background : the cause of death is difficult to interpret in a road-traffic accident (rta) victim, because multiple injuries make it difficult to decide on the most fatal lesion, particularly when death is delayed by prompt medical intervention; and secondary haemorrhage, renal failure, fat embolism, systemic infections, myocardial or cerebral infarction – all comes under the potential differen...

people with alzheimer disease (ad) have decreases in brain cell function that may increase their risks as drivers. the changes in brain cells affect memory (at first, short-term memory and then much later, long-term memory) and other thinking functions. in addition, people with early ad, though often very functional in many areas of life, may not be as competent behind the wheel of a car as tho...

spinal cord injury (sci) is one of the devastating conditions leading to functional and neurological deficits following road traffic accidents. to date, there is no definite treatment for repairing damaged spinal cord tissue. in this regard, cell therapy opens a new window in front of scientists by using different cells such as mesenchymal stem cells, olfactory ensheathing cells, schwann cells,...

In our previous studies,1,2,3) it was shown that the mortality from motor vehicle accident is affected by various psychosocial factors such as social mobility, high income, aging population, occupation, type of automobiles and climate . In this study, we aim at exploring neurobehavioral predictors which could distinguish the traffic accident-prone drivers from safe drivers ; eleven factors are ...

This paper describes sources of digital information which can be used for traffic analysis, and in particular post-accident analysis. We discuss how we can use this information to automatically find likely causes for traffic accidents and create a system which makes a simple report of an accident. With the Veins simulator we generate data of a head-tail collision and normal traffic situation in...
