Comparative Study
Effect of driver's age and side of impact on crash severity along urban freeways: a mixed logit approach.
This study identifies geometric, traffic, environmental, vehicle-related, and driver-related predictors of crash injury severity on urban freeways. ⋯ The study provided a promising approach to screening the predictors before fitting the mixed logit model using the random forest technique. Furthermore, potential countermeasures were proposed to reduce the severity of impacts.
