INTRODUCTION
This study explores the differences in injury severity between male and female drivers, and across the different age groups, in single-vehicle accidents involving passenger cars.
METHOD
Given the occurrence of an accident, separate male and female multinomial logit models of injury severity (with possible outcomes of no injury, injury, and fatality) were estimated for young (ages 16 to 24), middle-aged (ages 25 to 64), and older (ages 65 and older) drivers.
RESULTS
The estimation results show statistically significant differences in the factors that determine injury-severity levels between male and female drivers and among the different driver age groups.
CONCLUSIONS
We discuss a number of plausible explanations for the observed age/gender differences and provide suggestions for future work on the subject.
IMPACT ON INDUSTRY
A better understanding of age and gender differences can lead to improvements in vehicle and highway design to minimize driver injury severity. This paper provides some new evidence to help unravel this complex problem.
引言
本研究探讨了在涉及乘用车的单车事故中，男性和女性驾驶员之间以及不同年龄组之间的伤害严重程度差异。
方法
考虑到事故的发生，针对年轻（16至24岁）、中年（25至64岁）和老年（65岁及以上）驾驶员，分别估计了伤害严重程度的男性和女性多项logit模型（可能的结果有无伤害、受伤和死亡）。
结果
估计结果表明，在决定男性和女性驾驶员以及不同驾驶员年龄组之间伤害严重程度水平的因素上，存在统计学上的显著差异。
结论
我们讨论了对观察到的年龄/性别差异的一些合理的解释，并为该主题的未来研究提供了建议。
对行业的影响
更好地理解年龄和性别差异可以改进车辆和公路设计，以尽量减少驾驶员的伤害严重程度。本文提供了一些新的证据来帮助解决这个复杂的问题。
