Estimated car cost as a predictor of driver yielding behaviors for pedestrians
DiscussionDriver yielding differed by cost of cars. Given previous findings, future research is needed to further examine gender and racial disparities in pedestrian crashes. Findings are significant for public health and pedestrian safety, especially given the upward trend in crash rates. (Source: Journal of Transport and Health)

Effect of urban trips on stress and cognitive performance, a study in Bogotá, Colombia
ConclusionesLos viajes urbanos en bicicleta o en transporte público inducen un efecto comparable tanto en estrés biológico como en desempeño cognitivo. Se conoce que la bicicleta otorga beneficios personales y para la sociedad. Nuestros resultados, adicionalmente muestran que a pesar del esfuerzo físico, la bicicleta no induce un mayor estrés biológico que el transporte público.AbstractIntroductionUrban commuting can be a stressful experience and may impact cognitive function, a key component of overall health. The purpose of this study was to explore whether the cognitive performance of adults is differentially af...

Child injury mortality in Iran: A systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionOur findings suggest a relatively high mortality rate for road traffic accidents, which should be taken into account seriously. Developing preventive policies is essential to achieve better standards of road transportation and reduce related mortality in Iran. (Source: Journal of Transport and Health)

Walk'n’roll: Mapping street-level accessibility for different mobility conditions in Cuenca, Ecuador
ConclusionThe urban streets of Cuenca are highly inaccessible, mainly due to their flawed design and the presence of obstacles, creating excluding environments for people with mobility restrictions or impairments. National regulations are failing to tackle all the issues that hinder accessibility and must be revised. Cuenca, together with other intermediate cities in Latin America, must redesign their sidewalks and pedestrian facilities to allow universal accessibility.ResumenIntroducciónEn América Latina y El Caribe viven, aproximadamente, 66 millones de personas con discapacidad (PCD). A pesar de los importantes avance...

Service quality analysis of signalized intersections from the perspective of bicycling
ConclusionThe important measures of BLOS improvement at signalized intersections include the efficient management of crossing pedestrians, restrictions on nearby parking activities, and minimization of bicycle delay. The deficiencies in these aspects have perhaps made the intersection approaches in India to offer BLOS C–F. The BLOS models and transportation engineering solutions proposed in this study for the improvement of public health through bicycling are highly efficient for developing countries.

Impacts of an earn-a-bike cycling education program on children's time spent cycling
ConclusionsBike education programs that result in the child earning a bike appear promising for increasing the currently low rates of cycling and active transportation in youth, though multilevel strategies are likely needed to support larger increases in cycling.

Home and school environmental correlates of childhood BMI
ConclusionsThis study provides important evidence for planners, urban designers, and policy makers on the significance of built environment, in general, and street network configuration, in particular, within home- and school-environments. One rule of thumb would be to design a well-connected street network with relatively denser connections and reduced direction changes within the neighbourhood – not only within a couple of blocks of homes and schools but also within their larger fabric (800–1600 mt buffers).

Emergency response times and crash risk: An analysis framework for Costa Rica
ConclusionsThe continuous method has the advantage of making use of the continuous nature of the hazard, vulnerability, and risk variables proposed. On the other hand, the categorical ordered method has the advantage of being more intuitive by reducing the hazard, vulnerability and risk to a small number of classes that are easy to interpret.AbstractAntecedentesAlrededor del 48% de las muertes por accidentes de tránsito en Costa Rica ocurrieron en la vía pública, lo que podría atribuirse a una muerte inmediata o a una respuesta tardía por parte de los sistemas de emergencia. Se espera que la mejorar los tiempos de res...
