“…Moreover, about 45% of fatal traffic injuries in lowand middle-income communities are related to pedestrians, compared to only 18% of traffic fatalities in developed countries. According to the World Health Organization, up to 33% of traffic fatalities in Iran involve pedestrians [8] and among the pedestrians, young adults are an important population that has risky road crossing behaviors [9]. The higher rate of fatalities due to road traffic accidents happen among in the age of 18-25 years in Iran.…”

Background: Pedestrian-vehicle collision is one of the most common traffic injuries worldwide. This study aimed to investigate the determinants of pedestrians' road crossing beliefs and behaviors in potentially risky situations using the Theory of Planned Behavior among Iranian young adults. Methods: This was a population-based study on a sample of 562 young adults aged 18 to 25 years living in Tehran, Iran. Data were collected by using a self-administered validated questionnaire including constructs of the theory of planned behavior and items of perceived risk and severity. The data were analyzed using independent t-test, analysis of covariance and multivariate analysis of variance. Results: From all the respondents, 17.8% reported that they had previous experience of vehicle-collision. Among the participants, those who had previous experience of vehicle-collision reported less safety behaviors in crossing the road than those who had not experience an accident. It was found significant differences between participants with and without a history of vehicle-collision for perceived risk (mean difference, adjusted multivariate P-value: − 5.77, 0.027) and perceived severity (− 6.08, 0.003), attitude toward traffic regulations (− 6.34, 0.006), attitude toward behavior (− 7.56, 0.005), perceived behavioral control (− 5.20, 0.018), behavioral intention (− 5.35, 0.046) and road crossing behavior in potentially risky situations (− 5.37, 0.004). Conclusions: Previous unpleasant experience of vehicle-collision is not the only determinant of self-protective behaviors in road-crossing which indicate the role of cognitive and motivational factors such as, subjective norms, attitudes towards risk, feelings of invulnerability in case of facing with vehicle collision.

Miles de vidas se pierden cada año como consecuencia de los siniestros viales, en tanto que las lesiones se presentan con traumatismos leves y severos, los que en varios casos provocan algún tipo de discapacidad. Las causas de los siniestros viales son constantemente analizadas por las instituciones públicas y privadas con la finalidad de emprender acciones preventivas que contribuyan a la reducción de las tasas e índices de mortalidad, accidentabilidad y letalidad. El objetivo de este trabajo es caracterizar los siniestros viales en el Ecuador haciendo uso de técnicas de análisis de datos, tablas dinámicas y gráficos dinámicos con la finalidad de identificar, resumir y comparar causas y factores, que contribuyan a la toma de decisiones sobre datos críticos. En este estudio se utilizaron los datos históricos proporcionados por la Dirección Nacional de Tránsito, recolectados entre los años 2015 a 2018, institución con competencia en 22 de las 24 provincias del territorio. Como resultado se presentan 10 causas que habrían ocasionado el 96.3% de los siniestros, siendo la conducción con falta de atención la causa predominante, con una incidencia del 56.8% de siniestros. Fueron identificadas las condiciones ambientales, tipos y condiciones de la vía, y horario, a nivel nacional y por zonas, el estudio concluye con el cálculo de tasas e índices de mortalidad, letalidad, accidentabilidad y motorización. Los resultados alcanzados representan un aporte a los procesos de planificación y legislación de políticas preventivas que implementen instituciones públicas.
