Injury risks for different road users in Nepal: a secondary analysis of routinely collected crash data

Background Road traffic injuries are the 12th leading cause of mortality globally. Nepal, one of the least developed countries in the world, has a rapidly rising rate of road traffic-related morbidity and mortality. There is incomplete reporting of traffic crashes in Nepal in the last three World Health Organization global status reports on road safety. Together with poor-quality coding of crashes, essential information to inform prevention interventions or make international comparisons is lacking. Objectives The study aimed to critically analyse routinely collected traffic police data in Makwanpur district, Nepal, to identify the road user groups most likely to be involved and injured in traffic crashes in this part of the country. Design Secondary data analysis. Setting Makwanpur district, Nepal. Data sources Road traffic crash records from the District Traffic Police Office, Makwanpur, over 2 years (April 2017–March 2018 and May 2019–April 2020). Data were extracted from paper-based records onto an electronic database, and the data were analysed descriptively using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 24.0 (IBM Corporation, USA). Results There were 291 crashes recorded in 2017–8 and 435 crashes in 2019–20. Two-wheeled vehicles (motorcycles/scooters) were the most frequently involved in police-reported crashes (35.5%). For most crashes (419/726, 58%), no cause was documented in the police record. Road users involved in crashes were mostly riders or passengers of motorised two-/three-wheelers (33.4%), four-wheeled vehicles (19.9%) or buses (16.7%). Of fatal injuries, 31.2% were riders or passengers of motorised two-/three-wheelers, and 24.8% were pedestrians. Limitations The data used represent crashes reported to the traffic police and therefore underestimate the true number of crashes and injuries. At the end of the second period of study, local movement restrictions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown limited the traffic on the roads, resulting in fewer crashes in March and April 2020. In most crash records, there were missing data, limiting the ability to determine contributory factors with confidence. Conclusion This study contributes to the evidence gap by describing crashes and mortality data by vehicle type and road user category. The findings suggest that the number and rates of crashes may be increasing over time. Action to improve the quality and completeness of data routinely collected by the traffic police is needed; a piloted web-based Road Accident Information Management System has the potential to support improved routine data collection. Future work The data indicate crashes occurring in one district over 2 years. To better understand the apparent increase in crashes, an analysis over a longer period, and over multiple districts, would be necessary. Funding This article presents independent research funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Global Health Research programme as award number 16/137/49.

Effect of spatial relationship between curves on crash severity at horizontal curves in a mountainous terrain

The study aimed to model the effect of spatial relationship between adjacent curves on the severity of curve-based crashes along with driver and crash causal characteristics, reflecting driver’s short-term expectancy. The crash and other associated data was retrieved from the web-based Road Accident Data Management System available in Himachal Pradesh, India, and curvature attributes were extracted using GIS. Overall, the study included 1113 curve based crashes. The driver’s perception of the sharpness of a curve was quantified as a single representative categorical factor based simultaneously on its length and radius using K-Medoid Clustering. Separate crash severity models catering to the two possible approach directions of the subject curve were developed reflecting its independent interaction with its corresponding adjacent curve in each direction. Partial Proportional Odds models were developed to overcome the predictive limitations of Ordinal and Multinomial logit models. Indicators of spatial relationship and the intensity of sharpness of the subject curve were found to be statistically significant. A sharp approach curve (radius:40–60 m) increased the risk of fatality by 2.16 times with a similar increase (2.5 times) observed for a short (length:30–60 m) adjacent curve. Adjacent curves turning in the same direction were 2.34 times more prone to fatalities. A very sharp subject curve with radius ≤ 40 m increased the risk of fatal crashes by 2.5 times, as did the short subject curves (30–60 m) (at least 3 times). Subject curves characterized by a short length and a very sharp curvature contributed relatively 3–4 times more to fatal crashes. The identified risk factors and their impact can help the relevant stakeholders to take appropriate actions and can further assist them in identifying high risk scenarios.
