Topical Collection Information
Dear Colleagues,
Quad-Bikes and Side by Side off-highway vehicles (All-Terrian Vehicles (ATVs), Recreational Off-Highway Vehicles (ROVs), Sport Utility Vehicles (SUVs), Utility Terrian Vehicles (UTVs), etc.) continue to contribute to fatalities and serious injuries that are occurring around the world. This has attracted a great deal of attention from health professionals, engineers, regulators, the farming sector, and other safety stake holders, particularly in the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, Canada, and other countries. The Editors of Safety have decided to set up a knowledge base repository, representing a collection of peer-reviewed papers focusing on the safety of these vehicles. It is hoped that as the collection of papers grows it will help advance human public health related to the use of these vehicles.
Therefore, the Editors of Safety are proposing expanding on the Special Issue that focused on this field of research (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/safety/special_issues/vehicle-safety) in 2015 by establishing the Topical Collection “Terrain and Off-Highway Vehicle Safety", which is now open for submissions. We call on researchers, regulators, and practitioners to submit their research papers, case reports, reviews, communications, and commentaries related to these vehicle.
