Abstract EN
The effect of aggressive driving behavior on driver’s injury severity is analyzed by considering a comprehensive set of variables at highway-rail grade crossings in the US.
In doing so, we are able to use a mixed logit modelling approach; the study explores the determinants of driver-injury severity with and without aggressive driving behaviors at highway-rail grade crossings.
Significant differences exist between drivers’ injury severity with and without aggressive driving behaviors at highway-rail grade crossings.
The level of injury for younger male drivers increases a lot if they are with aggressive driving behavior.
In addition, driving during peak-hour is found to be a statistically significant predictor of high level injury severity with aggressive driving behavior.
Moreover, environmental factors are also found to be statistically significant.
The increased level of injury severity accidents happened for drivers with aggressive driving behavior in the morning peak (6-9 am), and the probability of fatality increases in both snow and fog condition.
Driving in open space area is also found to be a significant factor of high level injury severity with aggressive driving behaviors.
Bad weather conditions are found to increase the probability of drivers’ high level injury severity for drivers with aggressive driving behaviors.
