The Analysis of Influence of Individual and Environmental Factors on Two-Wheeled Users' Injuries.

CONCLUSIONS: It has been shown that there is a high degree of influence of individual factors on the occurrence of accidents involving two-wheelers (PTWs/bicycles), but with no statistically significant relation. Establishing the existence of such conditionalities enable identifying and defining of factors that have an impact on the occurrence of traffic accidents involving bicyclists or PTWs. Such a link between individual factors and the occurrence of accidents makes possible for system managers to take appropriate actions aimed at certain categories of two-wheelers in order to reduce their casualties in a particular area. The analysis that has been conducted found out that most of the road factors do not have a statistically significant effect on both categories of two-wheelers. Namely, the logistic regression analysis has shown that there is a statistically significant effect of the place of accident on the occurrence of accidents involving bicyclists.
