Abstract

The number of motorized vehicles, especially motor cycles, is also offset by increased traffic accidents. As is known, road accidents essentially depend on four interrelated factors: human behavior, vehicle efficien cy, environmental conditions, and the characteristics of the infrastructure. However, most accidents are attribu table to the first three factors, almost always to impro per user behavior. This study aims to determine motor cyclists' socioeconomic characteristics and conduct on the intensity of accidents. The research location is on the PandaanPurwosari National Road, Pasuruan Regency, Section 094098 (SurabayaMalang). Three hundred forty respondents are motorcyclists who have experi enced accidents in this segment. The research method is interviews and questionnaires-data analysis using Structure Equation Modeling (SEM), with software SmartPLS (Partial Least Square). The result of accident modeling Y = 0.299X 1 +0.154X 2 + +0.077X 3 +0.554X 4. The first biggest influence on the chance of an accident is the characteristics of driving behavior (X4) exceeding speed (X4.10). The more often the rider exceeds the rate, the higher the chance of an ac cident. The second most significant influence of socioeco nomic characteristics (X1) is the age indicator (X1.2), the more mobility in the productive age, the higher the risk of accidents

1. Introduction
Traffic accidents are caused by the malfunction of a sys-
tem, namely, vehicles, road infrastructure, road users, and
their interactions [1], and the leading cause of death world-
wide and are expected to be the fifth by 2020 [2]. This is
a problem because 91 % of fatalities occur on the road [3]. Ac-
cording to the Indonesian National Police, the highest number
of accidents in Indonesia occurred in 2019, with 116,441 ca-
sualties. Previous studies have found that the human factor is
the leading cause of accidents [4, 5]. Research has shown that
driving behavior has a positive and significant relationship
with accident involvement. Analysis by [5] revealed that driv-
ing behavior increases the risk of 50 % of having an accident.
The most important part of accident involvement [6, 7].
However, previous studies that have been conducted
have used less-renewable analytical methods and have not
been able to describe the causes of accidents and their rela-
tionship to human factors in detail.
Therefore, research devoted to predicting the develop-
ment of motorcycle accidents has scientific relevance and
needs to be done to minimize the incidence of accidents.
2. Literature review and problem statement
Research conducted by [8, 9] showed that the age factor
also determined the element causing the accident, but this
study did not explain how the relationship between the age
factor and the impact on the occurrence of accidents. How-
ever, the study used a random sample, where respondents
were drawn from those who had or had never had an accident.
SEM (Structural Equation Modeling) is a multivariate
data analysis technique that combines regression, factor, and
path analysis. To estimate the causal relationship of latent
variables at the same time [10, 11].
Road safety for two-wheeled vehicles or motorcycles has
become a global concern. In 2010 there were more than one
billion motor vehicles worldwide [11].
Motorcycles are an essential mode of transportation in
the Indonesian public transportation system and the most
significant contributor to vehicle production in Indonesia.
Of the total population of vehicles (operating units) from
2010 to 2017, motorcycles were used around 82 % and used
by 120 million Indonesians in 2018 [12].
However, there is an unresolved and challenging problem
in transportation, namely accidents. Accidents are hazardous
for road users because accidents can result in physical and
material losses. Accidents are still a significant problem that
must be prevented for safe transportation. Motorcycles are
in great demand by road users for various reasons, and their
use has continued to increase over the years. One of the rea-
sons for their appeal, in terms of mobility, is their compact
size, allowing them to park in small spaces. Its size also helps
motorcyclists to move in and out of traffic quickly. Motorcy-
cles have low mass and aerodynamic drag compared to cars,

involve low CO2 emissions, and are, therefore, a fuel-efficient
mode of choice. They are attractive for leisure travel, and
many return users or new users with disposable income are
(re)discovering this activity [12]. However, there are draw-
backs to this bicycle vehicle; for example, on the road with low
traffic, motorcyclists tend to drive at high speed. Motorcycles
only have two wheels meaning the rider can lose control more
quickly than a car user; control can be lost due to uneven road
surfaces, objects on the road, or not understanding traffic
signs [13]. Therefore, motorcyclists are road users who are
very vulnerable to accidents and can suffer serious injuries.
Research by [14] was found that the most significant
driving behavior in shaping the chance of an accident was
exceeding speed. Exceeding speed while overtaking a vehicle
can lead to accidents, and the level of injury caused can lead
to death. Many factors can cause this [1]. Also, disobeying
traffic signs and exceeding speed while driving are some of
the main factors leading to motor vehicle accidents. The
socio-economic level can be roughly shown according to
education level, employment status, and environmental in-
come [15]. Lower socio-economic status is associated with
a higher risk of road traffic injury [8, 16] and mortality [17].
Previous research also found that not only demographic fac-
tors but also socio-economic statuses such as individual edu-
cation level, gender, age, and occupation affect the number of
deaths due to road traffic accidents [18, 19].
As a result of the increasing number of traffic accidents,
especially by motorcycles, several steps have been taken to
address these problems, such as improving road conditions
and lighting. However, research by [1] states that improve-
ments in road conditions, the environment, and road lighting
conditions can affect the driver’s perception of speed choices
that can affect road safety. Factors such as people, roads, ve-
hicles, and environmental/weather conditions contribute to
road accidents. Drivers’ beliefs in these factors can influence
road behavior. In an attempt to understand behavior, previ-
ous researchers also discussed the issue of driving regulation
violations and aggressive behavior relative to traffic acci-
dents [20]. Several researchers evaluated the impact of these
factors on driver performance and have linked road accidents
with damaged infrastructure and inexperience [21].
Accidents can still happen at any time; therefore, the
parties involved need to be responsible and make maxi-
mum efforts to overcome these problems. In this regard,
research conducted by [22] has investigated the factors that
cause accidents, namely driver behavior and socio-economic
factors. However, this study uses an analysis method that is
not renewable and cannot describe the causes of accidents
and their relationship to human factors in detail. The dis-
cussion of the causes of accidents involves only one or two
elements. Meanwhile, the current research conducted by the
author relates the four factors that cause accidents based on
a combination of factors that do not yet exist. Therefore,
it is necessary to research the causes of accidents caused
by many factors.
This paper aims to determine the factors that cause ac-
cidents, especially in driving behavior and driver socio-eco-
nomic characteristics, to create safe and secure transporta-
tion with SEM (Structural Equation Modeling). Previous
research using the first generation in SEM with software
lisrel [18], the software is a first generation sem software,
which allows more and more complicated assumptions. The
author uses the second generation of SEM, namely Smart
PLS, which is easier to use, does not require much data, and
automatic data normality makes data analysis easier. How-
ever, vehicles have an unresolved and challenging problem,
namely accidents. Accidents are dangerous for road users
because accidents can result in physical and material losses.
Accidents are still a significant problem that must prevent
for safe transportation.
3. The aim and objectives of the study
The study aims to determine the economic characteristics
and driving behavior of the intensity of accidents to deter-
mine if supporting variables are needed.
To achieve this aim, the following objectives are ac-
complished:
– determining the most critical factor among the pa-
rameters that affect the accidents: Socio-economic Cha-
racteristics (X1), Driving Behavior (X2) against Accident
Characteristics (Y);
– produce a prediction model of motorcycle accidents
on the national road Surabaya-Malang.
4. Materials and method
Based on previous research, discussing the causes of
accidents only involves one or two factors. Meanwhile, the
current research conducted by the author relates the four
factors that cause accidents based on a combination of factors
that do not yet exist. Therefore, it is necessary to research the
causes of accidents caused by many factors.
In the previous study, it is still using a simple method,
namely regression. Therefore, this research complements
previous research, namely analyzing driving behavior and so-
cio-economic characteristics of the high number of accidents
on the Surabaya-Malang national road with SEM (Structu-
ral Equation Modeling) SmartPLS software.
The sample in this study also uses purposive sampling,
where respondents are selected only who have experienced
an accident so that the results of the analysis can be detected
accurately regarding the factors causing the accident.
The research was conducted in Pasuruan Regency, Gem-
pol-Purwodadi National Road (094-098). The population
of 340 respondents was taken based on Issac and Michael’s
tables through the total population of motorcycles in 2019
taken from the Pasuruan Regency in Center Statistics. The
questionnaire only addressed motorcycle riders with an acci-
dent or purposive sample. So that the modeling results will be
significant and valid. The research method is interview and
questionnaire techniques—using SEM (Structural Equation
Modeling) SmartPLS software.
SEM is a multivariate statistical analysis method to
analyze several research variables simultaneously [23, 24].
Factors from humans have a strong influence on the severity
of accidents [19]. Therefore, the authors use SEM because it
is relevant to the research objectives. The research variables
to be analyzed can be seen in Table 1 Research Design below.
Table 1 above shows the research design based on each
indicator of socio-economic characteristics (X1): gender, age,
work, education, income, driving license and vehicle regis-
tration. Movement characteristics (X2); the number of trips,
mileage, travel time, travel time, and destination. Movement

5. 1. 1. Feasibility Test/Model Validity
This test aims to describe how well the indi-
cators in this study can be used as instruments for
measuring latent variables. With a significance of
weight <0.05 (5 %). VIF value <10. As in Table 2,
feasibility test.
Table 2 above shows which indicators influence
accidents with valid values for the feasibility test.
X1.2 represents age, X2.1 represents travel intensity,
X3.5 represents driving license check, X4.10 rep-
resents overspeed, and Y5 represents collision type.
The most powerful and dominant indicator in shap-
ing the characteristic socio-economic variable (X1)
is the age variable (X1.2), with the highest factor
weighting 0.507. Thus, the higher the age, the
higher the risk of being a cause of accidents. The
survey results from respondents show that the age
of 31–35 years (20 %) is a productive age to work
and carry out activities. The indicator that plays the
most role in shaping the Movement Characteristics
variable (X2) is the intensity of the trip (X2.1) with
the highest factor weight of 0.508; thus, the more
frequent trips (draining energy when traveling), the
higher the risk of being a factor causing accidents.
71 % of respondents often do mobility with the
intensity of frequent trips (3–4 times) in one week.
The higher the respondent’s mobility will affect ac-
cidents because high travel mobility makes someone
drive more often. The indicator that plays the most
role in shaping the Behavior Before Driving (X3)
variable is checking the vehicle documents X3.5 with
the highest factor weight of 0.394. Thus, the less of-
ten you contain vehicle documents (negligent), the
higher the risk of being a factor causing accidents.
The most critical indicator in shaping the Behavior
While Driving (X4) variable is exceeding the X4.10
speed limit with the highest weight factor of 0.358.
The vehicle’s speed when driving on the road is directly
proportional to the severity of traffic accidents. According
to WHO, an average speed increase of 1 km/hour causes an
increase in the risk of traffic accident severity.

The indicator that plays the most role in shaping the
Accident Characteristics variable (Y) is the type of colli-
sion (Y5) with the highest factor weight of 0.596 thus, the
Accident Characteristics variable (Y) can be seen the most
from the Collision Type indicator (Y5).
The type of collision is also influenced by the attitude of
the driver in driving its vehicle, exceeding speed, changing
lanes, and not focusing when driving can be an indication
of a collision.
5. 1. 2. Dominant Test
The dominant test determines which variables and indi-
cators are the main priority in overcoming accidents so that
can consider it for policymakers to take strategic steps to
minimize the incidence of motorcycle accidents-dominant
test results as shown in Table 3 below.
From the dominant test results in Table 3
above, the first priority that needs to be im-
proved to minimize the incidence of accidents
is the X4 driving behavior variable that ex-
ceeds speed (X4.10). Economic characteristic
variable X1, on the age indicator. (X1.2),
which is the second priority in accident pre-
vention activities. The third priority is the
movement variable X2 on the travel intensity
indicator (X2.1). The fourth priority is the
behavior variable before driving X3, on the
hand of checking the driving license and ve-
hicle license.
5. 1. 3. The Goodness of Fit
This test explains that the path coefficient
formed can represent the observed data. The
total R-square coefficient value ranges from 0.0
to 100.0 %, where the higher the total deter-
mination coefficient value, the higher the path
coefficient can represent the observed data. In
detail, the standard measurement results for
the inner model testing criteria are based on
the total determination coefficient, as shown
in Table 4.
The coefficient of determination (R-squa re)
obtained from the socio-economic Characte-
ristics model (X1) and Behavioral Characte-
ristics (X2) on the Accident Characteris tics (Y)
is 74.9 %, and others influence the remain-

6. Discussion of The Model Prediction
The results of the analysis of the causes of accidents using
SEM (Structural Equation Modeling), it is found that the
factors of driving behavior that drives vehicles exceeding
speed and economic characteristics variables on the produc-
tive age indicator have significant results or influence on
the occurrence of accidents (Table 3, dominant test). These
results align with research conducted by [4, 19], where hu-
man factors or driving behavior are still the leading cause of
accidents. The dominant indicator in shaping the behavior
variable when going (X4) is exceeding speed (X4.10) (Ta-
ble 3, dominant test), with a factor weight of 0.358. Thus,
the more you exceed the driving speed, can increase the risk
of an accident. The vehicle’s speed when driving on the road
is directly proportional to the severity of the traffic accident.
The average increase in the rate of 1 km/h causes an increase
in the risk of the severity of traffic accidents.
The dominant indicator in forming the characteristic so-
cio-economic variable (X1) is the age variable (X1.2) (Table 3,
dominant test), with a factor weight of 0.507. The survey
results show that the age of 31–35 years (20 %) is a pro-
ductive age to work and carry out activities. The higher the
age also affects the accident. Age is one of the factors that
cannot separate from the emergence of accident risk [18].
According to [24], age is one of the factors that can affect
the emergence of accidents. Young age allows for fatal acci-
dents due to lack of experience, risky behavior, and ignoring
traffic rules. And compared to drivers of productive age,
drivers aged >50 years have a higher risk of fatal injury in an
accident [9, 25] because health factors at that age begin to
decline, so the perception of risk decreases.
The dominant indicator in shaping the behavior variable
when driving (X4) is exceeding speed (X4.10) (Table 3, do-
minant test), with a factor weight of 0.358. Thus, exceeding
the speed while driving can increase the risk of an accident.
The vehicle’s speed when driving on the road is directly pro-
portional to the severity of the traffic accident. The average
speed increase of 1 km/hour causes an increase in the risk
of traffic accident severity. The road environment can affect
driver choice by influencing the driver’s perception of their
current speed and the speed they think is appropriate for the
road. These influence and their effects on speed can affect
crash rates [26].
This research uses SEM (Structural Equation Modeling)
method with SmartPLS software. The advantages of using
SEM (Structural Equation Modeling) are:
– its ability to handle complex relationships between
variables, where variables can be hypothetical or unobserv-
able (latent variables);
– estimate all coefficients in the model simultaneously so
that one can assess the significance and strength of a particu-
lar relationship in the context of the complete model;
– its ability to consider multicollinearity and measure-
ment error is eliminated so that the coefficients are more
valid [18]. Research [24] using Lisrel, which analyzes driving
behavior, also produces the same variable in the cause of
accidents.
However, the research still uses the second-generation
SEM (Structural Equation Modeling) method; this Smart-
Pls software is more accessible and does not require many as-
sumptions. The drawback of this study is that many variables
have not been analyzed concerning the causes of accidents.
The author’s hope for future research is to include more vari-
ables that cause accidents so that they are more valid and can
overcome existing problems. The analysis method also needs
to be developed using the third generation (Structural Equa-
tion Modeling). Can also developed research in other areas
that have almost the same characteristics.
7. Conclusions
1. Socio-economic characteristics (X1) affect the intensi-
ty of accidents, where the age indicator (X1.2) has the most
significant influence on the power of accidents (Y). There is
a need for socialization in the community, especially among
drivers of productive age, so as not to force them to drive
after many activities. Where in this study, the effective age is
in the spotlight because of the most accidents
2. The prediction model obtained is Y =0.299X1+0.154X2+
+0.077X3+0.554X4. The highest path coefficient of 0.554 is
found in the driver’s behavior variable (X4) with the highest
weight factor of 0.358. From this model, appropriate handl-
ing steps must be taken, so that the problem of motorcycle
accidents can be resolved properly, such as adding billboards
as a warning to reduce vehicle speed, giving shock markers to
keep drivers focused on driving, and giving warnings to take
breaks if they are traveling long distances.

Public transport safety is still an issue that needs to be studied by bureaucrats and researchers. This is because public bus accidents are still quite high. This is because many families, involved in traffic accidents, are shocked by the accident. Therefore, the problem of perception of a safe bus needs to be studied. The purpose of this study was to determine the perception model of a safe public bus. Mathematical modeling based on the parameters that have been studied was selected first. While the second objective was to determine the importance value of the parameters that are an indication of the perception of the safety of intercity bus public transportation. This research is a type of perceptual one where the data is taken from the relevant respondents. The method of data collection was carried out using a questionnaire with respondents from bus company owners, drivers, and passengers in the province of East Java, Indonesia. Respondents were asked to answer questions related to the variables of income, speed, comfort, and safety. The method of conjoint analysis is used. The first stage is the result of modeling the perception of a safe bus. Further analysis is carried out to obtain the importance value of the parameters. The result of this research is a utility model for the perception of a safe bus, which is expressed by the equation U, where the variables include income, speed, comfort, and safety. The highest level of importance is income 33.29 %, followed by the security variable with a weight of 25.39 %. This shows that the income factor is a top priority for drivers and management of bus company owners, while road safety is second only to income. In other words, respondents’ perceptions are more concerned with income, while safety is still a non-priority factor

The Indonesian government is putting an effort into reducing the number of gasoline-fueled vehicles and replacing them with electric energy-based vehicles. This is stated in the General Draft of the National Energy Plan (RUEN), which is aimed at increasing the resilience of the national energy sector. Motorcycles are the largest contributor to the vehicle population in Indonesia at 82%. As the Indonesian government intends to stimulate the replacement of gasoline-fueled motorcycles by electric motorcycles, it is useful to conduct a study on the preferences related to motorcycle product designs among two-wheeled vehicle users in Indonesia. This study used the Kansei Engineering method to get a design direction as well as a factorial analysis for data result processing in order to obtain a unique design factor. The number of respondents in this study was 104 people from Jakarta and Bandung. The results of this study show that the respondents wanted an overall design that looks playful and masculine yet compact and active. In addition, the design has to have elements of a big scooter. This study was designed as an initial stage within the R & D process of electric motorcycle products and will be further developed in a follow-up study.

Motorcycle is a popular mode of transportation in many developing countries, including Pakistan. Since the last decade, the registered number of motorcycles in Pakistan has increased by six times, constituting 74% of the total registered vehicles. However, limited research efforts have been made to investigate motorcycle-related safety issues in Pakistan. Thus, the relationship between potential risk factors and injury outcomes of motorcycle crashes is still unclear in the country. This study, therefore, established a random parameter logit model to examine the factors associated with the motorcycle injury severity. The analysis is based on two years (2014–2015) of data collected through the road traffic injuries surveillance system from Karachi city, Pakistan. The results indicate that the summer season, weekends, nighttime, elderly riders, heavy vehicle, and single-vehicle collisions are positively associated with fatalities, while the presence of pillion passengers and motorcycle-to-motorcycle crashes are negatively associated with fatalities. More importantly, in the specific context of Pakistan, morning hours, young riders, and female pillion passengers whose clothes stuck in the wheel significantly increase the fatal injury outcomes. Based on the findings, potential countermeasures to improve motorcycle safety are discussed, such as strict enforcement to control motorcyclists' risky behavior and speeding, provision of exclusive motorcycles lanes, and education of female pillion passengers. The findings from this study would increase awareness of motorcycle safety and can be used by the policymakers to enhance road safety in Pakistan, as well as in other developing countries with similar situations.

The importance of knowing the factors that influence coal transportation travel time based on driver behavior through work motivation. This research to assess the effect of presents inferential statistical data that determined the impact of environmental psychology and technical factors such as operational operational, social, health conditions, road quality, truck conditions, and weather on the travel timeliness with intervening work motivation. The data collected from 116 coal drivers using coal haul private roads in South Kalimantan, Indonesia. The research method uses qualitative and quantitative with structured drivers demographic and behavior questionnaires distributed to drivers. Structural equation modeling (SEM) using the Warp. PLS version 6 package to display the primary data results. Result-based research analysis on the hypothesis shows the more significant the road quality of coal haul drivers will increase work motivation and travel timeliness via work motivation. The higher the work motivation of coal haul drivers will increase travel timeliness performance. Based on the research equation that increasing operational working conditions, social conditions, road quality, truck conditions, weather conditions, and work motivation tend to increase travel timeliness. However, for health conditions negatively affect travel timeliness through work motivation, so the better health conditions will reduce travel timeliness.

Driven by the high social costs and emotional trauma that result from traffic accidents around the world, research into understanding the factors that influence accident occurrence is critical. There is a lack of consensus about how the management of congestion may affect traffic accidents. This paper aims to improve our understanding of this relationship by analysing accidents at 120 intersections in Adelaide, Australia. Data comprised of 1629 motor vehicle accidents with traffic volumes from a dataset of more than five million hourly measurements. The effect of rainfall was also examined. Results showed an approximately linear relationship between traffic volume and accident frequency at lower traffic volumes. In the highest traffic volumes, poisson and negative binomial models showed a significant quadratic explanatory term as accident frequency increases at a higher rate. This implies that focusing management efforts on avoiding these conditions would be most effective in reducing accident frequency. The relative risk of rainfall on accident frequency decreases with increasing congestion index. Accident risk is five times greater during rain at low congestion levels, successively decreasing to no elevated risk at the highest congestion level. No significant effect of congestion index on accident severity was detected.

The Vision Zero approach advocates for a road transport system designed with human injury tolerance and human fallibility as its basis. While biomechanical limits and the relationship between speed and injury outcome has been extensively investigated for car occupants and pedestrians, research analyzing this relationship for motorcyclists remains limited. The aim of this study was to address this issue by developing multivariate injury risk models for motorcyclists that estimate the relationship between speed and injury severity. For that purpose, motorcycle injury crashes from the German In-Depth Accident Study (GIDAS) database for the period 1999–2017 (n = 1037) were extracted. Different models were tested using logistic regression and backwards elimination of non-significant variables. The best fitting model in the current study included relative speed, type of crash opponent, impact location on the motorcycle and impact mechanism of the rider during the crash. A strong and significant relationship between relative speed and injury severity in motorcycle crashes was demonstrated. At 70 km/h, the risk for at least serious injuries in collisions with wide objects, crash barriers and narrow objects was 20%, 51%, and 64%, respectively. Further, it was found that head-on collisions between motorcycles and passenger cars, with both vehicles traveling at 60 km/h (a relative speed at 120 km/h), present 55% risk of at least serious injury to the motorcycle rider. More research is needed to fully understand the boundary conditions needed to design a safe road transport system for motorcyclists. However, this study provides important insights into the relationship between speed and injury severity for riders in various crash situations. The results may be useful in the discussion of appropriate speed limits and in determining the benefits of countermeasures which aim to reduce crash speed.

One of the advances in the development of a model of traffic accidents is indicated by the availability of generalized linear models (GLMs) and generalized additive models (GAMs) in the regression analysis. This paper will discuss the motorcycle accident prediction models using GLMs and GAMs on the north-south road corridor in Surabaya. The first part will discuss the model prediction of traffic accidents, as well as providing a brief review related to the use GLMs and GAMs in building models of accidents. Furthermore, application examples of GLMs and GAMs will be presented. To determine the effect of non-linear in each explanatory variable, smoothing the GAMs will be conducted in each variable gradually. Model diagnostic and intrepretations will be done in the final part. The results of the application of GLMs and GAMs indicates that the development of predictive models of motorcycle accidents with statistical methods can be used to diagnose problems in road safety. GAMs produces better models than the GLMs in which its condition without using the Poisson distribution, as shown in the difference in the value of the model parameter R-sq.(Adj), deviance explained, and the GCV score. By using the Poisson distribution with a log link-function, it appears that GLMs and GAMs produce the same model parameter values.

In fatal road vehicle accidents motorcycles are overrepresented per vehicle kilometre travelled. Fatal accidents involving motorcycles contain mode specific characteristics, and in common with fatal accidents involving all road users, speed typically presents as a significant contributory factor. The aim of the present study is to provide quantitative estimates for the contribution of speed in situations commencing from the reaction location to the safety critical event involving a motorcyclist and resulting in a fatal accident. The contribution of speed to the resulting accident risk and accident severity is considered from this reaction point. A speed-squared versus stopping distance domain, termed the severity-risk space, is examined to determine the accident measures. The defined accident measures, namely, accident risk, accident severity and accident severity risk are calculated for sixteen fatal accidents from a police dataset of recent UK motorcycle accidents. The estimates of the defined measures are provided in terms relative to values estimated for the vehicle travelling at the speed limit at the safety critical event. The relative accident risk in response to a safety critical situation shows a partial speed dependent reaction phase and a speed-squared dependent braking phase and ranges from 1.3 to 2.8. The speed-squared dependent accident severity measure ranges from 1.4 to 7.3 at pre-impact speeds. The relative accident severity risk shows speed squared to speed cubed dependency components during the reaction phase and a speed to the power of four dependent braking phase and ranges from 2.3 to 22.8. In eight cases the collision would have been avoided had the motorcyclist been travelling at the speed limit at the critical point and in the other eight cases the relative accident severity at impact ranged from 1.4 to 17.2. The speed-squared versus stopping distance domain provides an informative parameter space for considering the accident risk and accident severity dimensions of road user accidents.
