted using a neural network.

Modeling road traffic fatalities in Iran's six most populous provinces, 2015-2016

Fatemeh Jahanjoo et al.

Summary: Prevention of road traffic injuries requires coordinated efforts. The study identified influential factors related to traffic safety, including passenger presence, pedestrians presence, night-time crashes, rainy weather, and various other factors. Addressing risk factors and considering the odds ratios would be beneficial for reducing the severity of RTIs.
