“…Many services from crowd and light road traffic have been established to convert traffic from self-supporting vehicles to the IoV. A certain study covers the vehicle's rate as one of the major factors contributing to road injuries, drinking, non-use of the belt and distractions (Lomia et al 2020). Around 90% of vehicle incidents are caused by weak road networks and weak traffic control systems in low and medium nations (Heydari et al 2019).…”

“…In our study, we find that deaths by traffic accidents in pedestrians and cyclists are diverse and consider sociodemographic characteristics, similar to other studies. [27][28][29] Among others, it has been described that traffic accidents are more frequent in the lowest socioeconomic strata, as people belonging to these groups in the social hierarchy tend to indulge in more risky behaviors and because, on the other hand, their access to health services is more precarious. 30 Another factor associated with socioeconomic conditions is related affiliation to the health system.…”
