It is estimated that riders of powered two-wheeled vehicles (PTW) account for about 14% of all traffic fatalities in the former EU15 (the same figure is about 10% for Turkey). Despite the vast difference between Southern and Northern/Western Europe in helmet usage, the reasons for different helmet usage rates have mainly remained unexamined. This made riders of PTW a high priority for accident-reduction efforts for the European Commission, which has called for investigations that could lead to new measures. COST Action established for the general question of studying and testing motorcycle helmets. The main objective of this COST Action (COST 357) is to increase knowledge on how motorcycle rider behaviours and helmets could be improved to help facilitate the avoidance of accidents. In Turkey, it can be expected that the number of motorcycles increase because of improvements in service industry, boom in economy and young population and, therefore, a high priority for accident and fatalityreduction efforts in riders of PTW would be highly important. Research has shown that head injuries contribute to 70% and 80% of fatal injuries to PTW riders, which makes wearing a helmet an important contribution to the reduction of accident severity. However, issues regarding to motorcycle helmets have not been studied in Turkey. In the present project, PTW rider behaviours, social psychological models, and helmets were investigated in Turkey and across European countries (i.e., Turkey, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal).

Trafik İşaretleri ve Trafik Levhalari İle Etkili İletişim Erden, Nazif Kutay (2020-11-13) Dünyada ve ülkemizde insan popülasyonunun artması ile doğru orantılı olarak kullanılan motorlu araç sayısı da artmakta ve bu artıda yeni yolların, yeni güzergahların ve sürücüleri yönlendirmek ve bilgilendirmek amacı ile hazırlanıp yol güzergahlarına konulan yeni trafik ve bilgilendirme levhalarına kullanım alanlarını genişletmektedir. Ancak yol güzergahlarına yerleştirilen yeni trafik ve bilgilendirme levhalarının fizibilite çalışmasının dikkatli bir biçimde yapılması ve tabelalar ile sürücüler ve yolc...
The Determinants of posttraumatic growth and posttraumatic stress among motor vehicle accident survivors: personality, coping mechanisms, and ruminations Çağlayan, Pınar; Karancı, Ayşe Nuray; Department of Psychology (2016) The experience of traffic accidents is a quite frequent adversity, especially in Turkey. Although traumatic events result in negative psychological consequences, their positive outcomes have also been examined in psychology literature. The current study aimed to examine negative and positive consequences, namely posttraumatic stress (PTS) and growth (PTG) of traffic accident survivors in Turkey. Factors related to PTS and PTG were examined based on the Multivariate Risk Factor Model and Model of Life Crises...
Job stress, burnout, and aberrant driving among professional drivers of old age Fındık, Gizem; Lajunen, Timo; Department of Psychology (2016) Commercial vehicles are involved in roughly 18% of all traffic accidents and 27% of all fatal traffic accidents in Turkey. These numbers highlight the need to investigate why professional drivers are involved in traffic accidents. Although the issue has often been on the agenda of the media, a similar impact occurred neither in scientific nor policy or applied domains yet. Therefore, the main purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between job stress, burnout, and driving related outcomes (...
Modeling truck traffic in Turkey Fayyaz, Muhammad; Tüydeş Yaman, Hediye; Department of Civil Engineering (2015) The objective of this study is to contribute to intercity road freight modeling in Turkey in general, and particularly estimation of origin-destination (O-D) matrix for intercity truck traffic, using the available freight transport data. As commodity flow data is not available for Turkey, information collected through roadside axle surveys is the main data source of this study. Firstly, the survey matrix has been estimated using roadside axle survey data from 2007-2011 period, and enlarged using link counts...
Araç Takip Sistemi Verilerini Kullanarak Elektrikli ve Hibrit Taşıtlar için Enerji Yönetim Sistemi Algoritmalarının Optimizasyonu ve Ticari/Kamusal Kullanıma Yönelik Motorlu Taşıtlar için Optimal Hibritleştirme Alternatiflerinin Değerlendirilmesi Başlamışlı, Çağlar Selahattin; Testik, Caner Murat; Köprübaşı, Kerem(2019) Bir yandan toplu tasımada kullanılan sehir içi otobüsler ve servisler, öte yandan her gün yüzkilometrenin üzerinde yol kateden çöp kamyonları ve kurye araçları çok miktarda yakıttüketmektedir. Bu proje kapsamında, Ankara içinde yolcu tasımacılıgında görev yapanbelediye otobüsleri üzerinden yogun veri toplama ve simülasyon faaliyetlerini içerenanalizlerin sonuçlarına dayanarak, belediyelerin ve Ulastırma Bakanlıgı?nın gelecekte içtenyanmalı motora sahip tasıtlar yerine elektrikli ve/veya hibrit tasıtların ku...
