Summary: This study examines the contribution of graduated driver licensing (GDL) restrictions, sex, age, roadway circumstances, and citation history to teen drivers' crash culpability. The results show that crash culpability among teen drivers is primarily associated with sex, age, location, and GDL stage.

Summary: The study proposed an analysis model of risk factors of urban bus operation that combines the advantages of FTA's structural analysis and CLR's correlation analysis. Based on the discriminant principle, 11 higher risk factors were selected, and the CLR model was used to fit these risk factors.

Summary: The study compared accident correlations between full-time and part-time bus drivers, finding that part-time drivers had weaker correlations between time periods, suggesting that differential exposure may cause stability in crash records. This supports the idea that the tendency to cause traffic accidents is a stable trait within individuals, not influenced by stable differences in exposure.

Summary: The study demonstrated the effectiveness of General Motors' advanced driver assistance and headlighting systems in reducing crashes and injuries. Various systems showed significant reductions in different types of accidents, with some systems showing even more pronounced effects in injury analyses.

Summary: This study analyzes bicycle crash data from the greater Copenhagen area and identifies factors such as temperature, wind speeds, visibility, and time periods that are associated with higher risk of bicycle crashes. The findings suggest that extreme temperatures, decreased visibility, peak hours, and cycling under the influence of alcohol contribute to increased relative risk of bicycle crashes.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has had varying impacts on urban transport modes, particularly affecting bus ridership and service provision. Despite the reduced traffic flow, there has been an increase in crash fatality rates, raising concerns about road safety during COVID-19 in the US. This study aims to investigate the factors contributing to bus-involved crashes during the pandemic.

Summary: This study focuses on evaluating the crashworthiness of hydrogen buses, specifically the safety measures for the fuel systems located on the roof structure. Through rollover tests and computational approaches, the study provides a conceptual framework for evaluating the crashworthiness of hydrogen buses.

Summary: This study aims to examine the risk of death among crash-involved teenage drivers. The results showed that teenage drivers carrying multiple teenage passengers were twice as likely to die compared to driving alone, and the risk increased seven times when carrying a combination of teenage and young adult passengers. The presence of adult passengers aged 35-64 years resulted in the lowest risk of death for teenage drivers.

Summary: Fatal crash rates have been trending downward since the mid-1990s, with greater declines for drivers ages 70 and older compared to middle-aged drivers (43% vs. 21%). While drivers ages 70-79 now have lower fatal crash rates per 100,000 licensed drivers and police-reported crash rates per mile traveled than drivers ages 35-54, their fatal crash rates per mile traveled and risk of dying in a crash remain higher due to driving fewer miles.

Summary: Due to the low occurrence of public transport accidents, most existing studies have focused on improving the traffic safety of passenger cars. However, this study analyzed the behavioral factors affecting passenger fall incidents on buses and built regression models, finding that deceleration-related behavioral factors significantly influenced the occurrence of passenger fall incidents.

Summary: Lane departure crashes in Maine are responsible for over 70% of roadway fatalities. This study analyzes the impact of roadway, driver, and weather factors on the severity of single-vehicle lane departure crashes occurring on rural roadways. The findings provide valuable insights for safety analysts and practitioners in Maine to improve maintenance strategies, enhance safety measures, and increase awareness across the state.

Summary: The study aims to improve the accuracy of crash responsibility assignment by using binary logistic regression to identify factors affecting the citation decision of police officers and establishing an ensemble machine learning method for crash responsibility allocation. The findings indicate that police citation is closely related to the presence of hazardous driving behavior and can be influenced by other factors. Compared to conventional models, the ensemble machine learning methods show better performance in crash responsibility assignment.

Summary: The study investigated the risk factors associated with the severity of urban transit bus accidents in Mashhad, Iran, indicating that factors such as speed limit and vulnerable road users are positively correlated with bus accident severity. Results also showed that accidents occurring at bus stops and roundabouts decrease the probability of injury or fatality compared to accidents on roadway segments.

Summary: In meta-analysis, conversion formulas are used to convert effect sizes into a common metric. The study found that converted values were generally lower than directly calculated values, with some biases in the conversion to Pearson r. However, these systematic errors can be adjusted for by multiplying the converted values with a correction factor.

Summary: Road traffic injuries are a major cause of death among young people worldwide, highlighting the importance of young driver safety as a global public health concern. Pre-driver road safety education programs have often been ineffective in improving safety for this at risk group. However, a recent study using a randomized controlled trial and the Theory of Planned Behaviour found that a pre-driver education intervention called DriveFit led to some small improvements in risk intentions, attitudes, and other measures among 16-18-year-old students.

Summary: This study introduces a meta-analytic method that can assess invariance without access to raw data by comparing the structures of intercorrelations of factors across different samples. The method was tested and found to be useful in evaluating how factors interrelate in various samples where raw data is not available. This provides a valuable alternative for assessing invariance in survey research.
