Factors affecting bus accident severity in Thailand: A multinomial logit model.

ABSTRACT: Bus accidents are a serious issue, with high rates of injury and fatality in Thailand. However, no studies have been conducted on the factors affecting bus accident severity in Thailand. A cross-sectional study was conducted by the Department of Highways, Thailand over the 2010-2019 period.
