Key factors related to traffic crashes by Malyar TalashMalyar Talash
This document discusses key factors related to traffic crashes. It identifies the six main safety factors as weather, light, the vehicle, the road, traffic, and the driver. The driver's condition and actions are described as the most critical factor influencing safety. Statistics are presented on hospitalization times by age following crashes. Senior drivers may have reduced abilities to recognize hazards and respond appropriately. Recommendations include driving at lower speeds, especially in poor conditions, to maintain control and allow time to brake.
This presentation will discuss the difficult regulatory issues surrounding introducing self-driving cars onto our roadways. Many novel questions will be discussed, such as how to allocate liability for an autonomous vehicle, the self-driving cars’ impact on public transportation and infrastructure, and personal privacy concerns.
The Better Driver Campaign was launched by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District 7 and the Center for Urban Transportation Research (CUTR) at the University of South Florida (USF) to help truck and passenger car drivers understand and deal with the hazards of aggressive driving. The campaign included billboards, a website, and surveys of drivers which found that "cutting off" was the most upsetting maneuver reported by truck drivers while "tailgating" upset passenger car drivers the most. Surveys also indicated the campaign was successful in increasing awareness of aggressive driving and reducing the number of truck drivers who reported encountering other aggressive drivers daily.
Bike Walk Central Florida is a nonprofit organization that aims to make biking and walking the norm in central Florida. They are working to address the dangerous conditions for pedestrians and bicyclists in the region. Their Best Foot Forward initiative uses education, engineering, and enforcement strategies to systematically improve safety. Initial results show they have increased driver yield rates to pedestrians in marked crosswalks from baseline levels measured in 2012.

Gerene Denning, of the University of Iowa Department of Emergency Services, presented this at CPSC's ATV Safety Summit Oct. 12, 2012. High Proportions of Roadway Deaths and Injuries on ATVs Suggest Poor Knowledge and Compliance with Road Use Laws. Objectives: To compare fatal and non-fatal ATV crashes on and off the road. Methods: Retrospective studies were performed using national fatality data (CPSC) and statewide injury data. Results: From 1985-2009, 62% of U.S. ATV deaths resulted from roadway crashes, and roadway deaths since 1998 have increased at a greater rate than off-road deaths. Fatal roadway crashes were more likely than off-road crashes to result in multiple deaths and to involve multiple riders, higher alcohol use, more collisions, and more head injuries. Similarly, non-fatal Iowa roadway crashes (2002-2009) involved more passengers, alcohol use, and collisions as compared to off-road crashes. Helmet use was significantly lower in roadway crashes relative to off-road; and more severe injuries overall, including head injuries, characterized roadway crashes. Both studies showed helmets reduced the likelihood of head injury. Conclusion: Despite road use laws, over half of U.S. ATV-related deaths and one-third of serious injuries in Iowa resulted from roadway crashes. We hypothesize that multiple risk factors exacerbate the inherent difficulty of safely operating ATVs on roads, and that speed and lack of protective equipment increase injury severity. Improving knowledge and enforcement of road use laws may be an effective way to reduce ATV-related deaths and injuries.
There are three main types of driver distraction: visual, manual, and cognitive. Distracted driving can endanger drivers, passengers, and bystanders. Common distractions include texting, cell phone use, eating, talking to passengers, and adjusting devices. In 2010, nearly 3,000 people were killed and over 400,000 injured in distraction-affected crashes. Teen drivers under 20 and drivers using handheld devices are especially at risk of crashes from distraction. States are passing laws against distracted driving to increase awareness and prevent accidents.

Road traffic accidents occur when a vehicle collides with another vehicle or object on a public road. They are a major public health issue and one of the leading causes of death globally for people aged 5-29. In Nepal, about 7 people die every day from road accidents, which account for 7% of all deaths in the country. The number of accidents and deaths from accidents has been increasing in Nepal over the past decade. Common causes of road accidents include speeding, drunk driving, not wearing seatbelts or helmets, and violating traffic rules. Preventive measures like enforcing speed limits, seatbelt and helmet laws, banning phone use while driving, and improving road infrastructure can help reduce accidents.
Driver distraction, including cell phone use, contributes to 20-30% of vehicle collisions. While hands-free phones allow drivers to keep hands on the wheel, studies show driver inattention is the larger issue and hands-free phones pose similar risks. Some states and countries restrict cell phone use while driving, but studies show education may be more effective than penalties alone at changing behavior and improving safety.

This document provides an overview of a driver safety course, including statistics about vehicle crashes and their causes. It notes that over 40,000 people are killed annually in the US from vehicle crashes. The leading causes of crashes are identified as lack of attention (such as cell phone use), lack of space, speeding, and alcohol impairment. Specific dangers of behaviors like texting, interacting with passengers, and speeding are described through crash examples and statistics. The goal is to convince drivers to change unsafe habits and pay full attention in order to reduce crash risks.
This document summarizes road safety trends and vulnerable groups in South Asia. It finds that road traffic injuries disproportionately impact males aged 20-40 who often use motorcycles. Pedestrians, especially women and children, are also highly vulnerable. Data on road crashes is often scarce and inconsistent across South Asia. Young drivers, pedestrians, public transport users, and the disabled are particularly at risk due to unsafe infrastructure, reckless driving, and lack of road safety measures. Better road design, traffic enforcement, and safety education are needed to reduce crashes and protect vulnerable groups.

The document summarizes Portland, Oregon's strategies for increasing bicycle transportation over several decades. Key strategies included building out a 650-mile bikeway network, implementing encouragement programs, securing political and funding support, and innovating designs to improve bicyclist safety, comfort and access. As a result, bicycle commuting in Portland increased over 600% between 1991-2010, modal share of bicycling rose to over 7% of all trips, and bicycling is now widely accepted as part of daily life.
Road safety and accident prevention in IndiaRohit Sharma
Road accidents are a human tragedy. They involve high human suffering and monetary costs in terms of untimely deaths, injuries and loss of potential income. Although we have undertaken many initiatives and are implementing various road safety improvement program the overall situation as revealed by data is far from satisfactory. During the calendar year 2010, there were close to 5 lakh road accidents in India, which resulted in more than 1.3 lakh persons. These numbers translate intone road accident every minute, and one road accident death every 4 minutes. Unfortunately, more than half the victims are in the economically active age group of 25-65 years. The loss of the main bread winner can be catastrophic.
Road traffic accidents are amenable to remedial action. Many a countries have curbed the menace of road accidents by
adopting a multipronged approach to road safety that encompasses broad range of measures, such as, traffic management, design and quality of road infrastructure, application of intelligent transport system, safer vehicles, law enforcement, effective and quick accident response and care etc. The Government alone cannot tackle road safety problems. There is a need for active involvement of all stake- holders to promote policy reform and implementation of road safety measures.
Addressing road safety is comprehensive manner underscores the need to involve multiple agencies and sectors like health, transport and police. The present study provides the magnitude and various dimensions of road accident in India. The analysis on road accidents in this study will help to create awareness, guidelines and assist in informed decision making on road safety.
Public service announcements can help reduce distracted driving incidents by educating people on the dangers. Any activity while driving, such as texting, eating, or adjusting the radio is a distraction. In 2012, over 3,000 people were killed and over 400,000 injured in crashes involving distracted drivers, a nine percent increase from 2011. While some critics argue PSAs may not reach all audiences or change behaviors, images in PSAs can be powerful and studies show campaigns have effectively changed unsafe driving habits when they promote strong anti-distracted driving messages that people can relate to.
This document discusses using driver state monitoring and feedback systems to enhance traffic safety. It summarizes that driver state factors like distraction, impairment, and drowsiness contribute to a major portion of crashes. Monitoring technologies like eye tracking can assess driver state in real-time by measuring visual distraction, drowsiness, and impairment. Experiments show measures like total eyes-off-road time and reaction times correlate with degraded driving performance when distracted. Driver state monitoring has potential to prevent crashes by modifying risky behavior and integrating with other safety systems.
This document provides an overview of car accidents in Houston, Texas. It discusses common causes of accidents like drinking and driving, red light running, distracted driving, and rear-end collisions. It also outlines typical injuries from accidents like whiplash, back injuries, and spinal cord injuries. The document gives advice on steps to take after an accident, such as calling 911 if anyone is injured, calling the police, and seeking medical attention. It provides guidance on information to gather and share with a personal injury attorney, such as details on the accident, other drivers, witnesses, medical records, and vehicle damage details.

Pedestrian and bicycle safety involves crossing streets at corners, looking both ways, and walking facing traffic. Bicyclists should ride with traffic, wear a helmet, and use lights and reflective gear at night. Drivers should practice defensive driving by allowing space between vehicles and avoiding road rage. Motorcycle riders should wear protective gear like helmets and have greater visibility to reduce accidents.

This document provides an overview of the Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS). It discusses the history of TCAS, which began development in the 1970s following several mid-air collisions. It then describes the components and functions of TCAS, including how it detects intruder aircraft, issues traffic advisories and resolution advisories, and uses specific symbology in its displays. The document also outlines pilots' and air traffic controllers' responsibilities during TCAS advisories to maintain safety. In summary, TCAS is an airborne collision avoidance system that monitors nearby aircraft and issues alerts to pilots if there is a potential collision threat.
Android Implementation using MQTT ProtocolFatih Özlü
This document describes an Android application that was created to receive sensor data from a classroom environment via MQTT. The application was designed to subscribe to predefined topics to receive messages about sensor events from a CEP engine. It displays the sensor data and complex events in visualizations and on different activity screens corresponding to the classroom setup. The application was tested by running a simulator that published simulated sensor data to topics, and a CEP engine that processed the data and published complex events.
The document discusses different types of sensors based on their output and principles of operation. There are discrete (digital) sensors that provide a single logical output and proportional (analog) sensors that provide an output such as voltage or current. Optical, inductive, reed, magnetic, and capacitive sensors are described in terms of their operating principles, outputs, advantages, and limitations. Symbols are provided for common sensor types.
Highway crash data with average of 39 thousand fatalities and 2.4 million nonfatal injuries per year have repetitive and predictable patterns, and may benefit from statistical predictive
models to enhance highway safety and operation efforts to reduce crash fatalities/injuries. Highway crashes have patterns that repeat over fixed periods of time within the data set for
crashes such as motorcycle, bicycles, pedestrians, nighttime, fixed object, weekend, and winter crashes. In some States, these crashes are weekly, monthly, or seasonally. Contributing
factors such as: age category, light condition, weather, weekday, underlying state of the economy, and others impact these variations.

This document summarizes statistics on pedestrian and bicycle crashes and fatalities from 2012. It finds that in 2012, pedestrians accounted for 14.1% of all traffic fatalities and bicyclists accounted for 2.2%. The highest rates of pedestrian and bicyclist fatalities were among those ages 65 and older. The document also examines rates of alcohol involvement, distracted driving risks, frequency of walking and bicycling, perceptions of safety threats, and helmet use trends over time. It concludes by providing an overview of NHTSA resources on pedestrian and bicyclist safety data and countermeasures.
The purpose of this section is to increase Council’s understanding of residents’ knowledge, attitudes, behaviour and perception of safety with regards to road use within the City of Stonnington. The results will assist Council’s Transport Department in future program planning and service delivery.
This document provides a summary report of a road safety survey conducted by the Stonnington Survey Group in March 2015. Some key findings from the survey include:
- The majority of respondents were concerned about pedestrian (80%) and cyclist (73%) safety.
- The top road safety concerns for pedestrians were reported as pedestrian behavior/awareness of vehicles (66%), driver awareness of pedestrians (61%), and speeding vehicles (52%).
- The top suggested measures to improve pedestrian safety were improving footpaths (46%), more median line markings (34%), and reducing speed limits (32%).
- The top road safety concerns for cyclists were reported as driver awareness of cyclists (73%),
Achieving Safety Results by Addressing Behavioral IssuesRPO America
This document summarizes a presentation about achieving transportation safety results by addressing behavioral issues. The presentation discusses how analyzing crash data can identify key behavioral risks like speeding, impairment, and distraction. It encourages participants to develop strategies targeting these risks using the 4 E's of safety - education, enforcement, engineering, and emergency response. Resources for funding behavioral programs through highway safety offices and grants are also presented. The goal is to engage regional transportation planning organizations in behavioral safety solutions to work toward zero traffic deaths.
- The document provides statistics on road accidents in India in 2016, with data collected from state police departments. Some key figures include 480,652 total accidents, 1,50,785 deaths, and 494,624 injuries. The majority of accidents, deaths, and injuries were reported in just 13 states. Drivers' faults such as speeding were the main contributing factor in the majority of accidents. Accident rates were highest among 18-34 year olds and two-wheeler riders had the most deaths. Strengthening enforcement of safety laws and prioritizing safety of vulnerable road users were recommended.
Effective Strategies for Shifting Behaviors, Presentation 2Trailnet
The document summarizes Portland, Oregon's strategies for increasing bicycle transportation over several decades. Key strategies included building out a 650 mile bikeway network, implementing bicycle-friendly policies, funding bicycle infrastructure, and expanding encouragement programs. As a result, bicycle commuting in Portland increased from 2,850 daily trips in 1992 to over 17,500 in 2010, and now accounts for over 8% of all commutes.
A presentation given at the 2016 Traffic Safety Conference during the Opening Session. By Commissioner Jeff Moseley of the Texas Transportation Commission
The document discusses urban road safety in India, including current challenges and opportunities. It notes that the number of vehicles on roads is rising rapidly due to population and economic growth, creating congestion and unsafe conditions. Road infrastructure is often limited and enforcement of traffic laws is weak. Pedestrians and motorcyclists account for the majority of road deaths, with many occurring because people do not follow traffic rules or use unsafe road crossings. Improving road infrastructure, enforcing regulations more strongly, and educating all road users will be important to enhance urban road safety in India.
This document discusses bicycle safety and activity in College Station, Texas. It provides data on bicycle crashes from 2010-2019, showing the majority involve vehicles. The top bicycle corridors and factors contributing to crashes are identified. Current city efforts to promote safety through planning, infrastructure, education and enforcement are outlined. Potential strategies proposed include a county-wide safety campaign, supporting state legislation, and continuing engineering, education and targeted enforcement initiatives.
The survey of over 800 participants in the 2017 Bike to Work Day in Albuquerque found that most felt biking was getting better due to improved infrastructure like bike lanes and trails, but many still felt unsafe due to issues like speeding drivers, lack of safe routes, and poor maintenance. Key factors for riders in choosing routes included less vehicle traffic, bike lanes, and slower speeds. While 69% felt biking was improving, others felt it was staying the same or getting worse due to lack of infrastructure, driver behavior, and lack of maintenance. The full report provides more details on barriers to biking, infrastructure priorities, and comparisons to the 2016 survey.
This document discusses how the Texas Department of Public Safety's Highway Safety Operations Center collects and analyzes crash, criminal, and traffic enforcement data to help combat impaired driving. The HSOC provides analytical reports and data products to DPS and partner agencies. Analysis of holiday and weekend crash data found higher rates of impaired driving crashes on those days. Breaking data down by specific areas can help target enforcement efforts. The goals of the HSOC include statistical trend analysis and rapid assessment of incidents on Texas highways.

It notes that almost 60% of Medford residents ride bikes based on a city survey. However, the city's bike lanes are often too narrow and bike facilities do not meet the needs of all ages and abilities. The document advocates for building a low-stress bike network using approaches like bicycle boulevards, protected bike lanes, and shared-use paths to attract more riders beyond confident cyclists and encourage increased biking rates.
The document is the National Transport & Safety Authority's 2015 Road Safety Status Report. Some key points:
- Over 3,000 annual road crash deaths occur in Kenya, with pedestrians comprising 40% of fatalities. Crashes cost Kenya 5.6% of GDP annually.
- Fatality rates per 100,000 population and per 10,000 vehicles have declined from 2005-2015, though absolute fatality numbers remain high.
- Most crashes occur on weekends and between 5pm-10pm, likely due to higher traffic volumes and risk factors like speeding and drunk driving.
- The most affected age group for fatalities is 20-44 years old. Nairobi County has the highest absolute
The document summarizes NHTSA's motorcycle safety program and research. Key points include:
- Alcohol impairment, speeding, and invalid licenses are common factors in motorcycle crashes. Helmet use reduces fatalities.
- Research focuses on impairment levels, crash causes, helmet laws, and rider education.
- Programs promote rider training and licensing, address impaired riding, encourage helmet and protective gear use, and raise motorist awareness. Grants support state safety efforts.
This document discusses road safety as a global problem and provides statistics and information about road accidents in various countries and Malaysia specifically. Some key points:

Traffic Safety Programs must be both ACCOUNTABLE and EFFECTIVE.
The overall goal of the traffic safety program is to reduce pedestrian and bicyclist fatalities and serious injuries
resulting from traffic crashes.
What Counts?
Outcomes count. While most behavioral programs measure effectiveness by output, this program looks at the
outcomes that result from those output. This is called an Impact Evaluation.
When making recommendations keep in mind the degree of influence the recommendation has on resolving the
issue.
What Can’t Be Counted?
Activities and costs vital to the success of the program, such as outreach to increase awareness of traffic laws, is
difficult, if not impossible to count. We know these things are necessary, and complete administrative evaluations that
provides a complete description of activities and costs of these types of items.
These types of items should be included in your recommendations, but note they should be vital to the success of the
program.
