“…The authors concluded that 22% of RTCs were associated with fatalities, 67% were associated with only injuries, 6% included fatal and injury and 4% included property damage only. Joni et al (2020) [18] collected datasets of RTCs in Iraq for the period (2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013)(2014)(2015)(2016)(2017). They arranged the data of RTCs numbers, mortalities, and morbidities in spreadsheets based on monthly records.…”

The deaths due to road traffic crashes (RTCs) represent the 8th cause of death in Iraq in 2017 and the 7th cause in 2019. The present work aims to investigate the Iraqi RTCs reports during the years (2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013)(2014)(2015)(2016)(2017)(2018)(2019) to evaluate the road safety status and its relationship with the government commitment to reducing fatalities by the year 2020. The research also presents a quantitative analysis to study the ratios and rates concerning the severity indicators of the crashes and comparing them with some other countries. The results showed that in 2019, each of the crashes, mortalities, and morbidities increased by 21%, 5%, and 30% respectively compared with 2010 and so the governmental commitment appears far-fetched. On the other hand, most of the severity indicators revealed mitigation in the burden of population and motorization during the studied period. The authors concluded that the security situation had a strong impact on road safety and the year 2012 (which came between two waves of terrorist actions) witnessed peak values of crashes, mortalities, and morbidities. Compared with the population and vehicles, the Gross Domestic Product per Capita showed the highest Pearson Correlation Coefficients with each of the crashes, mortalities, and morbidities. Enhancing the road safety system in Iraq is urgently recommended to reduce the numbers of RTCs' casualties in line with the global trend where many countries had reduced the fatalities and now, they are working toward ((Vision Zero)) projects.

Open graded asphalt mixture is becoming more widespread where it is applied for various purposes, e.g. drainage of rainwater effectivity, traffic safety (high skid resistance), and controlling pollution noise. However, it has many other disadvantages, of which low stability, high stripping, and moisture sensitivity. The research aims to study the effect of styrene butadiene styrene SBS addition on the volumetric and mechanical properties of open graded mixture. In this research one type of aggregate with gradation (12.5 mm NMAS), asphalt of penetration grade (40/50), and cement as filler were used. Optimum asphalt content was selected based on the criteria of air voids content, asphalt drain down, permeability, and abrasion resistance (for aged and un-aged) samples. Other properties of open-graded mixtures, such as indirect tensile strength (ITS), moisture susceptibility, Marshall stability and flow were evaluated. The results show that addition of polymer (SBS) leads to an enhancement in the properties of the modified mixtures. There is an improvement in Marshall parameters. Also, a slight decreasing is noticed for permeability and air voids. For Cantabro abrasion loss (aging and un-aging condition), the abrasion resistance is increased, the drain down of asphalt is decreased from original mixture by addition of SBS. Finally, the moisture sensitivity is improved indicating that modified mixes becomes more resistant to water damage.

The fatality of road traffic is a person who dies within 30 days of a public road fatal collision involving a car with an engine (NHTSA), Fatality Analysis Reporting System, (2010) [11]. A study of traffic accidents in Iraq from 2005 to 2017 showed the classification of traffic injuries according to the number of deaths and injuries during the accident.…”

Loss of control of the vehicle by the driver for any reason is one of the main causes of accidents on the highways in the capital, Baghdad. • Traffic accidents are more severe (fatal) when heavy vehicles are involved in the accident. • Driving at high and violated speed more than 120 km/hr on local highways results in fatal accidents. In this paper, the SPSS program (version 25) and Binary Logistic Regression Model were used to implement and identify the risk factors that affect traffic accidents on Baghdad highways. Due to the increase in the number of traffic accidents that led to injuries and deaths in Iraq during the past years and the lack of specialized studies in traffic accidents, especially on highways, this required the preparation of a study to know the causes of accidents and to explore the factors that have a relative impact on (the severity of the accident). Four highways in the capital, Baghdad, were chosen in this study, major and vital in terms of the number of drivers who use them daily, which are (Mohamed Al-Qasim Expressway, Army Canal Expressway, Salah Al-Din Street (Expressway), and Baghdad International Airport Street (Expressway)). Three hundred and forty-nine traffic accident forms were collected from the traffic directorates on both sides of Al-Karkh and Al-Rusafa for the years from 2006 to 2019. After the analysis by Binary Logistic Regression, the results showed that (contributing factors, road condition, cause of an accident like (parking on highway, loss of control, lack of attention, sudden stopping and lack of attention), vehicle body type, speed). Resulting from the BLR model.
