Pediatric vehicular heatstroke: An analysis of 296 cases from the National Fatality Review Case Reporting System
CONCLUSIONS: The results align with previous PVH findings and added new information on child race/ethnicity, CPS action, disability/chronic illness, and maltreatment. With the exception of parents being more likely to be the supervisor in incidents occurring at home, which was expected, neither supervisor characteristics nor child race/ethnicity or sex were independently significant in multiple regression, suggesting that PVH is pervasive and that education campaigns should be similarly broad.PMID:38108664 | DOI:10.1080/15389588.2023.2290454 (Source: Traffic Injury Prevention)

Proposing an effective approach for traffic safety assessment on heterogeneous traffic conditions using surrogate safety measures and speed of the involved vehicles
CONCLUSIONS: Fast-moving vehicles were responsible for the less safe maneuvers with a higher collision probability in all the study locations. The correlation between critical conflicts and road accidents shows the effectiveness of the proposed approach in the traffic safety assessments for mixed traffic. This approach could be employed even in countries with homogenous traffic conditions instead of using a single threshold value. The correlations also show the potential of the proposed Critical Following Speed as a surrogate safety indicator for safety evaluation in the future.PMID:38085579 | DOI:10.1080/15389588.2023.228...

Comparison of corridor-level fatal and injury crash models with site-level models for network screening purposes on Florida urban and suburban divided arterials
Conclusions: The corridor-level models were more accurate and statistically reliable than similar HSM models while being less data intensive. They also only required corridor-level data rather than data for each intersection and segment. By using readily available data, the methods in this paper can be easily replicated by agencies to develop their own network screening corridor-level models and expedite the identification of corridors in need of safety improvements to reduce FI crashes. Existing site-level network screening methods can be used to supplement the developed corridor-level methodology by identifying high-risk...
