Evaluating safety impacts of network planning alternatives have a potential to improve safety in a proactive manner at the system level and at a minor cost of additional analysis. This paper presents a computer-implemented GIS-based method of predicting safety for planning alternatives. Although applicable to large road networks, the method predicts crashes at the road facility level (intersect...

The IC industry is built on a foundation of simulation and prediction. We use models for frequency, power, yield, cost... We rarely prototype, or crash test! Models are derived from “characterization” which is done at multiple nested levels. Manufacturing, Devices, Gates, Units, Chips. Technology complexity beyond the 90nm node is making this characterization and representation increasingly dif...

This paper presents a before-after crash, injury and traffic study of constructing bicycle tracks and marking bicycle lanes in Copenhagen, Denmark. Corrections factors for changes in traffic volumes and crash / injury trends are included using a general comparison group in this non-experimental observational study. Analysis of long-term crash trends points towards no significant abnormal crash ...

background and objectives: in many studies, chronic diseases are associated with incidence of driving accident. the main objective of the present study is investigation the effect of physical and mental disorders status of bus drivers on the occurrence of crashes. materials and methods: this research is a cross-sectional and descriptive-analytical study that was performed on 665 bus drivers' pu...

OBJECTIVE The objective of the present study was to validate sequelae prediction by the Maximal Injury Impairment Score (M-IIS) in comparison with the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) assessed at 1-year follow-up of severe road crash victims. METHODS The study population came from "the Etude et Suivi d'une Population d'Accidentés de la Route dans le Rhône" (ESPARR; Rhône Area Road Crash ...

BACKGROUND External validation on different TBI populations is important in order to assess the generalizability of prognostic models to different settings. We aimed to externally validate recently developed models for prediction of six month unfavourable outcome and six month mortality. METHODS The International Neurotrauma Research Organization - Prehospital dataset (INRO-PH) was collected ...
