Analytical study on the performance of a high power pretensioner - Jung SP, Park TW, Song TR.
[Abstract unavailable]...
Assessment of the pedestrian friendliness of a vehicle using subsystem impact tests. - Teng TL, Nguyen TH.
[Abstract unavailable]...
Bayesian mixture modeling approach to account for heterogeneity in speed data - Park BJ, Zhang Y, Lord D.
Speed is one of the most important parameters describing the condition of the traffic flow. Many analytical models related to traffic flow either produce speed as a performance measure, or use speed to determine other measures such as travel time, delay, a...
Bird impact effects on different types of aircraft bubble windows using numerical and experimental methods. - Salehi H, Ziaei-Rad S, Vaziri-Zanjani MA.
[Abstract unavailable]...
Built environment and pedestrian behavior at rail rapid transit stations in Bangkok. - Townsend C, Zacharias J.
[Abstract unavailable]...
Characteristic analysis for cognition of dangerous driving using automobile black boxes. - Han I, Yang KS.
[Abstract unavailable]...
Collision avoidance support in roads with lateral and longitudinal maneuver prediction by fusing GPS/IMU and digital maps. - Toledo-Moreo R, Zamora-Izquierdo MA.
Collision avoidance in roads can be addressed in several ways, being cooperative systems one of the most promising options. In cooperative collision avoidance support systems (CCASS) the vehicles which constitute a scene share by means of communication lin...
Computation of axonal elongations: towards a new brain injury criterion - Marjoux D, Bourdet N, Willinger R.
Finite element head models are a well-known way to describe the intracerebral mechanical behaviour during a head impact and, hence, to develop diffuse axonal injury (DAI) prediction tools. Owing to the lack of experimental data, the brain model is usually ...
Countermeasures to mitigate head and neck injuries to toddlers in frontal and lateral vehicle crash conditions. - Kapoor T, Altenhof W, Howard A, Snowdon A, Rasico J, Zhu F, Mizuno K.
[Abstract unavailable]...
Fatal crash trends for Australian young drivers 1997-2007: Geographic and socioeconomic differentials. - Chen HY, Senserrick T, Martiniuk AL, Ivers RQ, Boufous S, Chang HY, Norton R.
BACKGROUND: Little has been published on changes in young driver fatality rates over time. This paper examines differences in Australian young driver fatality rates over the last decade, examining important risk factors including place of residence and soc...
Neuropsychological Predictors of Driving Errors in Older Adults. - Dawson JD, Uc EY, Anderson SW, Johnson AM, Rizzo M.
OBJECTIVES: To identify neuropsychological factors associated with driving errors in older adults. DESIGN: Cross-sectional observational study. SETTING: Neuropsychological assessment laboratory and an instrumented vehicle on a 35-mile route on urban and ru...
Passenger accidents and injuries reported during 3 years on a cruise ship. - Dahl E.
Background. The objective was to register and analyze data from all passenger injuries reported to the medical centre of a cruise ship with a median passenger load of 719 per day during a three-year period, and to determine high risk areas, equipment, and ...
Social desirability effects in driver behavior inventories. - af Wåhlberg AE.
PROBLEM: The use of lie scales to control for common method variance in driver behavior inventories has been very limited. Given that such questionnaires often use self-reported safety variables as criteria, and have social implications, the risk of artefa...
Survey of pedestrian detection for advanced driver assistance systems. - Gerónimo D, López AM, Sappa AD, Gräf T.
Advanced driver assistance systems (ADASs), and particularly pedestrian protection systems (PPSs), have become an active research area aimed at improving traffic safety. The major challenge of PPSs is the development of reliable on-board pedestrian detecti...
The regulation of pedestrian traffic lights in Spain: Do older people have enough time to cross the road? - Romero Ortuño R.
INTRODUCTION: In Spain, citizen complaints continue to be filed about pedestrian traffic lights in urban areas not providing enough time to cross roads safely, especially by the elderly and people with disabilities. This is despite the existence of accessi...
Who by Accident? The Social Morphology of Car Accidents. - Factor R, Yair G, Mahalel D.
Prior studies in the sociology of accidents have shown that different social groups have different rates of accident involvement. This study extends those studies by implementing Bourdieu's relational perspective of social space to systematically explore t...
