Road traffic accidents are important health problems globally and each year approximately 1.3 million people lose their lives and 50 million people get severely injured on the world’s roads as a result of these accidents (WHO,2015). In order to control road traffic accidents, a growing body of the literature investigates risks factors that could be broadly categorized as human, vehicle and environmental related factors (Shinar, 2007). However, while there are many studies that separately investigate these broad factors in relation to accident causation, there is little known about how these broad categories could interact with each other. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate how vehicle-related factors affect human-related factors. It is known that the capacity of a vehicle influences drivers’ choices to make violations and/or errors in traffic, to behave aggressively during the drive. Therefore, more specifically, this study aims to investigate how the vehicle segment is related to driver behaviors and driver skills.

Investigating the effects of lightweight recycled bumper and chassis system on vehicle crashworthiness Gürer, Batuhan; Esat, Volkan; Sustainable Environment and Energy Systems (2016-8) Accidents are one of the main reasons of death for people across the globe, among which automobile accidents are a major portion resulting in fatalities and various injuries. Crashworthiness is an engineering concept that is used to analyse the ability of vehicle structure to cover and protect passengers in the case of an accident or impact. Crashworthiness aims to affect the design of the structure of the vehicle so that it absorbs as much energy as it can which is sustained from an impact by plastic...
An approach to investigate relationship between speed and safety on urban arterials Ardiç Eminağa, Zerrin; Akyılmaz, M. Özdemir; Department of Civil Engineering (2008) Traffic safety is an important problem in today’s world with increasing number of fatalities and injuries in traffic accidents. For the solution of this problem, determination of accident prone locations on a network and reasons behind is an essential step, which is studied to some extend via different traffic accident analyses in the literature. While major factors affecting accident risk, such as speed, congestion, infrastructural aspects are known, it is still very difficult to figure out the interaction...
Examining the approaches of OHS professionals to the reasons for falls from height Akarsu, Deniz; Özkan, Türker; Department of Occupational Health and Safety (2019) Except motor vehicles accidents, the death rate on occupational accidents which occur falling from high places or into depths, is higher than any other accidents. According to the importance of the topic, in the study, examining the approaches of OHS professionals to the reasons and effects of occupational accidents which occur as falling from heights is aimed. For this, 100 accident inspection reports from Labor Inspection Board were surveyed. Accident reasons were derived from those reports. Those reasons...
Development of an expert system for the quantification of fault rates in traffic accidents Cangul, Eren; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat; Department of Civil Engineering (2010) Traffic accidents which damage the safety of human beings are one of the most important problems due to their material losses and effects to human health. Although continuous improvements are made by the governments; losses of traffic accidents are still a significant issue all over the world. The usual studies realized so far are generally related with the accident prevention models. However, there has not been much research done concerning the situation after the traffic accidents happen. After occurrence...
Burden of Road Traffic Injuries in Turkey Puvanachandra, P.; HOE, CONNIE; Özkan, Türker; Lajunen, Tevio (2012-01-01) Objective: Road traffic injuries (RTIs) are one of the leading causes of global deaths, contributing to 1.3 million lives lost each year Although all regions are affected, low- and middle-income countries share a disproportionate burden. The significance of this public health threat is growing in Turkey, where current estimates show that 2.0 percent of all deaths in the country are due to RTIs. Despite the significance of this growing epidemic, data pertaining to RTIs in Turkey are limited. In order to addr...
