| Nature Verified
Abstract This study investigates the behavioral, environmental, and roadway-related determinants of injury severity in crashes involving child pedestrians (aged under 15), utilizing six years (2017–2022) of crash data from Texas. A random-parameter logit model is employed to account for unobserved heterogeneity in driver behavior, roadway context, temporal conditions, and environmental factors.

By Swastika Barua, Michael Starewich, Tausif Islam Chowdhury, Amir Rafe, Subasish Das
| Nature Verified
Abstract Pedestrian crashes at crosswalks represent a critical safety concern due to their disproportionate contribution to severe injuries and fatalities relative to their overall frequency. This study analyzes pedestrian-involved crosswalk crashes reported in the Texas Crash Records Information System (CRIS) from 2017 to 2022 to examine context-specific determinants of injury severity. A two-stage analytical framework was employed.

Temporal dynamics in barrier-involved crashes: Determining shifts in driving behavior and injury risk across multi-year periods

|
By Swastika Barua, Michael Starewich, Reuben Tamakloe, Nawaf Alnawmasi, Subasish Das, Monire Jafari
| Nature Verified
Abstract Barrier-involved crashes are shaped by evolving behavioral patterns, roadway conditions, and systemic changes in transportation environments. This study investigates temporal shifts in the factors influencing injury severity in barrier-related traffic crashes over three multi-year periods: 2017–2018, 2019–2020, and 2021–2022.
