Investigating Awareness and Usage of Electronic Resources by Research Scientists in Ghana
The study investigated the use of electronic resources/information by research scientists in Ghana. Specically, to investigate the awareness and level of use of electronic resources; perceived reliance, benets and impact of use of electronic resources on the research activities. -
Road traffic fatalities among children in Ghana
Objective The key objective of the study was to establish the characteristics of fatal road traffic crashes involving children (≤15 years) and to recommend measures to control them. Materials and Methods Crash data for the period 2004–2008 in Ghana were analyzed using the micro-computer accident analysis package (MAAP) software. Recently published transport-related epidemiological and other studies provided additional data sources. -
Analysis of fatal road traffic crashes in Ghana
The major objective of this study was to identify the risk factors associated with fatal road traffic crashes (RTCs) and to propose remedial measures to address them. Fatal RTC data for the period 2005–2007 in Ghana were analysed using the Micro-computer Accident Analysis Package (MAAP) software. -
Modelling risk factors for red light violation in the Kumasi Metropolis, Ghana.
Red light running places the violator and other road users at risk of road traffic crash. The aim of this research was to undertake a baseline study to establish the current rate of red light running in the Kumasi Metropolis, Ghana and to determine the associated risk factors. -
Crash prediction model for two-lane rural highways in the Ashanti region of Ghana.
Crash Prediction Models (CPMs) have been used elsewhere as a useful tool by road Engineers and Planners. There is however no study on the prediction of road traffic crashes on rural highways in Ghana. The main objective of the study was to develop a prediction model for road traffic crashes occurring on the rural sections of the highways in the Ashanti Region of Ghana. -
