The risk level of alcohol-involved traffic crashes is closely related to alcohol consumption. However, research on different influencing factors for DUI (Driving Under Influence) and DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) remains limited. This study analyzed data from 3,365 alcohol-related traffic crashes in Tianjin, China. The crashes were categorized into DUI and DWI based on drivers' Blood Alcohol Concentration. Four machine learning models were enhanced and compared. The accuracy, precision, recall and F1-score were used to evaluate the performance of the models. Shapley additive explanations were used to interpret model outputs and quantify risk factors and interaction effects on DUI and DWI crashes. The enhanced CatBoost model performed the best, with an AUC-ROC value of 0.953. The time period of crashes, intersection control or not, and the density of companies were identified as significant factors affecting DUI and DWI crashes. Interaction analysis indicated that drivers aged between 40 and 50 had a higher risk of DWI in areas with high intersection density; two-wheeled motorcycle riders exhibited higher DWI risk compared to car drivers between 21:00 and 24:00. These findings provide valuable insights for the traffic management department to implement targeted and refined control measures for DUI and DWI violations.

Introduction: Alternative transportation programs are widely promoted as a viable strategy for prevention of alcohol-impaired driving (AID) and crashes, with ride-sharing and safe-ride being two major approaches. The scientific literature on these programs frequently uses the terms "ride-sharing" and "safe-ride" interchangeably, though their meaning is not synonymous. This critical review set out to clarify the main characteristics of these programs to advance research, dissemination of the findings, and knowledge transfer in the alternative transportation field for AID and crash prevention.

Objective: To assess the feasibility of utilizing parameters derived from a multimodal apparent diffusion (MAD) model to distinguish between low- and high-grade clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).
Method: Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) scans with 12 b-values (0 - 3000 s/mm²) were conducted on 54 patients diagnosed with ccRCC (30 low-grade and 24 high-grade). The MAD model parameters, including diffusion coefficients (D D, D, D) representing restricted diffusion, hindered diffusion, unimpeded diffusion, and flow, respectively, were computed.

Objective: The prevalence of Driving Under the Influence (DUI) of alcohol or drugs has become a prominent factor in the occurrence of severe road crashes worldwide. Driving often occurs after visiting, and presumably drinking, at Alcohol-Serving Establishments (ASEs), and is thus of interest as a possible source of DUI events.
Methods: We apply statistical and machine learning models to the Victorian Integrated Survey of Travel and Activity (VISTA) to identify factors that contribute to driving in trips from ASEs in Australia's state of Victoria.

Roadside service and incident response personnel face the risk of being killed or severely injured by passing vehicles when performing their duties on or along a road. This study investigated 5,113 responder-involved event news reports to understand the characteristics of first responder-involved incidents. Through text mining, this study examined and compared the characteristics of three types of responder-involved incidents: near-miss incidents, struck-by incidents, and line-of-duty-deaths (LODD).
