This paper aims at explaining the results of a recent empirical study that found that when
cars of unequal mass crash into each other, the ratio of driver fatality risk in the lighter car to …

Two-vehicle crashes have been dominating all types of traffic accidents, wherein the vehicle
drivers have been sustaining the highest risk of injury among all vehicle occupants. To …

This paper seeks to investigate the effects of passengers on driver-injury severities. Using
single-vehicle crashes, a random parameters logit model with heterogeneity in parameter …

The link between risk-taking behavior in various aspects of life has long been an area of
debate among economists and psychologists. Using an extensive data set from Denmark …

This work was performed to determine relations between car mass and driver injuries
(serious or fatal) when cars of similar mass crash into each other head-on. This type of crash …

In attempts to soothe the nascent fear of the scheduled airline traveler, passengers waiting
takeoff are sometimes reminded of the cliche that they may have already completed the most …

A new mathematical model was developed to estimate average injury and fatality rates in
frontal car-to-car crashes for changes in vehicle fleet mass, impact speed distribution, and …

Macroscopic traffic crash analyses have been conducted to incorporate traffic safety into
long-term transportation planning. This study aims at developing a multivariate Poisson …

In order to determine if accident involvement rate depends on car size, accidents per unit
distance of travel were examined as a function of car mass using police reported crashes for …

In his latest overview published as an “Opinion”, Wilde asserts that “The theory of risk
homeostasis (also known as 'risk compensation') was primarily developed and validated in …
