Preliminary Analyses of Fatal Bicyclist Crash Characteristics in the Western US DESCRIPTION:\n\nAllyson Deijkers1\nFaculty Mentor: Shashi Nambisan, Ph.D.1\n1Howard R. Hughes College of Engineering, Department of Civil and Environmental\nABSTRACT\nThis presentation summarizes preliminary analyses of some factors related to fatal bicyclist crashes. It focuses on urbanized counties in California, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington for the years 2008-2018. Key variables analyzed include state and county, crash location (at intersection, on roadway, on shoulder, etc.) and lighting conditions (day/night). The National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS)’s data were used for the analyses. Results show commonalities and differences across the counties. In Nevada, Clark and Washoe counties had most of their crashes during daylight conditions, on the roadway. In California, results vary across the state. Yolo County had most of their crashes on the roadway, and not intersection related. San Diego County had half of their crashes under daylight conditions, on the roadway. San Francisco County had most of their crashes under daylight conditions, on the roadway, and at an intersection. Sacramento County had half of their crashes under daylight conditions, on the roadway, and not at an intersection. Los Angeles County had half of their crashes under daylight conditions, on the roadway. Multnomah County, Oregon had most of their crashes under daylight conditions, on the roadway. King County, Washington had most of their crashes under daylight conditions, on the roadway, with a slight majority at an intersection. The results indicate that other factors such as roadway and bicyclist characteristics also need to be integrated in the analyses. These will be explored next to help develop and deploy appropriate countermeasures to enhance bicyclist safety.\n URL:https://oursymposium.sites.unlv.edu/program/preliminary-analyses-of-fatal-bicyclist-crash-characteristics-in-the-western-us/ ORGANIZER;CN=The Office of Undergraduate Research:MAILTO:our@unlv.edu CATEGORIES:Health & Natural Sciences & Engineering END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
