“…Motorcycle-related crashes have long been a major research concern. Researchers have attempted to establish predictive models to investigate the determinants of motorcyclist injuries in traffic crashes in US [ 17 , 21 , 24 , 25 ], Canada [ 22 ], UK [ 14 , 15 , 16 ], France [ 13 ], Australia [ 20 ], Singapore [ 11 ], Korea [ 23 ], and Taiwan [ 12 ].…”

“…Despite the pressing safety challenge brought by motorcycles, a limited number of studies have specifically focused on China’s motorcyclist-related safety issues [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ]. Existing research concerning motorcyclist injuries are mostly derived from the developed regions [ 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 ]. The causal relationship between injury outcomes of motorcycle crashes and potential risk factors in China remains unknown.…”

Issues related to motorcycle safety in China have not received enough research attention. As such, the causal relationship between injury outcomes of motorcycle crashes and potential risk factors remains unknown. This study intended to investigate the injury risk of motorcyclists involved in road traffic crashes in China. To account for the ordinal nature of response outcomes and unobserved heterogeneity, a mixed ordered logit model was employed. Given that the crash occurrence process is different between intersections and non-intersections, separate models were developed for these locations to independently estimate the impacts of various contributing factors on motorcycle riders’ injury severity. The analysis was based on the police-reported crash dataset obtained from the Traffic Administration Bureau of Hunan Provincial Public Security Ministry. Factors associated with a substantially higher probability of fatalities and severe injuries included motorcycle riders older than 60 years, the absence of helmets, motorcycle riders identified to be equal duty, and when a motorcycle collided with a heavy vehicle during the night time without lighting. Crashes occurred along county roads with curve and slope alignment or at regions with higher GDP were associated with an elevated risk of fatality of motorcycle riders, while unsignalized intersections were related to less severe injuries. Findings of this study are beneficial in forming several targeted countermeasures for motorcycle safety in China, including designing roads with appropriate road delineation and street lighting, strict enforcement for speeding and red light violations, promoting helmet usage, and improving the conspicuity of motorcyclists.

“…Such factors may especially be considered as important since consequent inclement conditions including decreasing driver's visibility, distraction, insufficient road infrastructure and possible traffic congestion are carefully examined. Evidence from earlier research (Celik and Oktay, 2014;Kim et al, 2008) revealed that road traffic accidents occurred during the evening peak were more likely to result in less severe injuries, while other studies (Abegaz et al, 2014;Chung et al, 2014;Uçar and Tatlıdil, 2007) showed the impact of driving at night on injury severities. Other past research (Chu, 2015;Khorashadi et al, 2005;Yau, 2004;Yau et al, 2006) also studied the impact of various time periods on injury severity levels.…”

The results of another earlier research revealed that speed control might have a significant impact on decreasing more severe injuries.…”

“…Conversely, incident response time may be the most effective strategy for mitigating the impacts of crashes during congested periods. However, crash records in a crash analysis database do not indicate congestion conditions at the crash scene but only environmental, crash, roadway, and driver characteristics [1][2][3].…”

Effective management of highway networks requires a thorough understanding of the conditions under which vehicular crashes occur. Such an understanding can and should inform related operational and resource allocation decisions. This paper presents an easily implementable methodology that can classify all reported crashes in terms of the operational conditions under which each crash occurred. The classification methodology uses link-based speed data. Unlike previous secondary collision identification schemes, it neither requires an a priori identification of the precipitating incident nor definition of the precipitating incident’s impact area. To accomplish this objective, the methodology makes use of a novel scheme for distinguishing between recurrent and non-recurrent congestion. A 500-crash case study was performed using a 274 km section of the I-40 in North Carolina. Twelve percent of the case study crashes were classified as occurring in non-recurrent congestion. Thirty-seven percent of the crashes in non-recurrent congestion classified were identified within unreported primary incidents or crashes influence area. The remainder was classified as primary crashes occurring in either uncongested conditions (84%) or recurrent congestion (4%). The methodology can be implemented in any advanced traffic management system for which crash time and link location are available along with corresponding archived link speed data are available.
