Abstract

In the last years, it is evident that cycling is becoming an alternative transportation mode to driving and has gained more popularity among all age groups, particularly in metropolitan cities, due to COVID-19. Although cycling is beneficial to individuals and urban cities (i.e., reduction of traffic congestion and promotion of a healthy lifestyle), it could also expose cyclists to risky situations, resulting in serious consequences. Therefore, this research aims at conducting a comprehensive analysis of the key contributory factors by using data derived from cycling accident and literature reports. More specifically, the accident data are first used to prioritize contributory factors contributing to a high level of cycling risk, and then the results guide the development of the literature review. The literature review analysis emphasized the characteristics, relationships, and control measures against different selected contributory factors identified from cycling accident reports. The in-depth analysis aids to figure out and better understand what the characteristics and relationships of these factors are, how they affect the safety of cyclists individually and jointly, and what to do to control their negative effects. The findings will not only provide practical insights for transport authorities to control contributory factors influencing cycling safety, but also engage more research for the improvement of cycling popularity, prevention of cycling risks, and enhancement of cycling safety in future. © 2023 American Society of Civil Engineers.

影响自行车安全的关键因素:基于事故数据和文献调查的综合评价

在过去的几年里，很明显，骑自行车正在成为一种替代驾驶的交通方式，并且在所有年龄组中越来越受欢迎，特别是在大都市，由于COVID-19。虽然骑自行车对个人和城市都有益(即减少交通拥堵和促进健康的生活方式)，但它也可能使骑自行车的人面临危险，造成严重后果。因此，本研究旨在利用自行车事故数据和文献报道，对主要影响因素进行综合分析。更具体地说，首先使用事故数据来优先考虑导致高水平骑车风险的因素，然后结果指导文献综述的发展。文献回顾分析强调了从自行车事故报告中确定的不同因素的特征、关系和控制措施。通过深入的分析，可以更好地了解这些因素的特点和相互关系，以及它们如何影响骑车者的安全，以及如何控制它们的负面影响。研究结果不仅可以为交通管理部门控制影响骑车安全的因素提供实用的见解，还可以在未来进行更多的研究，以提高骑车的普及程度，预防骑车风险，提高骑车的安全性。©2023美国土木工程师学会。

期刊介绍： The journal will meet the needs of the researchers and engineers to address risk, disaster and failure-related challenges due to many sources and types of uncertainty in planning, design, analysis, construction, manufacturing, operation, utilization, and life-cycle management of existing and new engineering systems. Challenges abound due to increasing complexity of engineering systems, new materials and concepts, and emerging hazards (both natural and human caused). The journal will serve as a medium for dissemination of research findings, best practices and concerns, and for the discussion and debate on risk and uncertainty related issues. The journal will report on the full range of risk and uncertainty analysis state-of-the-art and state-of-the-practice relating to civil and mechanical engineering including but not limited to: • Risk quantification based on hazard identification, • Scenario development and rate quantification, • Consequence assessment, • Valuations, perception, and communication, • Risk-informed decision making, • Uncertainty analysis and modeling, • Other related areas. Part A of the journal, published by the American Society of Civil Engineers, will focus on the civil engineering aspects of these topics. Part B will be published by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers focusing on mechanical engineering.
