Abstract: | This paper analyzes gender differences in crash risk severities using data for signalized intersections. It estimates gender models for injury severity risks and finds that driver condition, type of crash, type of vehicle driven and vehicle safety features have different effects on females’ and males’ injury severity risks. Also, it finds some variables which are significantly related to females’ injury severity risks but not males’ and others which affect males’ injury severity risks but not females’. It concludes that better and more in-depth information about gender differences in injury severity risks is gained by estimating separate models for females and males. |
