In order to determine the accuracy of self-report of on-road crashes and traffic offences among participants in the DRIVE study, 2991 young drivers in New South Wales, Australia who completed the follow-up questionnaire were asked whether they had been involved in an on-road crash or were convicted for a traffic offence while driving during the year prior to the survey. This information was linked to police crash data to determine the level of accuracy of self-report of on-road crashes. There was a high level of accuracy in young drivers' self-report of police recorded crashes (85.1%; 95% CI 78.2% to 92.1%) and of police recorded traffic offences (83.0%; 95% CI 79.4% to 86.6%). Results suggest that surveys may be useful tools for estimating the incidence of on-road crashes and traffic offences in young drivers. The findings are particularly relevant to jurisdictions where access to administrative data is limited.

Accurate prediction and causal analysis of road crashes are crucial for improving road safety. One critical indicator of road crash severity is whether the involved vehicles require towing. Despite its importance, limited research has utilized this factor for predicting vehicle towing probability and analyzing its causal factors.

Background And Objective: Relevant research has provided valuable insights into risk factors for bicycle crashes at intersections. However, few studies have focused explicitly on three common types of bicycle crashes on road segments: overtaking, rear-end, and door crashes. This study aims to identify risk factors for overtaking, rear-end, and door crashes that occur on road segments.

Meta-analyses, which present the best source of information on the effectiveness of interventions, are influenced by several biases. One category relates to the convenience of selective inclusion of those primary studies, which are more easily available than others. This availability bias includes bias from excluding the grey literature, bias from excluding non-English literature, and bias from excluding older studies.

Objectives: In conditional automation for automated vehicles (AVs), drivers are tasked with remaining vigilant and ready to assume control should the system encounter a malfunction. However, little to no information is provided to the driver either about the AV's intended maneuvers or the AV's awareness of potential threats in the surrounding environment. To address this research gap, the present study proposes 2 human-machine interaction (HMI) concepts: Firstly, the shared intended pathway (SIP), which presents a forecast of the AV's intended maneuvers and, secondly, object recognition bounding boxes (ORBBs), which place transparent blue squares around other road users likely to contribute to a crash.
