The types of accidents that this thesis addresses are: run-off accidents in urban areas, run-off crashes involving motorcyclists, run-off crashes in interurban areas and impacting against a metal barrier and finally, run-off accidents from the lane itself that involve a subsequent head-on or side collision against another vehicle”.The relevance of this thesis can be summarized by the following:Road safety for motorcyclists: The first publication of this thesis provides knowledge concerning this field on the injuries that these users suffer in all kinds of accidents, including run-off crashes.Metal barriers during road run-off crashes: Through the second publication, knowledge is provided concerning this type of collision (run-off accidents against metal barriers) that could be taken into account in a future update of the standards that regulate the behavior of these barriers.Urban areas: Through the third publication, the places where the risk of a run-off crash is greater are characterized. The results are focused only on geometric variables so that engineers can locate unsafe urban locations and, in this way, contribute to the improvement of road safety.Lane run-off: The fourth and last publication addressed the issue of the conversion of the so-called 1+1 roads to 2+1 roads, and which is present in the design projects of new roads. The objective of this publication was to characterize those 1+1 road locations where the risk of lane run-off is high and, at the same time, identify the ones which are easily convertible into 2+1 road sections.This thesis focuses mainly on how the infrastructure factor can influence the occurrence and development of run-off crashes.
