目的:增加骑自行车的作用对于减少身体不活动是必要的。在推广骑自行车的同时,还应该注意交通安全。因此,需要更好地了解骑自行车者撞车的潜在因素和安全建议。这项研究旨在增加对致命的单自行车碰撞(SBC)的了解,其他道路使用者不会与之碰撞。
方法:分析了2010年至2019年芬兰深入调查的致命自行车撞车事故的数据。这项研究对这些特征进行了描述性分析,潜在因素,以及SBC(n=82)和其他骑车人撞车事故(n=151)的安全建议。进行Logistic回归分析和卡方检验以确定SBC的显着特征。
结果:致命的SBC通常涉及60岁或以上的人群,男性,骑车人不戴头盔.骑自行车者的健康问题影响了62.2%的SBC的崩溃。与其他骑车人撞车相比,健康问题,酒精,男性,除交叉路口以外的其他碰撞位置,在SBC中突出显示了周末。安全建议强调人为因素,例如告知骑车人潜在的因素和安全设备的使用。
结论:除了人为因素,安全建议包括关于自行车的建议,交通环境,和交通规则。这凸显了需要专注于不同的安全改进行动以减少SBC。这项研究确定了SBCs的关键特性,这可能有助于交通安全当局解决这个道路安全问题,并最终有助于促进骑自行车者的安全。
结论:还建议包括医疗保健提供者和警察在内的行为者之间进行合作,以解决导致SBC的骑自行车者的健康问题。
Increasing the role of cycling is necessary to reduce physical inactivity. While promoting cycling, attention should also be given to traffic safety. Hence, a better understanding on the underlying factors and safety recommendations of
cyclist crashes is needed. This study aims to increase knowledge on fatal single-bicycle crashes (SBCs), where other road users are not collided with.
Data from in-depth investigated fatal
cyclist crashes in Finland is analyzed from 2010 to 2019. The study presents descriptive analysis of the characteristics, underlying factors, and safety recommendations of SBCs (n = 82) and other cyclist crashes (n = 151). Logistic regression analysis and chi-squared tests were performed to identify significant characteristics for SBCs.
Fatal SBCs commonly involved people aged 60 or older, males, and
cyclist not wearing a helmet.
Cyclist\'s health issues influenced the crash in 62.2% of the SBCs. Compared to other cyclist crashes, health issues, alcohol, males, other crash locations than intersections, and weekends were highlighted in SBCs. Safety recommendations emphasized human factors, such as informing
cyclist about underlying factors and the use of safety equipment.
In addition to human factors, the safety recommendations included suggestions regarding the bicycle, the traffic environment, and traffic regulations. This highlights the need to focus on different safety improvement actions to reduce SBCs. This study identified key characteristics of SBCs, which may help traffic safety authorities address this road safety issue and ultimately help to promote cyclist safety.
Cooperation between the actors including health care providers and the police is also proposed to address cyclists\' health issues that contribute to SBCs.
