Road safety in China: Analysis of current challenges

Road Traffic Injury in China: A Review of National Data Sources

“…We identified 8 articles published in English that focused on general RTI mortality in China (Dong et al 2010;Hu et al 2011;Hu, Bakar, et al 2008;Jiang et al 2011;Li and Baker 1991;Wang et al 2003Wang et al , 2008Zhang et al 2010). None of them used DSP data.…”

“…The number of motor vehicles has also increased significantly, from 42 million in 1997 to 145 million in 2006. In addition, the length of express highways nearly tripled in just 6 years, from 19,500 km in 2001 to 53,000 km in 2007 (Zhang et al 2010). In early 2009, China became the world's largest automobile market, surpassing the United States for the first time in total car sales (Overholt 2010).…”

Dimensions of driving anger and their relationships with aberrant driving

“…The "emotional violation" (mean = 2.39; SD = 0.78) was the most frequently adopted aberrant behaviours on road, followed by the "maintaining progress violation" (mean = 2.28; SD = 0.68), and then the driving "error" (mean = 1.83; SD = 0.44). The "deliberate violation" was the least frequently reported by drivers (mean = 1.46; SD = 0.58), which may be the results of the stricter law enforcement against drunken driving and red light running in recent years in China (Zhang et al, 2010;Bhalla et al, 2013).…”

Characterizing Risky Driving Behaviors of Electric Two-Wheelers Riders To Create Prevention Guidelines in China and in France

“…First off, E2W are relatively absent from the road landscape in Europe considering PTW still account for less than 2% of all road traffic in term of kilometers driven. Another difference with EU countries is that the vehicles fleet consists of heavily-loaded trucks and many non-licensed motorcycles, and a large number of pedestrians (Zhang, Tsimhoni, Sivak and Flannagan, 2010 China, both E2W and regular bicycles are classified as non-motor vehicles despite having great differences in physical performance. Moreover, both E2W and regular bicycles are operated in the same lanes and are subjected to the same traffic rules.…”
