How do motorists’ pre-crash behaviors contribute to the injury severity of police officers? Using interpretable machine learning to untangle the behavioral pathways in crashes involving police vehicles
This study provides valuable insights into the behavioral pathway leading to police injury severities. By understanding the direct and indirect contributors to police injury severity, policymakers can develop targeted interventions to address these key risk factors and improve overall road safety for police officers.
