This paper describes the use of ordered probit models to examine the risk of different injury levels sustained under all crash types, two-vehicle crashes, and single-vehicle crashes. The results suggest that pickups and sport utility vehicles are less safe than passenger cars under single-vehicle crash conditions. In two-vehicle crashes, however, these vehicle types are associated with less severe injuries for their drivers and more severe injuries for occupants of their collision partners. Other conclusions also are presented; for example. the results indicate that males and younger drivers in newer vehicles at lower speeds sustain less severe injuries.
本文描述了使用有序概率模型来研究在所有碰撞类型、两车碰撞和单车碰撞中遭受不同伤害程度的风险。结果表明，在单车碰撞情况下，皮卡和运动型多用途汽车比乘用车更不安全。然而，在两车碰撞中，这些车型的驾驶员受伤程度较轻，而其碰撞对象的乘客受伤程度较重。还给出了其他结论；例如，结果表明，驾驶较新车辆、车速较低的男性和年轻驾驶员受伤程度较轻。
