Abstract
Abstract Iran experiences notably high rates of road crashes, particularly on suburban roads. This study analysed 27,729 crash records from the Isfahan Province Traffic Police, collected between 2018 and 2020, to identify factors influencing crash severity and distinguish between fatal and non-fatal incidents. Using Chi-square tests and logistic regression in SPSS 27, the findings indicate that 6.1% of the analysed crashes (1,692 incidents) were fatal. Driver inattention was the predominant cause of these crashes, accounting for 54.2% of cases. Factors that exacerbated crash severity included night-time conditions (OR = 1.22), passenger vehicles (OR = 1.34), motorcycles (OR = 1.68), rainy weather (OR = 1.75), and incidents occurring on Wednesdays (OR = 1.22). Conversely, elements that were found to mitigate severity included older drivers (OR = 0.99), heavy vehicles (OR = 0.78), buses (OR = 0.35), cloudy weather (OR = 0.66), and occurrences during spring and autumn (OR = 0.84 and 0.80, respectively). These findings suggest that implementing enhanced driver training programs and weather-specific safety measures could significantly reduce the severity of road crashes in Iran.
Vehicular accidents continue to pose a serious threat to public safety, economic stability, and transportation
management in the Philippines, particularly in rapidly urbanizing cities such as Balanga City, Bataan. This study aimed to
determine the rates of vehicular accidents on highways and municipal roads in the City...

OBJECTIVES
Road traffic accidents are one of the leading causes of injury and death compared to other causes. Pedestrians are highly vulnerable when they use the roads. When involved in road traffic accidents, pedestrians may experience dangerous, potentially fatal impacts when they are involved in road traffic acciden...
As U.S. cities expand multimodal transportation networks and pursue Vision Zero goals, crash severity among pedestrians and bicyclists remains a critical public safety challenge. Charlotte, NC, offers a timely case study given its rapid urban growth, rising active transportation demand, and commitment to Vision Zero. T...
