2. The Prediction of Traffic Accident Involvement from Driving Behavior
Abstract : The aim of the studies was to predict individual traffic accident involvement by the quantification of driving style in terms of speed changes, using bus drivers as subjects. An accident database was constructed from the archives of the bus company whose drivers were used as subjects. READ MORE

5. Goodness-of-fit tests for some discrete multiplicative models with applications to road traffic accident analysis
Abstract : The work presented in the thesis was initiated by some problems in the analysis of experiments concerning the effect of speed limits on the number of road traffic accidents. In order to do such an analysis realistic statistical models are required. READ MORE
