چکیده مقاله:

The aim of this study is to conduct an economic evaluation on the safety impacts of a change in a vehicle brand in Iranian fleet. This is done through conducting a sensitivityanalysis on a constructed Binomial Logistic Regression Model (BLRM). The results revealed that a hypothetical investment is not always economic. It depends on the difference between the intended vehicle and the subjected vehicle price and also on the amount of the reduction of driver’s death or injury probability. As an example, although the reduction of death or injury probability is the same for a change from Pride to Samand (from 0.319 to 0.298) and Peugeot 405 (from 0.319 to 0.299) to Samand (all the three are Iranian famous car brands), but changing Prides to Samands is not economic (investment rate of return =6%) because of the large price difference of these two vehicle brands (approximately 15 million Tomans); and it is economic for Peugeots 405 (investment rate of return =17%) since the price difference is much lower (3 million Tomans).
