    Abstract : Traffic accidents are the second leading cause of child fatality among children younger than 15 years of age. In the course of 10 years, the implementation of child restraint systems has decreased child fatality in traffic accidents with 50%, for children younger than 15 years. READ MORE

  4. 3. Application of Poisson Regression on Traffic Safety

    University essay from KTH/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Philip Nilsson; Sebastian Nilsson; [2015]
    Keywords : Applied traffic modeling; Poisson regression; Traffic fatality; Traffic safety; Tillämpad trafikmodellering; Poissonregression; Trafikdödlighet; Trafiksäkerhet;

    Abstract : This study presents a model that explains the traffic fatality by exploring the Poisson regression model using two types of explanatory variables – referred to as internal and external factors. Internal factors contain variables closely linked to traffic safety, such as speed limits and belt usage (Strandroth et al. READ MORE
