A driver focused truck crash prediction model. - Cantor DE, Corsi TM, Grimm CM, Özpolat K.
This paper advances a driver focused truck crash prediction model. The model investigates the contribution of driver factors on the number of state reportable crashes in which the driver was involved. The findings suggest that the following factors are sig...
A head-neck biomechanical model of a 6-year-old child for frontal crash studies. - Cazon A, Suescun A.
The objective of this research is the development of a detailed computational model describing the kinematic and dynamic behaviour of a 6-year-old child head-neck group in frontal crash situations without head contact. The child model was scaled down from ...
An experimental analysis of intelligibility and efficiency of in-vehicle route guidance system displays. - Fujii S, Kitamura R, Nagao M, Doi Y.
[Abstract unavailable]...
Decision fusion of a multi-sensing embedded system for occupant safety measures. - Hannan MA, Hussain A, Mohamed A, Samad SA, Wahab DA.
[Abstract unavailable]...
Design and efficiency measurement of cooperative driver assistance system based on wireless communication devices. - Ammoun S, Nashashibi F.
In this paper, we participate to the effort of investigating the use of the inter-vehicle communication in order to increase safety on the roads. In order to fill the gap between the standardization work and the proposed services, our work aims at designin...
Design of active suspension and electronic stability program for rollover prevention. - Yim S, Park Y, Yi K.

Drivers' propensity to have different types of intelligent speed adaptation installed in their cars. - Warner HW, Ozkan T, Lajunen T.
The aim of the present study was to examine if there are differences in drivers' propensity to have different types of intelligent speed adaptation installed in their cars depending on the sample of drivers (i.e. Swedish or Turkish), their aberrant driving...
Effect of drowsiness on driving performance variables of commercial vehicle drivers. - Mortazavi A, Eskandarian A, Sayed RA.
[Abstract unavailable]...
Effects of head restraint and vehicle damage severity on neck injury risk. - Hong SJ, Choi HY.

Head injuries due to unrestrained objects during frontal collisions. - Cazon A, Suescun A.
This paper evaluates the consequences of the impact of an unrestrained object against the head of vehicle occupant during a frontal crash by means of a computational head-neck biomechanical model. The correct positioning of head restraints can partially...
Injury analysis of pedestrians in collisions using the pedestrian deformable model. - Teng TL, Le TK, Ngo VL.
Vehicle safety has become the most important issue in automobile design. However, all efforts to improve safety devices focus on enhancing safety features for occupants. Notably, pedestrians are the second largest category of motor vehicle deaths, after...
Optimization of bus rollover strength by consideration of the energy absorption ability. - Liang CC, Le GN.
Buses are an integral part of the national transportation system of each country. A rollover event is one of the most important hazards that concerns the safety of the passengers and the crew in a bus. In the past, it was observed after the accident tha...
Preliminary classification of driving style with objective rank method - Augustynowicz A.
This paper puts forward a method of preliminary driver classification, which applies two-criteria based analysis of the phenomenon of driving style. The resulting rank enabled the author to order the drivers according to their driving style, from the mo...
A Bayesian semi-parametric model to estimate relationships between crash counts and roadway characteristics. - Shively TS, Kockelman K, Damien P.
This paper uses a semi-parametric Poisson-gamma model to estimate the relationships between crash counts and various roadway characteristics, including curvature, traffic levels, speed limit and surface width. A Bayesian nonparametric estimation procedure ...
An analysis of communication and navigation issues in collision avoidance support systems. - Santa J, Toledo-Moreo R, Zamora-Izquierdo MA, Úbeda B, Gómez-Skarmeta AF.
Collision avoidance support systems (CASS) are nowadays one of the main fields of interest in the area of road transportation. Among the different approaches, those systems based on vehicle cooperation to avoid collisions present the most promising perspec...
