Spatiotemporal Context for Vehicular Crash Fatalities Days Before and Days After Daylight Saving Time Transitions

Edmund Zolnik, Patrick Baxter

Transportation Development Research · 26-38 · 10.55121/tdr.v2i2.310

Vehicular crashes are historically a major cause of unintentional death in the United States. The empirical literature on safe transportation is rich with research on how human behavior results in lethal vehicular crash outcomes. Given the stubborn persistence in such outcomes, public policy that may contribute to unintentional
