A Comparative Analysis of Powered Two Wheelers Crash Severity among Different Urban Areas

Powered Two-Wheelers (PTW) are greatly represented in fatal crashes, and they account for 21% of all road fatalities by mode of transport in urban areas of the European Union (EU). In an international comparison of PTWs crashes, Italy assumes leadership accounting for 30% of deaths on the total losses in crashes in urban area. In this paper a Bayesian approach is used to analyze a proportion of PTWs fatal crashes with respect to total number involving a PTW in different urban areas in Italy. Proportion of fatalities is used as measure of severity risk which can be ranked in order to identify anomalous situations.
