ABSTRACT

According to the types of road including expressway, national highway, local road and etc, there are lots of differences on width, curvature, nature of pavement, and legal aspects relate to management and responsibility. We analyzed the severity of occupant injuries according to the types of road. This study conducted to a retrospective observational model based on the KIDAS database (Korean In-Depth Accident Study Database). The severity of occupant injuries was classified as to a MAIS (maximal abbreviated injury scale) and an ISS (injury severity score). On the expressway, accidents of trucks and vans related to the higher severity scores in occupant injuries. On the local road, accidents of sedans and trucks related to the higher severity scores. Regardless of the types of car, injury-severity of the accidents on the national highway was more severe than on the other types of road. Rollover accidents were the most dangerous type of injury on the expressway. On the national highway, the right-side impacts and rollover accidents were more dangerous to occupants.
