Factors such as alcohol use, vehicle speed, restraint use, and driving experience<br \/>\nhave been identified as potential risks for fatalities in motor vehicle collisions. Environmental factors including weather conditions, visibility, and road type have also been associated with motor vehicle collision fatalities; however, fatal motor vehicle collision rates have been<br \/>\ndemonstrated to be higher in rural locations even when controlling for age, restraint use, and\u00a0vehicle speed.<\/p>\n<p>This study aims to assess which collision factors are most prevalent for fatal rural\u00a0motor vehicle collisions, and to address how those factors differ in significance between rural\u00a0and urban regions.<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:15px 0;border-width:1px;border-color:#ccc\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>James Roos<br \/>\n<span class=\"red bold\">Student Paper Competition: Honourable Mention<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":163,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"default","_kad_post_title":"default","_kad_post_layout":"default","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"default","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"default","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[340,346],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18386","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-2016-carsp-conference-acpser-halifax","category-research-and-evaluation"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carsp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18386","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carsp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carsp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carsp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/163"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carsp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18386"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/carsp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18386\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20650,"href":"https:\/\/carsp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18386\/revisions\/20650"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carsp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18386"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carsp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18386"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carsp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18386"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
