To reduce the number of traffic accidents and to increase the drivers comfort, the thought of designing driver assistance systems rose in the past years. Fully or partly autonomously guided vehicles, particularly for road traffic, pose high demands on the development of reliable algorithms. Principal problems are caused by having a moving observer in predominantly natural environments. At the I...

The no-fault system offers an alternative method to tort litigation of obtaining compensation for injuries. By eliminating negligence as a criterion for payment, the no-fault system aims to pay compensation more quickly and return a higher percentage of the liability dollar to those who have suffered harm, either to person or to property. The no-fault concept has been widely applied, especially...

The LAMIH particularly the research group Human-Machine Systems, has studied humanmachine cooperation for many years, in a variety of contexts where safety is essential. Our approach is multi-disciplinary and uses different models and methods to elaborate symbolic and formal representations of human-machine cooperation. Our principal objective is to propose and evaluate a semi-formal framework ...

In this paper I estimate an age-adjusted value of statistical life (VSL) by examining consumer automobile purchases. Many public policies target the health and safety of older people, but most VSL estimates come from hedonic wage regressions with few older workers and no retirees. Although underrepresented in the labor force, senior citizens account for a sizeable share of vehicle acquisitions ...

While connecting people and their lives, roads also have a cost on them. It is clear that one of the major causes death worldwide traffic-related fatalities. In 2016, 1.35 million persons lost lives in traffic accidents, 90% which occurred poorer nations (World Health Organization, 2018). One top for children between ages 5 29 injuries. More lose as result automobile accidents than from diarrhe...

Driving is a daily activity throughout the world. However, driving at highways or city requires significant cognitive and motor skills such as visual-spatial ability, memory and information processing and rapid reaction. Recent studies show lack of driver alertness to be a major cause of automobile accidents on roadways across the world. The perceived state of alertness is a complex physiologic...

This article explores the explicative capabilities of neural network classifiers with automatic relevance determination weight regularization, and reports the findings from applying these networks for personal injury protection automobile insurance claim fraud detection. The automatic relevance determination objective function scheme provides us with a way to determine which inputs are most inf...

Driver drowsiness is a condition where the driver operating on automobile about to nod off or sleep which caused by various factors, can impair and hinder safe driving, including biological, physical, psychological, other factors. Accidents through are observed especially in case journeys long-distance, sleep-deprivation also plays role of prominent determining parameter. There extensive number...

INTRODUCTION traffic accidents are one of the main causes of death and disability, with motorcyclists representing the great majority of both the victims and the perpetrators. OBJECTIVE this work studied the characteristics of motorcyclists injured in accidents involving motorcycles and automobiles. METHOD this study sought to interview 100 motorcyclists who had been injured in collisions b...
