This study tried to focus on the older drivers' group and explore the impact factors of injury severity involving older drivers from geo-spatial analysis. To reach the goal, a spatial analysis was proposed employing geographic information systems (GIS) with a case study application to two counties in Nevada. First, crash clusters were explored using Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise (DBSCAN) approach to investigate the spatial crash pattern for older drivers, and determine high risk locations of injury severity.

In this study, the analysis of 2824 vulnerable road users (VRU) accident data from China's FASS (Future mobile traffic Accident Scenario Study) database indicates that VRU side impacts are the most common collision scenarios. A typical accident (minivan-toeBike) from the FASS database was selected for accident reconstruction. WordSID thorax module has been employed to evaluate e-Bike rider thorax injuries and its kinematic difference has been investigated as well.

Pedestrian and bicyclist fatalities have increased over the past decade in the United States. Factors proposed to explain this increase include the increased popularity of larger passenger vehicles, road design to accommodate faster-moving traffic, and poor road infrastructure. We analyzed a series of 102 pedestrian and bicyclist fatalities to determine which factors were involved.

Estimating reliable causal estimates of road safety interventions is challenging, with a number of these challenges addressable through analysis choices. At a minimum, developing reliable crash modification factors (CMFs) needs to address three critical confounding factors, i.e.

The focus of this study is to investigate the underexplored operational effects of disengagements on the speed of an automated shuttle, providing novel insights into their disruptive impact on performance metrics. For this purpose, global positioning system data, disengagement records, weather reports, and roadway geometry data from an automated shuttle pilot program, from July to December 2023, at the University of North Carolina in Charlotte, were collected. The automated shuttle uses sensors for localization, navigation, and obstacle detection.
