A Multinomial Logit Model of Pedestrian-Vehicle Crash Severity
TLDR
In this article, a multinomial logit model was used to identify the factors determining the severity of pedestrian-vehicle crashes in South Korea, and the results showed that relative to minor crashes, fatal and serious crashes were associated with collisions involving heavy vehicles; drivers who were drunk, male or under the age of 65; pedestrians who were over 65 or female.About:

A clustering regression approach: A comprehensive injury severity analysis of pedestrian–vehicle crashes in New York, US and Montreal, Canada
TL;DR: In this article, the authors combine data mining and statistical regression methods to identify the main factors associated with the levels of pedestrian injury severity outcomes and provide recommendations for policy makers, traffic engineers, and law enforcement in order to reduce the severity of pedestrian-vehicle collisions.

Visualization and analysis of mapping knowledge domain of road safety studies
Xin Zou,Wen Long Yue,Hai L. Vu +2 more
TL;DR: The results show that the knowledge bases (classical documents) of road safety studies in the last two decades have focused on five major areas of "Crash Frequency Data Analysis", "Driver Behavior Questionnaire", "Safety in Numbers for Walkers and Bicyclists", "Road Traffic Injury and Prevention", and "Driving Speed and Road Crashes".

Exploring the determinants of pedestrian–vehicle crash severity in New York City
TL;DR: Random parameter logit models for explaining pedestrian injury severity levels of New York City accounting for unobserved heterogeneity in the population and across the boroughs are developed.
A Clustering Regression Approach: A Comprehensive Injury Severity Analysis of Pedestrian-Vehicle Crashes in New York, U.S. and Montreal, Canada
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors combine data mining and statistical regression methods to identify the main contributing factors associated with the levels of pedestrian injury severity outcomes and provide recommendations for policy makers, traffic engineers, and law enforcement to reduce the severity of pedestrian-vehicle collisions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Investigating the risk factors associated with pedestrian injury severity in Illinois.
TL;DR: A comparison between three proposed ordered-response models shows that the partial proportional odds (PPO) model outperforms the conventional ordered (proportional odds-PO) model and generalized ordered logit model (GOLM) and stricter rules to address DUI driving is suggested.

Driver injury severity: an application of ordered probit models.
TL;DR: The results suggest that pickups and sport utility vehicles are less safe than passenger cars under single-vehicle crash conditions and that males and younger drivers in newer vehicles at lower speeds sustain less severe injuries.

Comprehensive analysis of vehicle-pedestrian crashes at intersections in Florida.
Chris Lee,Mohamed Abdel-Aty +1 more
TL;DR: It was found that pedestrian and driver demographic factors, and road geometric, traffic and environment conditions are closely related to the frequency and injury severity of pedestrian crashes.
Journal ArticleDOI
A mixed generalized ordered response model for examining pedestrian and bicyclist injury severity level in traffic crashes
TL;DR: The mixed generalized ordered response logit (MGORL) model as discussed by the authors was proposed to examine non-motorist injury severity in accidents in the USA, using the 2004 General Estimates System (GES) database.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fragility versus excessive crash involvement as determinants of high death rates per vehicle-mile of travel among older drivers
TL;DR: Although both fragility and crash over-involvement contributed to the excess death rates among older drivers per VMT, fragility appeared to be of over-riding importance and measures to improve the protection of older vehicle occupants in crashes should be vigorously pursued.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bicyclist injury severities in bicycle–motor vehicle accidents
TL;DR: The results imply that bicyclist fault is more closely correlated with greater bicyclist injury severity than driver fault, which supports the commonly used 30km/h speed limit in residential neighborhoods.
