Validated numerical unrestrained occupant-seat crash scenarios for high-speed trains integrating experimental, computational, and inverse methods
CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates the value of experimental data for occupant-seat model interactions in train collisions and provides practical help for train interior safety design and formulation of standards for rolling stock interior passive safety.PMID:38578292 | DOI:10.1080/15389588.2024.2335558 (Source: Traffic Injury Prevention)

Driving after substance use in Rhode Island adolescents: A cross-sectional analysis of surveillance data
CONCLUSIONS: Driving under the influence is a concern among adolescent substance users. Current substance use and perceived parental risk perception as negative are common risks and protective factors, respectively. Findings suggest substance-specific, heterogeneous interventions are needed. For example, interventions focusing on peer perceptions are most relevant for DAP, while shifting personal perceptions of harm are most relevant for DAC.PMID:38578273 | DOI:10.1080/15389588.2024.2335317 (Source: Traffic Injury Prevention)

Understanding nonuse of mandatory e-scooter helmets
CONCLUSIONS: Most nonuse of helmets in a mandatory context seems to be situational, rather than consistent. Many of the factors associated with nonuse of helmets for e-scooters are similar to those reported for bicycles. Nonuse of helmets appears to be one of a number of risky behaviors performed by riders, rather than being primarily an outcome that is specific to factors associated with helmets (e.g., concerns about hygiene, discomfort or availability).PMID:38578267 | DOI:10.1080/15389588.2024.2335677 (Source: Traffic Injury Prevention)

Energy field-based lane changing behavior interaction model and risk evaluation in the weaving section of expressway
CONCLUSIONS: The driving interaction model proposed in this study quantified the overall environmental pressure on the vehicle. It overcomes the previous limitation of kinetic interaction parameters. The research provides a new idea for the ITS and autonomous driving systems, contributing to the enhancement of traffic safety and efficiency.PMID:38578258 | DOI:10.1080/15389588.2024.2334402 (Source: Traffic Injury Prevention)

Vehicle front-end geometry and in-depth pedestrian injury outcomes
CONCLUSIONS: The combination of vehicle height and a steep bumper lead angle may explain the elevated pedestrian crash severity typically observed among large vehicles.PMID:38578254 | DOI:10.1080/15389588.2024.2332513 (Source: Traffic Injury Prevention)
