ABSTRACT

The incidence of traffic accidents related to SUV (Sport-utility vehicle) has increased gradually in Korea. We analyzed the characteristics of SUV-related occupant injuries based on the KIDAS (Korean In-Depth Accident Study) Database. The severity score of SUV-related occupant injury was significantly influenced by road types; higher on national highways and other roads (including downtown streets) but lower on expressways and local roads). It is statistically significant that the roll-over accidents was more dangerous than other types of injury-mechanism and fastening seat belts could reduce the occupant’s severity of injury (MAIS).
