“…First, consistent with previous research on road users (e.g. Al-Balbissi, 2003;Cordellieri et al, 2016;Factor et al, 2008;Massie et al, 1995;Pulido et al, 2016;Rhodes & Pivik, 2011;Santamariña-Rubio et al, 2014;Tom & Granie, 2011;Williams & Shabanova, 2003), we found that men cyclists are 2.33 times more likely to suffer a fatal injury than women (Hypothesis 1). Concerning Hypothesis 1, however, the results do not suggest any interaction between age and gender in determining the severity of cycling crashes (Elvik et al, 2009).…”

“…The present study aimed to investigate gender differences in cycling crashes by analysing routinely recorded crash data gathered from the ISTAT.Past studies examined gender differences in crash rate and driving behaviour of road users (e.g. Al-Balbissi, 2003;Cordellieri et al, 2016;Factor et al, 2008;Massie et al, 1995;Pulido et al, 2016;Rhodes & Pivik, 2011;Santamariña-Rubio et al, 2014;Tom & Granie, 2011;Williams & Shabanova, 2003). Nonetheless, studies that would focus solely on the population of cyclists are lacking and the present paper tries to fill in this gap.…”

“…Even though the relative rates of involvement in injury is higher for women than for men (Elvik et al, 2009), there is evidence that men road users are at a higher risk of experiencing a fatal crash (Factor et al, 2008;Massie et al, 1995;Pulido et al, 2016;Santamariña-Rubio et al, 2014;Sospedra-Baeza, 2018). Literature also suggests that gender differences in crash involvement are moderated by drivers' age.…”

“…To this end, safety considerations contribute to raising barriers to cycling and its promotion (Jacobsen & Rutter, 2012) and researchers have begun to focus their attention on cyclists' accidents and their contributory factors (Prati et al, 2018). Research suggests that men and women differ in terms of risky behaviour and involvement in accidents, including road crashes (Al-Balbissi, 2003;Cordellieri et al, 2016;Factor, Mahalel, & Yair, 2008;Massie, Campbell, & Williams, 1995;Pulido et al, 2016;Rhodes & Pivik, 2011;Santamariña-Rubio, P erez, Olabarria, & Novoa, 2014;Tom & Granie, 2011;Williams & Shabanova, 2003). However, much research has focussed uniquely on car drivers (e.g.…”

Previous research on gender differences in road crashes has focussed uniquely on car drivers and there has been little research examining such differences among cyclists. In this study, we investigated gender differences in bicycle crashes, using routinely recorded crash data. The present paper focussed on characteristics related to the type of crashes (type of collision and opponent vehicle), the infrastructure (road type and type of road segment), the environmental (season, road surface condition and weather) and time period (time of the day and day of the week). Results revealed that, compared to women cyclists, men cyclists were more likely to be involved in a crash regardless the cyclists' age. Moreover, we found gender differences in terms of type of road segment, type of opponent vehicle, type of manoeuvre of the opponent vehicle and of the cyclists, type of collision, time of the day, day of the week and season.

Aim This study was performed within an international organization (IO), headquartered in Washington, D.C. The employees are facing great risks during their missions abroad, where developing countries are the most common travel destination. The IO conducted a staff road safety survey in 2008 and based a road safety policy on the results of this survey. In 2017, a follow-up survey investigated the impact of the policy implementation. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of that policy. Subjects and methods This study is based on two cross-sectional road safety surveys conducted by the IO's Staff Road Safety Task Force. The study population consisted of both regular employees and consultants based at country offices (CO) worldwide. The number of reported road traffic crashes and near-crashes (nearly had a crash), as well as road safety behavior, was compared between these two surveys. The analysis was performed from a gender perspective. High-risk countries were identified based on the number of reported road traffic crashes and near-crashes. Results Over a period of nine years, the incidence rates had dropped from 1.6 to 0.7 road traffic crashes per 1000 travel days and from 14 to 8.9 near-crashes per 1000 travel days. Seat belt usage had increased from 70% to 80%. There were no major differences between male and female respondents. Developing countries had the highest travel adjusted event rates. Conclusion The findings of this study suggest that the policy had a positive impact on road safety among CO staff within the IO.
