▼ Previous red light camera (RLC) studies have shown reductions in violations and overall and right angle collisions, however, they may also result in increases in rear-end crashes (Retting & Kyrychenko, 2002; Retting & Ferguson, 2003). Despite their apparent effectiveness, many RLC studies have produced imprecise findings due to inappropriate study designs and/or statistical techniques to control for biases (Retting & Kyrychenko, 2002), therefore, a more comprehensive approach is needed to accurately assess whether they reduce motor vehicle injury collisions. The objective of this proposal is to assess whether RLC’s improve safety at signalized intersections within Miami-Dade County, Florida. Twenty signalized intersections with RLC’s initiating enforcement on January 1st, 2011 were matched to two comparison sites located at least two miles from camera sites to minimize spillover effect. An Empirical Bayes analysis was used to account for regression to the mean. Incidences of all injury, red light running related injury, right-angle/turning, and rear-end collisions were examined. An index of effectiveness along with 95% CI’s were calculated. During the first year of camera enforcement, RLC sites experienced a marginal decrease in right-angle/turn collisions, a significant increase in rear-end collisions, and significant decreases in all-injury and red light running-related injury collisions. An increase in right-angle/turning and rear-end collisions at the RLC sites was observed after two years despite camera enforcement. A significant reduction in red light running-related injury crashes, however, was still observed after two years. A non-significant decline in all injury collisions was also noted. Findings of this research indicate RLC’s reduced red light running-related injury collisions at camera sites, yet its tradeoff was a large increase in rear-end collisions. Further, there was inconclusive evidence whether RLC’s affected right-angle/turning and all injury collisions. Statutory changes in crash reporting during the second year of camera enforcement affected the incidence of right-angle and rear-end collisions, nevertheless, a novelty effect could not be ruled out. A limitation of this study was the small number of injury crashes at each site. In conclusion, future research should consider events such as low frequencies of severe injury/fatal collisions and changes in crash reporting requirements when conducting RLC analyses.

▼ Working to increase seatbelt usage among teenagers in rural settings: The Drive Alive Program (Under the direction of Dr. Monica Swahn) Background: Motor vehicle crashes are a leading cause of death in the United States. Teens are less likely to wear seatbelts than other age groups and more likely to be involved in a crash. The Drive Alive program was designed to improve seatbelt usage among teens. Purpose: This analysis aims to evaluate seatbelt use among teen drivers in a rural setting. Specifically, are there differences between males and females in terms of seatbelt use? Are drivers more likely to wear their seatbelts than passengers? Methods: Data was gathered from observational surveys (N= 3,743). Surveys were gathered by trained observers in South Georgia from 2010-2011. Records were analyzed in SPSS using three categories: occupant, sex, and belt use. The null hypotheses for this study are: 1) there is no significant difference between male and female drivers or passengers in seatbelt usage; and, 2) there is no significant difference between driver and passenger seatbelt usage. Results: Descriptive analyses were computed to determine average seatbelt use across all occupants. Chi Square for Independence tests were computed to determine differences between drivers and passengers and males and females. Females were significantly more likely than males to wear their seatbelt (Females, 70%; Males, 59%). There were no significant differences in seatbelt use for drivers and their passengers. Conclusions: Results for females being more likely to wear seatbelts is consistent with the literature. Future research might include comparison between schools with different versions of the program. Programs to increase seatbelt usage among teens should include parents, education, enforcement, teen-led activities, and partnership with educators and community organizations. Save the lives of young drivers by modeling seatbelt wearing, appropriately implementing comprehensive seatbelt use improvement programs, and enforcing the law. These simple measures will improve seatbelt use and reduce roadway fatalities. Advisors/Committee Members: Monica Swahn, PhD, Steve Davidson.

▼ The Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram (MFD) is a common tool of choice for evaluating and controlling urban traffic networks. The MFD captures the relationship between traffic parameters that reflect on the network behaviour, including the average network density, speed and flow. Considerable research has been conducted in recent years on the urban MFD and its use for area-wide network monitoring and control purposes to improve a network's operational efficiency. An important consideration in network traffic performance is its safety performance. However, there is an apparent lack of understanding on how the MFD is connected with road safety. This thesis explores the relationship between MFD and safety performance on urban network, through proposing a novel theoretical model, referred to as a "Macroscopic Safety Diagram" (MSD). The MSD relates the probability of crash occurrence in the network with its current state (i.e., average density). The safety of urban networks is vital given the characteristic nature of urban traffic that is dynamically evolving. In this thesis, a theoretical model is presented to show that MSDs exist for networks that have a well-defined network MFD. Furthermore, a proof is provided to show that the density associated with maximum crash propensity is larger than the density associated with maximum network performance. This finding suggests that congested states are not only inefficient in urban networks, but they might also be more unsafe. These theoretical results are validated using a surrogate safety assessment model in a microsimulation for 2 networks: 1) 10 x 10 grid network and 2) city of Bellevue/Redmond, Washington, USA network. Additionally, field empirical data from a small arterial network in Riyadh, the capital and largest city of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is adopted to validate the results. The existence of such MSDs can be used to evaluate safety performance at the network level. It can also be used to develop more comprehensive network-wide control policies that can ensure both safe and efficient network operations. Advisors/Committee Members: Dixit, vinayak, UNSW.

▼ Motor vehicle crashes are responsible for one in three deaths in young people, aged 15-24 years, in high-income countries including New Zealand. From an international perspective, New Zealand has consistently had one of the highest traffic related death rates for young people. The overarching goal of this research was to identify potentially modifiable parent driving related factors that may inform policy or programmes, to help reduce young driver motor vehicle crash risk. The specific objectives were firstly, to describe parental knowledge, opinions, and experiences with licensing in New Zealand and secondly, to examine the influence of parental knowledge and attitudes towards licensing, parental management of adolescent driving and parental driving behaviour on adolescent compliance with GDLS conditions and crashes as a restricted licence driver. This study (Parent Study) was part of the New Zealand Drivers Study (NZDS), an on-going prospective cohort study of 3992 newly licensed car drivers. NZDS participants were recruited at the learner licence stage, and follow-up was aligned with the stages of GDLS, with telephone interviews at restricted and full licensure. For the Parent Study, at the restricted licence stage 1200 parents of adolescents, aged 15-17 years at learner licensure, were recruited. These 1200 parent-adolescent pairs were the study population to address objective one. 895 of these adolescents progressed to their full licence and completed the follow-up interview. These 895 parent-adolescent pairs were the study population to address objective two. Topics examined in the parent interview included knowledge and attitudes towards GDLS conditions, experience supervising a young driver, management of driving (e.g. rules imposed, delaying licensure, and vehicle choice), their own risky driving behaviour, crashes and driving offences. Adolescent outcomes of interest were compliance with GDLS conditions (breaching GDLS night-time and passenger conditions) and crashes as a driver during the restricted licence stage. Outcome data were obtained in the full licence stage interview. Crash data were also obtained from official police crash records. Findings indicate that after controlling for other variables, the parent factors independently associated with adolescent reporting low compliance with conditions were: low knowledge of GDLS conditions (OR=1.51), few driving rules (OR=1.85), adolescent vehicle ownership (OR=1.53) and parent having a crash (OR=1.41). Parent factors independently associated with an adolescent being a crash involved driver were: not actively delaying licensure and progression (OR=O.52), adolescent vehicle ownership (OR=1.55) and parent having a crash (OR=1.79). Parents of newly licensed drivers would benefit from being better informed regarding the GDLS conditions, vehicle choice and access, and the importance of placing limits on driving and enforcing compliance with licence conditions. Internationally, and in New Zealand there has been an upsurge in young driver… Advisors/Committee Members: Begg, Dorothy (advisor).

▼ The World Health Organization states that road crashes are expected to be the seventh leading cause of death in 2030, with road traffic injuries being the leading cause of death for children and young adults aged between 15 to 29 years of age, and the most contributing factor in road accidents is human error. Passive safety features in vehicles help depreciate serious injury to protect the vehicle occupants in a crash scenario. Some examples of this include seatbelts, crumple zones, airbags, headrests, etc. Although this has been found to be a very effective method, vehicle manufacturers are aiming to assist the driver and alleviate collisions which has resulted in an increase in the development of active safety systems which use sensors to help avoid or mitigate crashes by understanding the state of the vehicle surroundings and the driver. The modern approach to active safety from automotive industries involves building autonomous vehicles to take into account people’s vulnerability to crashes and to be forgiving of common human errors. With respect to assessing active safety systems before the systems are on the market, virtual simulations are gaining momentum when compared to driving thousands of miles for evaluation of active safety functions. But this method of virtual assessment sometimes lack the knowledge of how complex a vehicle model needs to be in order to provide sufficiently accurate results. The aim of this thesis is to study the impact of trajectory and steering model choice on crash avoidance timing by taking into account the drivers' avoidance by steering in a simulation of rear-end conflicts. Three continuous steering avoidance trajectories (Virtual Desired Trajectories; VDTs), based on previous work, is used together with a single-track vehicle model with load transfer effect. A PID controller is used to track these VDTs in simulations applied to the rear-end crashes. The performance metrics in terms of collision avoidance time is evaluated for all three VDTs. Also, a sensitivity analysis is made in three parts, namely, without load transfer effect, increasing the cornering stiffness of the tires and finally by decreasing the cornering stiffness of the tires. It was observed that there were no obvious effects on the overall results in the first two simulations, but some effects were noticeable in the third simulation. The results of the three VDTs when compared, showed an observable difference.

▼ Past research has shown that abdominal injuries account for nearly five percent of all injuries that occur during motor vehicle collisions (MVC) and rank in the top five compared to all body regions. In order to prevent injury to the abdomen, it is necessary to understand the mechanical response of the abdomen under various loading modes. While many studies have looked into mechanical responses of abdomen by subjecting human surrogates to impact conditions such as rigid-bar, seatbelt and airbags, an agreeable correlation between abdominal injuries and injury metric that is not readily available. Such a scenario translates directly to the lack of an injury predictive biofidelic abdomen such as in the Hybrid III (H-III) anthropomorphic test device (ATD), which is currently in use for crash safety regulation. With the rise in use of finite element (FE) models to mimic real world crash scenarios, it is necessary to correlate the virtual human models to injury response and tolerance data from laboratory tests before using them to investigate occupant safety. To address the concerns described above, this study first identified the frequency and severity of abdominal injuries in MVCs with updated case years using the National Automotive Sampling System (NASS) Crashworthiness Data System (CDS) database. Then, the response of post mortem human surrogates (PMHS) was investigated using a simplified and controllable method such as belt loading to the abdomen. The same fixture was employed to test the current state of art abdomen inserts for ATDs to understand their responses to similar loading. A full body human FE model from the Global Human Body Models Consortium (GHBMC) was subjected to seatbelt loading similar to the experimental setup to identify the gaps between experimental and analytical outcomes. Based on the NASS analysis, nearly 18,000 adult occupants sustain abbreviated injury scale (AIS) greater than two abdominal injuries in frontal and side crashes, with more than half of these occurring in frontal crashes alone. An increase in the risk of AIS2+ injury to abdominal organs was observed with increasing crash severity, however the risk remained fairly constant across all age groups. While belted occupants were at lower risk of abdominal injuries compared to the unbelted occupants, it is unclear if the lap belt penetrating into the abdomen was the source of injury for belted occupants. When analyzing the risk of injuries to solid organs such as spleen and liver, the odds of AIS2+ injury occurring to these organs is more when the occupant also sustains AIS2+ rib fractures. However, the occurrence of solid organ injuries in the absence of rib fractures highlights the need for a separate injury criteria for abdomen which does not exist at this time.A total of seven unembalmed PMHS, with an average mass and stature of 71 kg and 174 cm respectively were subjected to belt loading using a seatbelt pull mechanism, with the PMHS seated upright in a free-back configuration. A pneumatic piston pulled a seatbelt into the abdomen… Advisors/Committee Members: Bolte IV, John (Advisor).

▼ This research was conducted to quantify the force required to cause hip fracture, to determine the knee loading conditions that produce hip injuries in frontal crashes, and to develop new injury assessment criteria that allow forces measured by crash test dummy femur and acetabular load cells to be used to accurately assess the risk of knee-thigh-hip injury in motor-vehicle crash tests. Biomechanical testing with specimens from unembalmed human cadavers was performed to determine the injury tolerance of the hip to loading applied to the anterior surface of the flexed knee as a function of hip posture. Hip fracture force data from these tests were used to develop injury risk curves, which relate force applied to the hip to the likelihood of hip fracture. These injury risk curves were combined with data from existing studies on the tolerances of the knee and distal femur to determine forces associated with a 35% risk of injury to all parts of the knee-thigh-hip complex. Symmetric impacts to the knees of whole unembalmed cadavers were performed to collect data that were used to develop and validate a mathematical model that can predict knee impact forces and the decrease in force along the knee-thigh-hip complex under knee impact loading. Simulations with this model demonstrated that, for the majority of knee loading conditions that occur in frontal crashes, the force associated with a 35% risk of hip injury was exceeded before the forces associated with 35% risks of injury to the other parts of the knee-thigh-hip complex were exceeded. Models of the THOR-NT and Hybrid III crash test dummies were also developed and used with the cadaver model in simulations to develop improved injury assessment criteria for these dummies. The new injury assessment criteria define combinations of peak force and impulse, determined from crash test dummy femur and acetabular load cell force measurements, that are associated with a risk of clinically significant injury to the knee-thigh-hip complex that is less than or equal to 35%.

▼ Introduction: Roadway departure crashes, including those involving traffic barriers such as bridge rails and guardrails, tend to be frequent and severe in nature, specifically for roadways serving high traffic volumes at high speeds. In 2013, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) observed that, in the United States, collisions with fixed objects and non-collisions incidents account for only 18 percent of all reported crashes; however they result in 44 percent of all fatal crashes. Methods: That said, this paper explored significant relationships between roadway elements, its surroundings, design, and condition characteristics using statistical analysis and regression modeling to better understand associative properties of roadway and bridge characteristics on the frequency and severity of crashes involving bridges and guardrails. Results: The (crash) frequency results revealed that vehicular crashes involving bridges are very rare events. In the 10-year analysis period from 2004 to 2013, there were merely 862 single-vehicle bridge crashes reported in Iowa. Nonetheless, crashes involving bridges are more frequent on some bridges more than others. In conjunction with previous studies, bridges characterized to have increased traffic volumes and lengths are more susceptible to crashes. In general, bridges designed to old design standards or meeting substandard (superstructure, railing, or alignment) conditions are also more susceptible to crashes over time. Conversely, bridges characterized to have relatively wider widths than their travel ways, and bridges on paved roadways are less susceptible to crashes. The (occupant injury) severity results revealed that collisions involving bridges tend to be more severe for unprotected vehicle occupants. Also, concurrent with past studies, driving under the influence of drug or alcohol increases the probability of more severe injuries. On the contrary, bridge crashes during wet, icy, snowy, or slushy road surface conditions however tend to be less severe. Practical Applications: While the low quantities of bridge crashes on county roads may be indicative of bridge rails and guardrails serving their purpose, the findings of this study can be useful to local public agencies regarding guidance for bridge and barrier rail upgrade standards. Special consideration/emphasis may be placed on bridges possessing certain characteristics because they expect higher crashes, although a relatively small proportion of bridges may actually possess these characteristics. That said, prescriptive guidelines for bridge rail use on county roads may not be necessary, given the rareness and randomness of crash events. However, other effective approaches may include the use of categorical thresholds for establishing practical requirements of when and how county engineers should upgrade bridges.

▼ Background: In Peru, pedestrians are 78% of road fatality victims. The objective of the study was to explore the relationship between signalization for pedestrians, bus stop characteristics, and other features of the walking environment and pedestrian-motor vehicle collisions (PMVCs). Methods: A matched case-control study design was used where the objects of study were crossing locations. A two stage cluster sample was used to select eleven police commissaries in Lima, Peru for study. Case accrual occurred from October, 2010 through January, 2011. Out of 406 PMVCs reported there were 97 incidents at intersections (weighted N=1134) and 40 at mid-blocks (weighted N=469) that met study criteria. Each case was matched to one control based on proximity, street classification and number of lanes. Site characteristics were recorded February, 2011 to September, 2011. Each analysis was controlled for potential confounding variables (vehicle and pedestrian traffic flow, crossing width, and mean vehicle speed) and accounted for the weighted sampling design and matching between case and control sites. Results: Signalization was not significantly associated with PMVCs. The presence of a phased pedestrian signal (green or red-lit signal) was significantly associated with case status compared to no signalization (OR 8.88, 95% CI 1.32-59.6). Longer pedestrian-specific signal duration was associated with an elevated risk for a pedestrian collision (OR 5.31, 95% CI 1.02-9.60 per 15-second interval). Intersections with bus stops were more likely to have a police-reported pedestrian-vehicle collision (OR 3.28, 95% CI 1.53-7.03). Sites with a curb present (OR 0.51, 95% CI 0.33-0.80) or a pedestrian barricade (OR 0.11, 95% CI 0.01-0.96) were significantly less likely to have had a PMVC. The presence of parked vehicles (OR 3.13, 95% CI 1.08-9.05) or street vendors (OR 2.61, 95% CI 1.55-4.37) increased the likelihood of a PMVC. Conclusions: Several features appeared to be beneficial to pedestrians (curbs and pedestrian barricades) and others that may have created dangerous situations for pedestrians (signalization, bus stops at intersections, parked vehicles and street vendors). Pedestrian or driver behaviors could possibly explain some of the findings. Better police enforcement or better feature design may help improve the function of the built environment features.

▼ This study investigates the factors associated with single-vehicle crash injury severity using five years (2014 – 2018) of crash data from Kentucky, USA, using a mixed (random-parameter) logit model. We also explore the temporal heterogeneity of the correlated factors across different times of the day. Most crash-severity models assume that the estimated parameters remain temporally stable. For instance, the effect of light conditions on crash severity may differ based on the time of the crash occurrence—noon vs. dusk. The temporal instability of the factors due to the time-of-day variation can lead to (under) overestimating the parameters that influence the development and implementation of safety countermeasures—crash modification factors and safety performance functions. To account for the temporal variations and associated instability, we estimated crash severity models for five periods of the day: 12 am – 5 am, 5 am – 9 am, 9 am – 2 pm, 2 pm – 7 pm, and 7 pm – 12 am. Each model considers five crash injury-severity outcomes: (a) fatal, (b) suspected serious injury, (c) suspected minor injury, (d) possible injury, and (e) property-damage only (as defined by the Kentucky State Police). Log-likelihood tests confirm the statistical validity of the time-of-day grouping of the crash severity models. The Chi-Square test-statistic indicates the significance of using five different models instead of a single aggregate model for the dataset. The used dataset is a collection of police crash investigation reports, and these reports were prepared after the crashes have occurred. So, data on traffic volume/ADT/AADT were not used for this study. Further, the pseudo direct elasticity values are estimated to find the sensitivity of the explanatory variables—how much change in the probability of different injury outcomes. Explanatory variables such as age, gender, and lighting condition are incorporated into the models to examine the associated effects. Results show that being a female driver increases the probability of fatal injury by 76.85% for crashes occurring in the 5 am to 9 am window. Also, being a driver within the age-group of 50 years or more increases fatality probability by 49.07% for crashes occurring from 2 pm to 7 pm. Alcohol-involvement significantly increases the probability of fatal and severe injury in all the models (five-time periods). Further, our estimated results indicate that icy road surface, losing control of vehicles, and oversteering have a temporally stable effect (do not change across different time-of-the-day models) and are found to have a positive correlation with fatality and severe injury severity outcomes. On the other hand, variables such as drivers younger than 25 years, male drivers, streetlights turned on exhibit varying influence on the injury-severity outcome at different times of a day. The findings of this research can be used to develop (and calibrate) Safety Performance Functions (SPF) and Crash Modification Factors (CMF) for the State of Kentucky. The time-of-day analyses will make…

▼ Objective: Motor vehicle crashes are a huge public health problem. Identifying area characteristics (or aspects of the physical and social environment) and how these area characteristics are associated with driving behaviors and driving outcomes may provide insights into possible prevention strategies. Methods: Quantitative methods were used to analyze survey data collected from Michigan young adults and state driver records. Area-level data were obtained from the Michigan Geographic Data Library road network, Michigan Liquor Control Commission, and U.S. Census Bureau. Area characteristics were conceptualized and operationalized for each study by creating a circular buffer (with a 12.1 mile radius) around each respondent’s geocoded residence to estimate each individual’s area exposure. The first study examined whether roadway characteristics were associated with individual driving behaviors and the likelihood of a crash (casualty or non-casualty). Results: Roadway characteristics were not associated with driving behaviors for either men or women. There was no direct relationship between roadway characteristics and the likelihood of crash. For men, but not for women, the results suggested that the association between the likelihood of casualty crash involvement and high-risk driving was higher with rural roads than urban roads, OR = 1.42, 95% CI [1.08, 1.86]. The second study examined whether area characteristics (alcohol establishment density and proportion of rural population) were associated with drinking behaviors and alcohol-related crashes. Results: There was an inverse relationship between alcohol establishment density and drinking behaviors, which was stronger in women than in men. The results indicated that higher density of alcohol establishments decreased the likelihood of men being involved in an alcohol-related crash OR = 0.014 [95% CI: <0.001, 0.576]. The last study examined the potential role of social influences (i.e., social approval for drink/driving) in explaining the relationship between area characteristics and participant perceptions of drink/driving as dangerous. Results: For both men and women there was a positive relationship between alcohol establishment density and perceptions of drink/driving as dangerous. Social approval for drink/driving was a potential mediator for women, but not for men. Dissertation Conclusion: More research is needed to elucidate the relationship between drink/driving and alcohol establishment density among young adults. Advisors/Committee Members: Parker, Edith A.

▼ This research focuses on methods to reduce injuries, specifically in the head and neck region, sustained by children seated in forward facing child restraint system during a vehicle crash. Three standardized experimental tests were considered in this research for the purpose of model validation and to quantify the injury potential sustained by children in a crash: (i) frontal dynamic sled tests were completed in accordance with FMVSS 213 using a Hybrid III 3-year-old dummy in a five point restraint system, (ii) full frontal vehicle crash test was completed in accordance with the CMVSS 208 with a Hybrid III 3-year-old child dummy, seated behind the passenger seat, restrained in five-point restraint system, and (iii) side impact dynamic sled tests in the presence of a rigid wall and absence of a vehicle body (near side configuration) were conducted by NHTSA using a Hybrid III 3-year-old child dummy seated in a convertible forward/rearward child safety seat. A finite element model of the child restraint seat was developed utilizing CAD data provided by Century/Graco Corporation. Material tests were conducted to obtain the nonlinear material properties of the CRS polypropylene, child seatbelt webbing, and polymeric foams. Numerical simulations were conducted using LS-DYNA, and the simulation results of the frontal and side impact tests were observed to be in a good agreement to the experimental findings. An average percentage error of approximately 20 percent was observed between the numerical and experimental data. Different countermeasures were investigated to mitigate the head and neck injury potential in frontal and side impact crashes. These methods involved numerical studies utilizing a Hybrid III 3-year-old dummy, Q3/Q3s dummies and a child FE model. Load limiting behaviour into the upper tether and lower LATCH anchors of the CRS in order to reduce the neck injury criteria by increasing forward head excursion in a frontal crash was first examined. It was observed that the implementation of load limiting behaviour in the CRS tethers was effective in reducing the head and neck injury criteria by approximately 60 percent and 35 percent respectively. Secondly, a head and neck restraining device was developed to limit the amount of neck rotation in the dummy's head. A reduction of approximately 50 to 60 percent was observed in the head and neck injury potential in the presence of the head and neck restraining device. Finally, numerical simulations were completed with rectangular and cross-shaped sections of rigid ISOFIX systems for better side impact protection. In addition, studies were conducted to confine lateral movement of the dummy's head by incorporating energy absorbing foam on the side wings in the vicinity of the contact region of the CRS. It was observed that the use of the rigid ISOFIX system reduced the lateral displacement of the CRS and different injury parameters. Addition of energy absorbing foam blocks was effective in further reducing the lateral displacement of the dummy's head by… Advisors/Committee Members: William Altenhof.

▼ The lower extremities are the body region at greatest risk of serious injury in frontal motor-vehicle crashes. Age, sex, and body mass index (BMI) affect the risks of clinically significant lower-extremity injuries such that women, older occupants, and occupants with higher BMI are at increased risk of these injuries in frontal crashes. Computational simulation is the most efficient way to characterize the biomechanical factors that explain the effects of age, sex, and BMI on lower-extremity injury risk. This type of simulation requires a finite element (FE) model with geometry that is parametric with these characteristics. This research developed and validated such a parametric FE whole-body model and used it to explore the effects of variations in lower-extremity geometry, material properties, body size, and body shape on lower-extremity injury risk. The parametric whole-body FE model was based on statistical models of lower-extremity bone surface geometry and cross-sectional geometry. These models were developed by morphing and fitting template FE meshes onto bone geometries extracted from CT data. Principal component analysis was applied to the resulting nodal coordinates and linear regression on principal component scores was used to develop models that describe how geometry varies with age, stature, and BMI. The parametric FE whole-body model was developed by combining the mesh geometries predicted by the statistical lower-extremity bone models, an existing external body surface shape model, and material properties that varied with age. Whole-body FE models associated with specific sets of characteristics were developed by positioning the lower-extremity bones inside the external surface model using surface model landmarks. A template whole-body mesh was then morphed to the external surface shape using the positioned lower-extremity bone models as fixed location landmarks. Simulations were performed with these models to investigate effects of occupant characteristics on lower-extremity injury risk. Frontal crash simulations with the whole-body models showed that age and BMI significantly affect strain values and peak forces, agreeing with the hypotheses that elderly and high BMI occupants are at increased risk of lower-extremity injury.

▼ Abstract : INTRODUCTION: Young people under 25 represent the group of drivers most involved in motor vehicle crashes (MVC). The aim of this study is to determine the significance of certain human and road environment factors in weekend night crashes involving young drivers. The hypotheses postulate higher odds of crash occurrence on weekend nights, as compared to crashes at other times during the week, when there is the presence of a single risk factor and two risk factors. METHOD: This cross-sectional study examines MVC causing minor, severe or fatal injuries in Quebec drivers aged 16 to 24. The information pertaining to the 58 478 MVC that occurred from 2007 to 2011 and the factors associated with these MVC comes from the databank of the Société de l’assurance automobile du Québec. Weekend night MVC (Friday to Saturday and Saturday to Sunday from 8:00 p.m. to 4:59 a.m.) are compared to MVC occurring at other times of the week. The significance of human factors (e.g., driving under the influence) and road environment factors (e.g., curves) in these crashes is assessed using binary and multinomial logistic regression analyses. FINDINGS: Several factors are associated with the increased odds of an MVC occurring on weekend nights, as compared to other times of the week. These factors include, by order of decreasing significance: driving under the influence (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 5.05 and 99% confidence interval [99% CI] = 4.53‒5.64), fatigue and sleep (AOR = 2.40; 99% CI = 2.12‒2.73), presence of passengers (AOR = 1.81; 99% CI = 1.69‒1.94), male gender (AOR = 1.36; 99% CI = 1.27‒1.46), curves (AOR = 1.21; 99% CI = 1.11‒1.32), and speed (AOR = 1.18; 99% CI = 1.09‒1.28). The findings on the presence of two of these factors suggest the significance of driving under the influence. The odds of MVC occurrence are particularly high when the presence of driving under the influence and another factor is compared against the absence of these two factors. In such instances, the odds of MVC occurrence range from 5.33 (99% CI = 4.40‒6.45) when curves are also involved to 7.68 (99% CI = 6.52‒9.05) when passengers are also present. CONCLUSION: This study determined the significance of several risk factors, particularly driving under the influence, in young drivers’ involvement in MVC on weekend nights. The findings suggest various strategies to better target driving under the influence, including gradual access to driving with young passengers at night after obtaining a driver’s licence.

▼ This thesis looked at traffic crashes in the emirate of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to establish the current situation in road safety and ways of improving it. A global overview of road safety literature revealed that standards of road safety vary widely by region. Key indicators like fatality rate and risk (Jacobs et al, 2000) were found to be higher in most neighbouring Gulf Cooperative Council (GCC) countries (10-25 fatalities/100,000 pop., 3-5 fatalities/10,000 motor vehicles) than in the best-performing Western countries (6 fatalities/100,000 pop., 1 fatality/10,000 motor vehicles). Interventions and countermeasures to tackle specific road safety issues were reviewed from international studies. Countermeasures were chosen with consideration for the local situation in Dubai within the categories of Human, Environmental and Vehicle factors. Examples of selected measures include offending driver punishment (Human), Electronic Stability Control (Vehicle) and central barriers (Environment). These measures were mostly studied in different environments to those in Dubai so the aspect of knowledge transfer between areas of different cultural and environmental conditions was discussed. Data from real world injury crashes (as collected by Dubai Police and the Roads & Transport Authority) over twelve years (1995 2006) were subject to macroanalysis in SPSS to identify the main issues over the past decade. 18,142 crashes involving 30,942 casualties and 48,960 vehicles were analysed at the outset. The following issues were among the main concerns: - High proportion of fatal crashes out of all injury crashes (13.5% compared to 1.4% in the UK); - Most fatal crashes involved a single vehicle hitting a pedestrian; - Most injury crashes involved a single vehicle; - Inconsiderate driving was the most common crash cause cited by the police. Countermeasures found in the literature to counteract these problems were then suggested for application and the estimated savings from applying them were calculated. Savings were quantified as either reductions in casualties or injury crashes. Furthermore, cost savings for the calculated reductions were estimated using existing UK crash costs due to the scarcity of UAE crash cost estimates. Calculation of the estimated improvement in safety if these countermeasures were applied retrospectively meant a reduction of 4,634 injury crashes and 1,555 casualties over the 12-year period with an estimated cost saving of approximately £368 million or 2.7 billion Dirhams. To refine this method more detailed data on crashes were required and collected from the dedicated crash investigation team files in Dubai Police for 2006 and part of 2007. This new dataset (300 crashes) was put into a purpose-built database with over 140 fields and subject to microanalysis to more accurately match the problems and interventions. Six interventions were matched to individual cases in the database where they would have positively altered the outcome. This process was verified by independent crash experts and…
