Studying Near-miss Accidents instead of Crashes: Psychometric Characteristics of Near-miss Traffic Accidents Scale in Lithuanian Sample
Purpose. Road traffic accidents (RTA) still are a major problem that causes health problems or death. However, it is difficult to study RTA since relatively small amount of them happen. For this reason, researchers turn to near-miss traffic accidents as construct that can be related to RTAs. Though…

Is the Youth Aware of E-scooter Use Regulations? Evidence from the Region of Sicily
Micromobility became a trend over the last few years in many European cities, but also worldwide. This trend emerged after the appearance of many e-scooter sharing services, which mainly operated in a dockless way, i.e. without fixed stations. Shared e-scooters were initially recognized as an ideal…
