THIS PAPER ADDRESSES THE PROBLEM OF TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS INVOLVING YOUNG ADULTS: specifically, what is known about the causes of their accidents, and what preventive action seems warranted. In this context, we consider what role the family physician might play in dealing with this major public health problem.

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.

Article Synopsis
- A classification prediction model using Gradient Boosting Decision Tree (GBDT) is developed to analyze factors leading to escape behaviors in hit-and-run crashes, based on data from the U.S. Crash Report Sampling System (CRSS).
- GBDT outperforms other common methods like CART, Random Forest, and Logistic Regression, achieving the best metrics (lowest negative log-likelihood, misclassification rate, and highest AUC) and showcasing better computational efficiency.
- The GBDT model uncovers previously unmentioned factors, such as crash type and relation to the trafficway, and effectively studies interactions between variables, providing valuable insights for improving hit-and-run incident prevention and safety analysis.
Assessment of the correlation between the Vittel criteria and the ISS score: A novel approach to pre-hospital severe trauma patient's triage.

Unlabelled: Introduction-Aim: Validated triage tools such as the Vittel criteria are essential to improve the care of trauma patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between the Vittel triage criteria and the Injury Severity Score (ISS) to improve the accuracy of pre-hospital triage.
Methods: We conducted a longitudinal study of all trauma patients transported by EMS over a two-year period (November 2021- November 2023).
Incident duration prediction through integration of uncertainty and risk factor evaluation: A San Francisco incidents case study.

Predicting incident duration and understanding incident types are essential in traffic management for resource optimization and disruption minimization. Precise predictions enable the efficient deployment of response teams and strategic traffic rerouting, leading to reduced congestion and enhanced safety. Furthermore, an in-depth understanding of incident types helps in implementing preventive measures and formulating strategies to alleviate their influence on road networks.
