▼ The aim of this study was to determine factors associated with road traffic deaths and trends in traffic deaths among motorists in Lusaka from 2010 to 2013. RTAs are one of the main causes of injuries and deaths in the world today. It is a concern for public health. Third world countries such as Zambia experience large numbers of RTAs and the outcomes are affecting the development and productivity of such economies. This study was conducted in Lusaka, Zambia based on police statistical records of road traffic accidents that took place in the period under review. Simple Systematic Sampling was used to select a total of 400 cases into the sample that were considered for analysis. The Researcher used Logistic Regression Analysis to determine the associations between the Outcome Variable (i.e. dying from a road traffic accident) and other independent variables such as age of driver, sex of driver, road from which the accident took place and time of accident. These associations were analysed at three distinct levels namely, Univariate analysis, Bivariate analysis and the Multivariate analysis which took into account the need to control for confounders. The results indicated that there is a strong association between sex of driver and the probability of dying from a road traffic accident which revealed that male drivers are at a higher risk of dying from an RTA than their female counterparts. Apart from that, odds of dying from an RTA were higher in roads around town and the surrounding areas compared to those on the periphery. These associations that were unravelled from the results were in conformity with studies conducted in the USA, Europe, Asia and parts of Africa that age and sex of driver are statistically significant to determine whether the risk of dying is higher or reduced on the road. Recommendations to the study were in tandem with the results which were that government and the general citizenry should take the matter of deaths from RTAs as important and put in place measures that can address the problem adequately. There is need to work out plans and policies that prioritise RTAs as a relevant Public Health concern in order to save lives and prevent unnecessary injuries. There should also be a strategic framework that stiffens regulations on the road especially to the most affected groups such as young male drivers in Lusaka that have indicated having high vulnerability to the risk of dying from RTAs

▼ Exposure to a traumatic event may result in the development of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or Acute Stress Disorder (ASD). Biopsychosocial variables associated with these disorders following motor vehicle accident [MVA] trauma were the subject of this investigation. Reviews of the diagnostic classification of the psychological sequelae of trauma exposure, and theoretical models of the aetiology of posttraumatic stress disorders preceded the empirical studies. Posttraumatic responses were concluded to be affected by multiple biopsychosocial mechanisms best represented by an integrated aetiological model. Consequently, the need for multimodal assessment of posttraumatic psychological responses was evident, and existing assessment methods were discussed. ASD was found to be the subject of relatively little research to date when compared with PTSD, highlighting a need for comprehensive examination of the more recently introduced diagnostic entity. The empirical studies focused on the examination of multi-variable profiles associated with diagnosis-specific psychological sequelae to MVA trauma. The first study was a large scale screen of an Australian university student sample (N = 425), and was conducted to investigate MVA trauma exposure and associated posttraumatic symptoms. In the second study, psychometric data were used to investigate coping styles and belief systems associated with the development of PTSD, ASD and subclinical responses to MVA trauma (N = 83). The results indicated little difference in the profiles of the ASD and subclinical groups, which were characterized by adaptive coping and rational belief systems. The PTSD group profile was characterized by a combination of adaptive and maladaptive coping, and no differences were found between the three groups in terms of rationality of beliefs. Study three demonstrated the use of a multimodal tool to assess associations between recollections of peritraumatic responses and posttraumatic diagnostic outcomes. Psychological and psychophysiological reactivity to trauma-related and neutral idiosyncratic imaged events were examined using a four stage guided imagery methodology (N = 51), and multimodal group-specific response patterns were detected. Study four investigated perceived posttraumatic psychological outcomes of the three experimental groups (N = 83). The ASD and subclinical group profiles reflected adaptive and positive posttraumatic recovery, but also reflected that all participants, regardless of diagnosis, were psychologically affected by MVA exposure. The PTSD group profile was characterized by a broad range of negative posttraumatic outcomes, pervasive in many aspects of functioning. Consideration was given to factors that may have led to these between group differences. The results of the empirical studies supported the proposition that PTSD and ASD are distinct diagnostic entities that may be differentiated on the basis of a complex array of biopsychosocial variables. The implications of the results for…

▼ In 2014, nearly 10% of overall congestion on freeways was due to the presence of work zones (WZs), equivalent to 310 million gallons of fuel loss (FHWA, 2017a). In terms of safety, in the US, every 5.4 minutes, a WZ related crash occurred in 2015 (96,626 crashes annually) (FHWA, 2017b). Maintenance work involves both Stationary Work Zones (SWZs) and Mobile Work Zones (MWZs). There are many analytical and simulation-based tools available for analyzing the traffic impacts of SWZs. However, the existing traffic analysis tools are not designed to appropriately model MWZs traffic impacts. This study seeks to address this gap in existing knowledge through the use of data from MWZs to develop and calibrate traffic impact analysis tools. This objective is accomplished through data fusion from multiple sources of MWZ, probe vehicle and traffic detector data. The simulation tool VISSIM is calibrated for MWZs using information extracted from videos of MWZ operations. This is the first study that calibrated the simulation based on real driving behavior behind a MWZ. The three recommended calibration parameters are safety reduction factor of 0.7, minimum look ahead distance of 500 feet and the use of smooth closeup option. These calibration values can be used to compare MWZ scenarios. Also, the data collection framework and calibration methodology designed in this study could be used in future research. The operational analysis concluded that a moving work activity lasting one hour or more are suggested to be done when traffic volumes are under 1400 veh/hr/ln, and preferably under 1000 veh/hr/ln, due to the drastic increase in the number of conflicts. In addition, three data driven models were developed to predict traffic speed inside a MWZ: a linear regression model and two models that used Multi-Gene Genetic Programming (MGGP). The second objective is to develop models and tools for safety assessment of stationary work zones. In the WZ safety literature, few studies have quantified the safety impact of SWZ and almost no quantitative study assessing MWZ safety impact. Using Missouri data, this study introduces 20 new crash prediction models for SWZs on freeways, expressways, rural two lane highways, urban multi-lane highways, arterials, ramps, signalized intersections, and unsignalized intersections. All the models except freeway SWZs are proposed for the first time in the literature. The mentioned SWZ models are implemented in a user-friendly spreadsheet tool which automatically selects the most appropriate model based on user input. The tool predicts crashes by severity, and computes the crash costs. For MWZs, there is no crash data available to develop crash prediction models. Thus, this dissertation analyzed conflict measures as a surrogate for safety impacts of MWZs. Conflict measures were generated from the trajectories of traffic simulation model. The safety trade-off plots between conflicts and combination of MWZ's duration and traffic volume were introduced. A transportation agency can use these plots to determine, for… Advisors/Committee Members: Edara, Praveen (advisor), Carlos, Sun (advisor).

▼ Before-after road safety evaluation (B/A) to measure safety treatment effect is a key mission in road safety management, and has fueled considerable research. However, previous research in this area has been overwhelmingly dedicated to safety model estimation with less emphasis on other methodological issues. As a result, there continues to be uncertainty in the validity of treatment effect estimates. This study seeks, with innovative paradigms, a systematic solution by solidifying methodologies for every essential step of a thorough B/A process to secure its ultimate validity.Methodologies of data sampling and processing, and before and after model development, both vital procedures that have been historically neglected, are investigated. A pre-test data sampling approach to select reference groups is established in the context of B/A application. A post-assignment propensity score matching method is developed in order to further eliminate statistical bias while the treatment effect indicator – collision reduction ratio (CRR) – is being estimated.Rather than focus on single safety model development as is common in traffic safety research, this study seeks all viable knowledge by employing various safety measures including collision and safety surrogates, by embedding several adaptable random distributions, by fitting models through both "Frequentist" and "Bayesian" approaches, and by exploring a variety of model forms and components. Accordingly, the output of this study is not a "best" single model, but rather an amalgamation of diversified models. The diversity is shown to be attractive in terms of information conveyed, especially for the B/A process.Finally, this study succeeds in finding a methodology to integrate all of the diverse knowledge sources. The Bayesian Model Averaging (BMA) method is investigated and developed to integrate a variety of statistical significant models without exclusion, in forging a unified model.All methodologies explored and developed in this study are essential to secure the validity of the B/A process. As important, they are substantially connected to each other. Should one method be deficient, the remaining steps cannot guarantee validity of B/A process. As a whole, these methodologies, if properly developed and applied, constitute a logical chain to estimate treatment effect with minimal errors and high validity.

▼ World Health Organization reports that about 1.24 million people die annually on the world’s roads, with 20–50 million sustaining non-fatal injuries. More than 85% (1.05 million) of the global deaths due to injuries occur in the developing world. Statistical techniques known and applied to model these scenarios are limited to basic statistics such as linear and Poisson regression that do not account for over dispersion. Further, Road Traffic Accident data violates assumptions that standard Poisson regression models is based. Appropriate extensions of this model, even though available, are rarely used by most applied statisticians. Data was collected from Zambia Police, Traffic Section on accidents that occurred on the Great North Road (GNR) highway between Lusaka and Kapiri-Mposhi in Zambia from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2016. Results from standard Poisson regression were compared to those obtained using the Negative Binomial (NB), Zero-Truncated Negative Binomial (ZTNB) and the Zero-Truncated Poisson (ZTP) regression models. Diagnostic tests were used to determine the best fit model. The data was analysed using STATA software, version 14.0 SE (Stata Corporation, College Station, TX, USA). A total of 1, 023 Road Traffic Accidents (RTAs) were analysed in which 1, 212 people died. Of these deaths, 82 (7%) were Juveniles and 1, 130 (93%) were adults. Cause of accident such as pedestrians crossing the road accounted for 30% (310/1,023) while 29% (295/1,023) were as a result of driver’s excessive speed. The study revealed that driving in the early hours of the day as compared to driving in the night had a significant increase in the incidence rate of death from RTAs, Incident Rate Ratio (IRR) of 2.1, (95% CI={1.01-4.41}), p-value=0.048, further, public transport as compared to private transport had an increased incidence of death from RTAs (IRR=5.65, 95% CI={2.97-10.73}), p-value<0.0001. There is a reduced incidence of dying if one is using a private vehicle as compared to a public vehicle or a truck. Driving in the early hours of the day (between 1AM and 7AM) had an increased incidence of death from RTAs. This study suggests that when dealing with counts in which there are a few zeros observed such as in serious and fatal RTAs, ZTNB fits the data well as compared to other models. Key words: Road Traffic Accidents, Poisson, Zero Truncated Poisson, Negative Binomial, Zero Truncated Negative Binomial, Number of deaths.

▼ Modeling crash severity is an important component of reasoning about the issues that may affect highway safety. A better understanding of the factors underlying crash severity can be used to reduce the degree of crash severity injury, locate road hazardous sites, and adopt suitable countermeasures. In order to provide insights on the mechanism and behavior of the crash severity injury, a variety of statistical approaches have been utilized to model the relationship between crash severity and potential risk factors. Many of the traditional approaches for analyzing crash severity are limited in that they are based on the assumption that all observations are independent of each other. However, given the reality of vehicle movement in networked systems, the assumption of independence of crash incidence is not likely valid. For instance, spatial and temporal autocorrelations are important sources of dependency among observations that may bias estimates if not considered in the modeling process. Moreover, there are other aspects of vehicular travel that may influence crash severity that have not been explored in traditional analysis approaches. One such aspect is the roadway visibility that is available to a driver at a given time that can impact their ability to react to changing traffic conditions, a characteristics known as sight distance. Accounting for characteristics such as sight distance in crash severity modeling involve moving beyond statistical analysis and modeling the complex geospatial relationships between the driver and the surrounding landscape. To address these limitations of traditional approaches to crash severity modeling, this dissertation first details a framework for detecting temporal and spatial autocorrelation in crash data. An approach for evaluating the sight distance available to drivers along roadways is then proposed. Finally, a crash severity model is developed based upon a multinomial logistic regression approach that incorporates the available sight distance and spatial autocorrelation as potential risk factors, in addition to a wide range of other factors related to road geometry, traffic volume, driver's behavior, environment, and vehicles. To demonstrate the characteristics of the proposed model, an analysis of vehicular crashes (years 2013-2015) along the I-70 corridor in the state of Missouri (MO) and on roadways in Boone County MO is conducted. To assess existing stopping sight distance and decision sight distance on multilane highways, a geographic information system (GIS)-based viewshed analysis is developed to identify the locations that do not conform to AASHTO (2011) criteria regarding stopping and decision sight distances, which could then be used as potential risk factors in crash prediction. Moreover, this method provides a new technique for estimating passing sight distance along two-lane highways, and locating the passing zones and no-passing zones. In order to detect the existence of temporal autocorrelation and whether it's significant in crash data, this dissertation… Advisors/Committee Members: Matisziw, Timothy C.

▼ ENGLISH ABSTRACT: reliable data quality system is a priority to all organisations or departments around the globe. Quality data is of great value to the agencies managing the road traffic system in South Africa in such areas as improvement of road safety complications, reconstruction of roads, advocating for adequate resources, strategising new public safety campaigns, and strengthening the enforcement of road policies to curb prevalent road accidents. The quality of the road accident data compiled at local level, according to complaints from the data users [data consumers], is alleged to be inaccurate, inadequate with regard to the relevant data demanded by the data users. Due to this effect, a need for a continuous and efficient assessment plan is considered at the local level [municipality level], where the preliminary data collection process is initiated, with the objective of uncovering and discarding the existence of errors or anomalies which frustrate the chance of raising the quality of the data processed at the provincial level. In an attempt to have a detail understanding on these anomalies, however, objectives of this study are to investigate and evaluate the anomalies that exist during the reporting and recording of road accident data at the Stellenbosch Traffic Department under the jurisdiction of the Stellenbosch Municipality-Western Cape 024, and the necessity for the improvement of the Accident Report form to accommodate more information and better understanding of its application. These objectives are achieved through research questions designed to guide the methodology applied to execute the investigation. These questions cut across how simple and comprehensible the Accident Report form is to the users, and the practicality of the information provided in the form in understanding causes of road accidents and in managing resources in preventing road accidents in the Stellenbosch area. In this case, the methodology applied is based on the four-stage approach model, which includes the understanding and evaluation of the process engaged in the traffic department, in order to have a big picture about the vulnerable areas and the responsible factors affecting the quality of data collected through the use of Accident Report form. The methodology also incorporates the collection of the right data by assessing the information completed in the form through definite dimensions and metrics, and also a questionnaire was developed to substantiate both quantitative and qualitative data collection processes which involved the participation of the South African Police Service, as one of the authorised data collectors in the Stellenbosch. With the aim of making this investigation a successful one, the analysis of the data collected was performed to determine the persistent accumulation of errors per data field in the Accident Report form, and the practical evaluation of data usability as applicable to the road accident occurrence within the Stellenbosch area, coupled with the analysis of the applicability of the… Advisors/Committee Members: Van Schalk wyk, Dirkse Theuns, Stellenbosch University.

Esta tese tem como finalidade propor um método de coleta, tratamento e análise de dados de acidentes de trânsito para aplicação no Brasil. Este método tem como um de seus objetivos reconhecer os fatores que contribuem para a ocorrência dos acidentes, visto que identificar as causas dos acidentes é fundamental na busca por soluções para o problema da acidentalidade. No Brasil as bases de dados de acidentes de trânsito são, em geral, estruturadas a partir dos registros policiais e carecem de informações adequadas para a análise da segurança viária. O método proposto neste trabalho permite registrar acidentes de modo a contemplar: as características do acidente, as circunstâncias do momento, a identificação e as características dos veículos e pessoas envolvidas. Além disso, o método permite relacionar essas informações com os fatores que contribuíram para a ocorrência dos acidentes. Nesse contexto, a criação de uma base de dados de acidentes e seus fatores contribuintes, vem suprir a carência de informações essenciais para o diagnóstico e encaminhamento de soluções adequadas para os problemas motivadores dos acidentes de trânsito. A proposta desta tese está baseada em uma abordagem que combina aspectos qualitativos e quantitativos, alinhada às melhores práticas internacionais na área de segurança viária. Como resultado do desenvolvimento do método, foram elaborados instrumentos de coleta de dados contendo um formulário, um manual e procedimentos para a coleta de dados. Como resultado da aplicação prática desses instrumentos, foi criada a estrutura de uma base de dados que permitiu a definição do método proposto para a análise das causas de acidentes de trânsito. Como meio de validar o método proposto, foi realizado um estudo aplicado e são apresentadas as análises de dados dos acidentes de trânsito observados.

This thesis has the purpose of presenting a method for collecting and processing data on traffic accidents to be applied in Brazil. This method aims to acknowledge the contributor factors for the occurrence of accidents, since identifying the causes of accidents is crucial on the search for effective solutions for the road safety problem. Traffic accidents database in Brazil are generally structured based on police reports, therefore lacking adequate information for the analyses of road safety. The method proposes a registry of the accidents comprising accident characteristics, scene circumstances, vehicle as well as involved people identification and characteristics. Moreover, it allows relating that information with the accident contributory factors. In this scenery, the creation of an accident database and its contributory factors emerge to supply the lack of essential information for the diagnosis and adequate solution for traffic accidents. This thesis’ proposal has an approach that combines both quantitative and qualitative aspects, seeking to level up to the best international practice on the road safety area. As a result of the development of the method, data collection instruments were elaborated: a…

▼ BACKGROUND: Over 1.35 million people die each year due to road traffic accidents (RTAs), and up to 50 million more sustain non-fatal injuries. They are the eighth leading cause of death worldwide, and the primary cause of death in young people between the ages of 15 and 29. Our study focused on RTAs in the second largest trauma hospital in the capital city of the Dominican Republic, Santo Domingo. The country currently claims the fifth spot globally for deaths due to road traffic accidents per capita, and is second globally for fatalities due to motorcycle accidents. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to gather pertinent information about RTAs suffered by 362 patients admitted to Hospital Traumatológico Ney Arias Lora (HTNAL) to then inform interventions to decrease RTAs and the severity of their resulting injuries. METHODS: This study involves an analysis of several factors of RTAs suffered by patients admitted to HTNAL. These include gender, age, rural or urban location, the kind of vehicle, the number of passengers per vehicle; whether the patient was a driver, passenger, or pedestrian; the kinematics of the accident, the use and/or availability of 911, the distance from the hospital, time of day, the influence of alcohol, the use of a helmet or seatbelt, length of stay in the hospital, the kind of injury, the severity of the injury, and resulting permanent disability or death. Inclusion criteria were any patient admitted after sustaining injuries in a motor vehicle accident. There were no exclusion criteria. Researchers performed a retrospective paper chart review on 120 charts from 2013-2014, before the institution of a 911 system, and 125 charts from the beginning of 2017, after a 911 system had been in place for over two years. Due to lack of much of the data from the aforementioned list of factors within the charts, researchers also interviewed 117 patients and/or their family members who were admitted to HTNAL during July 2017. Verbal consent was obtained prior to each interview. RESULTS: Of the 362 patients included in this study, 85.4% were male and 14.6% were female. The mortality rate was 11.3% for males and 7.5% for females, for an overall rate of 10.8%. 12.9% of motorcyclists died in the hospital, compared with 2.9% of automobile occupants and 4.3% of pedestrians. Over half of the patients were involved in a traffic accident in Santo Domingo (52.3%). The average distance travelled for patients who were referred to HTNAL was 90.1 km. The highest frequency of accidents per hour occurred during evening rush hour on weekdays. The overwhelming majority of admitted patients were driving or riding a moto (two-wheel vehicles, such as motorcycles and mopeds), and this trend was more evident among males (81.7% of males, 49% of females).

▼ This dissertation probes critical questions about the relationship between the production of cultural meanings, social power, and material objects. By using the public discourse on traffic accidents in the United States as a historical case study, this study investigates in particular the various ways by which social groups respond to unintended technological consequences and dangers within definitional processes of collectively constructing a social problem. The textual-thematic analysis draws largely upon theories from social problems literature and science & technology studies, as it looks at a number of salient historical claimsmakers, sites of discourse production, and cultural vehicles of meaning making. Specifically, the contributions of the private insurance industry, safety establishment, consumer market, automobile clubs, and printed media are closely dissected to flesh out the contours and content of the accident problem's construction and development through time. In line with a contextual constructivist approach to social problems analysis, the research has observed the emergence, evolution, and eventual waning of the accident issue along several structural anchors that provide possible explanations for some of these dynamics. To a great extent, the traffic accident problem has gradually 'disappeared' in America throughout the twentieth century - a disappearance that is not physical but conceptual. Specifically, it means that the troubling social condition is defined as something to live with, a necessary evil of which there seems to be limited ability or desire to substantially affect or eradicate. The sociological concept I employ to name this particular trajectory towards problem attenuation is normalization. Applied to the case analyzed here, the findings offer a way to understand the processes by which traffic accidents become nom1alized in America as an acquiescent price to pay for the benefits of the automobile. Theoretically, these conclusions have laid the groundwork for producing a hypothetical model of social problems normalization. The model highlights the role played by several cultural devices of claimsmaking in affecting issue attenuation or 'disappearance.' When the problem is constructed through highly technicizing, commensurating, commodifying, and socially controlling modalities of sense making, the likelihood of its normalization and eventual floundering increases.

▼ Introduction Traffic related injury (TRI) is a common cause of mortality and morbidity among young people in the industrialised world. However, there are few epidemiological studies specifically examining TRIs among young people to establish whether this is also the case in Scotland. Further, there has been recent interest in the injury field in developing new methods of data synthesis and analysis using existing data sources. There are two population- based official data sources in Scotland that could be used to build an epidemiological picture of TRIs among young people. Aim The aim of this study was to examine the trends and patterns of TRIs among young people (15-24 years) in Scotland. The study had four key objectives. Firstly, to examine the temporal and socio-economic trends in TRIs among Scottish young people. Secondly, to compare TRI rates in Scottish young people with their European Union counterparts. Thirdly, to establish the location, time and circumstances in which TRIs occur. Lastly, to establish the completeness of official data sources using capture-recapture and to calculate ascertainment- coiTected rates. Ten research questions were formulated to address these objectives. Method: Mortality and hospital discharge (SMRl) data coded as injuries were obtained from the Registrar General for Scotland and the Information and Statistics Division (ISD) of the Scottish Health Service for 15-24 year olds between 1986 and 1995. Results TRIs accounted for over one third of all injury deaths (39%) between 1986 and 1995. However, there was a significant linear decrease in these fatalities over the study period. Rates in Scotland appear to be around average for the EU, but are higher than those observed elsewhere in the UK. Motor vehicle occupant (driver or passenger) fatalities accounted for more than half of the TRI fatalities. A disproportionate number of males and young people residing in more affluent areas sustained TRIs. However, those residing in areas of relatively greater deprivation were more likely to sustain TRIs as pedestrians. Traumatic brain injury was the principal diagnosis among young people admitted to hospital and the leading cause of death after admission to hospital. Conclusions: The study clearly demonstrates that TRIs were the leading cause of injury mortality and a significant contributor to injury morbidity in Scottish young people between 1986 and 1995. This reflects findings from elsewhere in the industrialised world. There appear to be sound economic and social reasons for investing in TRI prevention and the study identified those most at risk. The available evidence on approaches to prevention is relatively weak. Some of the environmental approaches and multi-disciplinary approaches to prevention show promise and could potentially be used to tackle further the relatively high rates of TRIs among young people identified in this study. The capture-recapture exercise clearly demonstrated that data on fatalities from either official source can be used with confidence. However, the…

▼ The goal of this study is to develop risk maps that predict zones that have an increased risk of traffic crashes for utility service trucks of the electric power industry. This study employed a national dataset that contains video logs of driving events from 10,009 utility truck drivers from 2010 to 2014. The study consists of four steps. Step 1 focused on finding whether certain driver behaviors (e.g., traffic violation, distraction, etc.) cluster in the same location as crashes and, therefore, suggest behaviors that are predictive of crashes. The study used Getis-Ord Gi* hot-spot analysis to reveal the clustering pattern within a standard unit of area (at the grid cell level: 1,640 feet by 1,640 feet). The finding of this research indicated that four behaviors ('risky behaviors') consistently cluster with the collision outcomes: distraction, lack of awareness, following too close, and eating/drinking. In Step 2, negative binomial models were used to relate the occurrence of the risky behaviors to a host of geospatial variables (e.g., land use, traffic, and socio-economics) while controlling for the exposure at the grid level (200 feet by 200 feet, roughly the size of a street block). Step 2 was implemented on the three datasets that were assembled based on different levels of availability of the geospatial features. Results indicated that well-balanced land use, road network density, lane-mile density of secondary and primary roads (if urban areas), and high concentration of elderly people (65 years and above) contributed to the prevalence of risky behaviors. Residential neighborhood, local road (if rural area), and average household size were shown to dampen incidence of risky behaviors. Step 3 developed the scoring systems to estimate the overall risk of each risky behavior for a given location (grid). Finally, Step 4 developed risk maps on a 2-D scale to delineate locations into different levels of hazards. In sum, this study confirmed the linkage between driver behavior and collisions and proposed a new way to anticipate crashes. While the test dataset pertains to utility service trucks, the methods can be adapted for predicting locations where the risk of future crashes is higher.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Informal settlements are situated adjacent to the freeway, resulting in pedestrians that cross and walk along the South African freeways regularly. This phenomenon is due to the historical and current demographics, where certain racial groups were forced to move out to the city perimeter. The current economic situation results in informal settlements that grow rapidly. The low-income areas are not provided with proper transport facilities, forcing the residents of the settlements to walk to their destinations. Research indicates that pedestrians tend to walk the shortest path to their destination, resulting in pedestrians that cross the freeway to get to their destinations. The aim of this study is to determine the impact of the land use surrounding pedestrian crashes, the day and time on which the pedestrian crash occurred, the traffic volume and vehicle speed, the vehicle type involved in the crash as well as the number of lanes to cross have on the severity as well as the crash rate of the pedestrian crashes on the Gauteng FMS network. The injuries sustained in the pedestrian crashes was modelled using a binomial logistic model. The crash rate of the pedestrian crashes was modelled using a multinomial logistic model. It was determined that the independent variables for the two models are different, and a clear relationship between the two models was found. The traffic volume on the road, the average travel speed, the day of the crash, the vehicle type involved in the crash as well as the number of lanes to cross had an impact on the probability to sustain fatal injuries in a pedestrian crash. The probability of sustaining fatal injuries increase during the weekend, during the off and night peaks, when the travel speed increase, when the number of lanes to cross increase as well as for the case when a heavy vehicle is involved in the crash. The probability of sustaining fatal injuries decreases as the number of vehicles on the road decreased. The crash rate, on the other hand, was dependent on the traffic volume, vehicle speed, land use, day of the crash, as well as the peak hour in which the crash occurred. It was, however, also determined that the land use attribute might cause this model to predict biased results, and this model was therefore not regarded as an accurate model. The injury model was regarded as a good model, and it was concluded that this model could be applied in other locations in South Africa.

AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Informele nedersettings is geleë aangrensend aan die snelweg, wat lei tot voetgangers wat op ‘n gereelde basis die Suid-Afrikaanse snelweë oorsteek en langs die snelweë loop. Dit is as gevolg van die historiese en huidige demografie waar sekere rassegroepe gedwing is om na die stad grense te skuif. Die huidige ekonomiese situasie lei tot informele nedersettings wat vinnig groei. Die lae-inkomste gebiede is nie voorsien met 'n goeie vervoer fasiliteite nie, en dwing die inwoners van die nedersettings om na hul bestemmings te loop.…

Uma das maiores preocupações dos órgãos responsáveis pelo planejamento do trânsito e também da comunidade científica é encontrar soluções que possam reduzir o número de fatalidades e de feridos por acidentes de trânsito. Analisar os acidente e melhor compreender esses eventos pode ajudar a prevenir ou reduzir a sua ocorrência e o seu impacto. Paralelamente, é preciso buscar dados que expressem a realidade brasileira e que permitam a realização de estudos com base nesses dados. Tendo em vista esses aspectos, esta dissertação apresenta um estudo do registro de fatores contribuintes para os acidentes de trânsito urbanos, discutindo a importância deste tipo de registro como complemento as informações para a análise de segurança e o planejamento de intervenções. Inicialmente, o estudo da literatura permitiu reunir uma listagem ampla de fatores contribuintes. Após, as informações coletadas foram processadas, foram eliminadas redundâncias e superposições e foi gerada uma listagem que compõe um formulário de registro de fatores contribuintes. Este formulário foi aplicado em uma pesquisa prática, para avaliar a potencialidade da metodologia proposta. O estudo, envolvendo revisão da literatura, pesquisa aplicada e entrevista com o gerente de fiscalização de empresa municipal de transportes, revelou que: (i) o registro de fatores contribuintes é uma opção considerada relevante para a obtenção de informações referentes a melhoria da segurança viária; (ii) o formulário desenvolvido para registro dos fatores contribuintes atende as questões de abrangência e facilidade de uso; (iii) utilizando o formulário proposto, esse registro pode ser feito por pesquisadores dedicados, agentes de trânsito ou policiais; (iv) do ponto de vista de entendimento da gênese do acidente e do desenvolvimento de medidas mitigadoras, o levantamento de informações sobre os fatores que contribuem para a ocorrência dos acidentes, de forma direta ou indireta, revela elementos importantes para a promoção da segurança viária.

A major concern of governments and also the scientific community is to find solutions that can reduce the number of fatalities and injuries from traffic accidents. Analyze accidents and better understand these events can help preventing or reducing their occurrence and impact. In parallel, we need to collect data that reflect Brazilian reality and allow studies based on these data. Considering these aspects, this dissertation presents a study of the record of contributing factors for urban traffic accidents, discussing the importance of such information as a complement to safety analysis and intervention planning. Initially, a literature review brought together a broad list of contributing factors. Next, the data were processed, duplication and overlapping were eliminated, and a list that constitutes a contributing factors report form was generated. This report form was applied in a practical research, to evaluate the suitability of the proposed methodology. The study, involving literature review, applied research and interviews with…
