It is very important to find effective countermeasures that reduce the number of these tragic traffic accidents. However, general characteristics and factors of traffic accidents on undivided expressway have not been clarified sufficiently yet. We apply a discriminant analysis to traffic accidents data for five years in order to find some crucial factors for traffic accidents especially in snow cold region. Two categories, fatal or serious and slight injury, are used as a dependent variable.

  • Current Status of Motorcycle Accidents and Emergency Transport
    ITARDA 21th WorkShop Report Current status of motorcycle accidents and emergency transport Shinji Hamada, Senior Researcher, Research Division 1. Purpose of the study The conditions surrounding motorcycles and motorcycle accidents have been undergoing a drastic transformation in these past few decades. This is thought to have been backed by a number of factors, including: (1) the decline in the population of young people, (2) the diversification in people’s interests, and (3) the adoption of motorcycling as an interest by middle-aged and elderly people. In light of the above, there are calls for the enactment of different traffic measures than those enacted in the past. Conceivable examples of this would include revising countermeasures against motorcycle gangs comprised mainly of minors (lifting entry restrictions to downtown urban areas) and awareness- raising activities for middle-aged and elderly return riders who are taking up motorcycling again after an absence (with measures including rechecking of any decline in their capabilities, etc.). Among these one can glimpse measures that are being handled, even if only in a partial manner. This paper will reaffirm the changes in motorcycle accidents and their recent conditions and characteristics, thereby clarifying the orientation for traffic measures and getting the word on this out to the public that will serve to provide backup in promoting effective traffic measures. One recent initiative begun by the Institute for Traffic Accident Research and Data Analysis (hereafter abbreviated as ITARDA) is an attempt to develop traffic analyses based on a new approach of combining the various traffic accident data possessed by ITARDA with other data (national geographical information, emergency transport information, etc.).
