Estimation of traffic conflicts using precise lateral position and width of vehicles for safety assessment
2019, Accident Analysis and PreventionCitation Excerpt :Although many studies have attempted to evaluate the effectiveness of SMoS in estimating conflicts, they have not focused on estimating conflicts in different environmental conditions such as nighttime. In several traffic conditions, the number of crashes that occur during nighttime is considerably high (Bella et al., 2014; Plainis et al., 2006; Sullivan and Flannagan, 2002; Williams, 1985). Causal factors of nighttime crashes include poor visibility and increased driver distraction due to fatigue or sleep, which require special safety measures (Bella et al., 2014; Chipman and Jin, 2009).
Young drivers' night-time mobility preferences and attitude toward alcohol consumption: A Hybrid Choice Model
2015, Accident Analysis and PreventionCitation Excerpt :Several studies analyse the relationship between crash occurrences and time of day. US data (Williams, 1985) indicate heightened risk after dark. In his research, Williams shows that 50% of young drivers' fatal crashes occurred during these hours and the excess risk was particularly marked on Friday and Saturday nights.
Social norms and risk perception: Predictors of distracted driving behavior among novice adolescent drivers
2014, Journal of Adolescent HealthExposure-based assessment of the effectiveness of Michigan's graduated driver licensing nighttime driving restriction
2011, Safety ScienceCitation Excerpt :In terms of nighttime driving, it has long been recognized that the driving period is particularly dangerous for the young drivers. Williams (1985) pointed out that for the 16-year-old (abbreviated as “yo”) male drivers the crash rate (per mile) in the nighttime was four times as high as that in the daytime. Considerable amount of relevant researches have been conducted to assess the effectiveness of GDL program in different states pertaining to the nighttime driving restriction.

2010, Journal of Safety ResearchA review of risk factors and patterns of motorcycle injuries
2009, Accident Analysis and PreventionCitation Excerpt :For example, 49% of motorcycle crash deaths in US police reports were attributable to alcohol use, in contrast to 26% of other motor-vehicle crash deaths (Villaveces et al., 2003). Compared with multiple-vehicle crashes, single-vehicle crashes account for a greater proportion of motorcycle deaths with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of ≧0.1 g/dl, particularly at night (Baker et al., 1992; Kasantikul et al., 2005; Preusser et al., 1995; Williams, 1985). While the risk of being involved in a fatal crash increases with increased BAC levels for all age groups (Mayhew et al., 1986), more than 60% of motorcycle deaths among young riders aged 15–29 years involved alcohol (Holubowycz et al., 1994; Holubowycz and McLean, 1995; Larsen and Hardt-Madsen, 1987).
