Robotic Highway Safety Markers

Proper traffic control is critical in highway work zone safety. Traffic control devices such as signs, barricades, cones, and plastic safety barrels are often used. Accidents can occur because of improper work zone design, improper work zone housekeeping, and driver negligence. One solution is to automate safety devices. This paper presents a mobile safety barrel robot. The Robotic Safety Barre...

The present study aimed to assess the effectiveness of training nurses on The National Program for Hospital Preparedness in their preparedness for disasters and accidents. Materials and Me...

Optimal mode changes for highway transportation safety

The problem of designing a decentralized advance hazard warning system for highway transportation systems entails the development of efficient switching controllers. In this paper, we represent the vehicle dynamics by a finite number of modes, each of which is represented by a low order transfer function and a constant time delay. The problem of highway safety analysis then gets translated into...
