Investigation of the factors that cause head injuries in pedestrian-scooter crashes
With the increase of usage of PMD in Singapore, the rate of accidents occurring are on the rise. The common cause of injury is from the rider falling from his or her PMD, severity of the injury may worsen if no protective equipment was used. In this report, the author will assess the severity of hea...
