Road traffic accidents are a global issue. North Cyprus exhibits a similar trend to the rest of the world. Urbanization and the increasing number of vehicles come along with the increase of road traffic accidents. The objectives of the current study are to draw attention to the issue of road traffic accidents and to identify which factors are the main causes of road traffic accidents in North Cyprus. This article follows a two-stage study to examine the causes of this critical issue. In the first stage, a survey was conducted to determine local public opinions. The participants were asked about how environmental factors, vehicle factors, human factors, and road factors impact accidents. According to the survey outcomes, human factors and road factors have the most significant impact. In the second stage of the study, official data from official statistics were considered. The number of accidents, fatalities, and injured people are indicated initially followed by the causes of accidents. Negligent driving and speeding were identified to be the most frequent causes within the studied period. At the end of the study, the common causes of accidents in official statistics and in survey results were specified. Negligent driving and over-speeding were the major causes of road traffic accidents according to the results.

Incessant of transportation demand growth in developing countries in latest years has led to several traffic issues in city areas, among the most challenging ones are vehicular emission, traffic congestion, and accidents. The growth of transportation demand has great influences, and very unfortunate impact on the society regarding crashes, death, and injuries from road accidents have reached epidemic proportions worldwide. The variation increased in speeds and vehicle density resulted in high exposure to accidents which lead loss of life and permanent disability, injury, and damage to property. This paper classified and investigate the most critical factors affect road traffic accidents (RTAs) in Tripoli the capital city of Libya. Four main categories were chosen to build the questionnaire, namely; human factors, road factors, vehicle factors and environmental factors. Moreover, a quantitative method was used to collect the data from the field, 400 respondents include; drivers, pedestrian and passengers were the sample size of the questionnaire and relative importance index (RII) were used for classification of one group and among all groups. The results show that more than 84%of respondents considered the over speeding as the most significant factor cusses of RTAs among all groups, while 81% considered the disobedience to driving code such as children who are playing with the car on the road as the most influential factor in human factors group. Also, nearly 74% of respondents seeing that poor brakes or brake failure factor has a high and considerable impact on the RTAs among the vehicle factors. Regarding the road factors group, 79% of the respondents ranked poor or no street lighting factor as one of the most effective factors on RTAs in road factors and third effecting factor concerning all factors, on the other hand, the environmental factors have the slights impacts compared with other factors.

Background: Road traffic accidents are currently among the most essential public health issues. According to the World Health Organization, given the rapid growth of road transport globally, road traffic accidents could be the third leading cause of death and disability in the world by 2020. This article examined the role of the human factor in road accidents during the Nowruz holidays, as a major cultural event in Iran. Materials and Methods: We explored the data of road accidents that occurred in Nowruz in 2016 and 2017 in Iran. Traffic accident data concerning the Nowruz holidays of 2016 and 2017 were collected by census method of sampling and based on the report of highway police. Additionally, the frequency of these accidents was analyzed according to travel time, accident type, gender, age, education, and vehicle type in different provinces. Results: The present study findings suggested that among human factors affecting Nowruz accidents in 2016 and 2017, the highest frequency belonged to unnecessary speeding. As in 2016 and 2017, it was the main responsible characteristic for 56.42% and 55.01% of accidents, respectively. In Nowruz 2016, the provinces of Tehran, Khorasan Razavi, Isfahan, Fars, and Khuzestan; in Nowruz 2017, the provinces of Tehran, Isfahan, Khorasan Razavi, Fars, and Gilan encountered the highest rates of accidents leading to injuries and deaths. Conclusion: To control unnecessary speeding and regulations disregard, planning for culturizing and the community-level education are suggested. Besides, increasing the quality and intelligence of vehicles and the construction of sliders, vertical lines on the road, warning signs, and billboards could help reduce the rate of accidents. Creating a working group of experts in psychology, traffic, etc., to study the pathology of dangerous behaviors, useless haste, and disregard for regulations and providing solutions could also be effective.

This paper discusses some of the human factors involved in the occurrence of road traffic accidents, and in particular those which are related to the drivers of the motor vehicles concerned. The occurrence of injury and death among persons involved in such accidents now ranks among the major public health tragedies of modern living. The paper discusses also the results and circumstances surrounding the various legislative measures which have been introduced in the State of Victoria since 1965 in an attempt to reduce and prevent injury and death among motor vehicle occupants, including children under eight years of age.

17 cases of implant failure of fracture of shaft of femur were studied. All cases were young adults less than40 years of age. 15 were males. 16 of 17 cases sustained their initial injury in road - traffic accidents. Platefailures were detected earlier than those of nails as nails kept on providing splintage to an otherwise ununitedfracture. 10 of 17 cases were treated by interlocking nailing during the resurgery. Cortico-cancellous bonegrafting was done in 9 of 17 cases as per merit of each case. Follow-up ranged from 6 months to 2 years. 15of 17 cases went on to sound union after the second operation.The wrong choice of implant, implants improperly applied and bone grafting not done as recommended(i.e. technical errors) is the major cause of implant failure. Nails with diameter more than 10 mm should beused as far as possible. Early detection and resurgery for K-nail failure should be done to prevent greateramount of shortening. Wherever plating is done, instead of attempting anatomic reduction and devascularisingthe bone, biological method of fixation should be used.Key Words: Implant Failure, Shaft of Femur, Fracture.

With the ever-increasing number of vehicles on the road, traffic accidents have also increased, resulting in the loss of lives and properties, as well as immeasurable social costs. The environment, time, and region influence the occurrence of traffic accidents. The life and property loss is expected to be reduced by improving traffic engineering, education, and administration of law and advocacy. This study observed 2,471 traffic accidents which occurred in central Taiwan from January to December 2011 and used the Recursive Feature Elimination (RFE) of Feature Selection to screen the important factors affecting traffic accidents. It then established models to analyze traffic accidents with various methods, such as Fuzzy Robust Principal Component Analysis (FRPCA), Backpropagation Neural Network (BPNN), and Logistic Regression (LR). The proposed model aims to probe into the environments of traffic accidents, as well as the relationships between the variables of road designs, rule-violation items, and accident types. The results showed that the accuracy rate of classifiers FRPCA-BPNN (85.89%) and FRPCA-LR (85.14%) combined with FRPCA is higher than that of BPNN (84.37%) and LR (85.06%) by 1.52% and 0.08%, respectively. Moreover, the performance of FRPCA-BPNN and FRPCA-LR combined with FRPCA in classification prediction is better than that of BPNN and LR.
