Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The use of ATV (Quad Bikes) and off-highway vehicles, such as Side by Side Vehicles (SSV) and Utility Terrain Vehicles (UTVs), both recreationally (ROVs) and in the workplace, continues to be a major contributor to fatal and serious injuries throughout the world. Despite significant attention, little progress has been made in reducing these incidents or their severity, and indeed, trauma related to the use of these vehicles appears to be increasing. In some countries, such as Sweden and parts of the USA, such vehicles are permitted to travel on public roads, further exacerbating the injury problem. This Special Issue will focus on all aspects of safety associated with these vehicle types. Researchers can submit papers dealing with any aspect related to the safety of these vehicles.
