advanced driver assistance systems (adas) have the potential to accomplish a major contribution to road safety. this is valid for minor crashes to very severe accidents with personal injuries. the allianz centre for technology attends the development of new driver assistance systems by carrying out accident analysis and estimating the efficiency of new adas. in this context new adas from differ...

Driver heterogeneity in travel behavior has repeatedly been cited in the literature as a limitation that needs to be addressed. In this work, driver heterogeneity is addressed from four different perspectives. First, driver heterogeneity is addressed by models of driver perceptions of travel conditions: travel distance, time, and speed. Second, it is addressed from the perspective of driver lea...

This is the third update of research on graduated driver licensing (GDL) and related teenage driver issues. It briefly summarizes research published since or not included in the 2005 update (Hedlund, J., & Compton, R. (2005). Graduated driver licensing research in 2004 and 2005. Journal of Safety Research, 36(2), 109-119.), describes research in progress of which the authors are aware, and anno...

Somatic mutations in protein kinases (PKs) are frequent driver events in many human tumors, while germ-line mutations are associated with hereditary diseases. Here we present Kin-driver, the first database that compiles driver mutations in PKs with experimental evidence demonstrating their functional role. Kin-driver is a manual expert-curated database that pays special attention to activating ...

Drivers need to coordinate with each other to share the road infrastructure. The social relationship between drivers also influences the driving behavior. With everywhere available connectivity and the broad penetration of social network services, the relationship between drivers on the road may gain more transparency, enabling social information to pass through the steel shell of the cars and ...

ith the “graying of America,” the need for the appropriate assessment of driving performance in the elderly is increasing. Three general approaches may be taken: selfreport based on questionnaires, driving simulators, and driving monitors. Each approach has its own advantages and drawbacks. Self-report is subjective and of questionable reliability. Driving simulators provide strict control over...

Generating satisfactory routes for driving is a challenging task because the desirability of a particular route depends on many factors and varies from driver to driver. Current route advice systems present a single route to the driver based on static evaluation criteria, with little or no recourse if the driver finds this solution unsatisfactory. In this paper, we propose a more flexible appro...

Different tumor types vary greatly in their distribution of driver substitutions. Here, we analyzed how mutation and natural selection contribute to differences in the distribution of KRAS driver substitutions between lung, colon and pancreatic adenocarcinomas. We were able to demonstrate that both differences in mutation and differences in selection drive variation in the distribution of KRAS ...

Urban traffic flow is a complex system. Behavior of an individual driver can have butterfly effect which can become root cause of an emergent phenomenon such as congestion or accident. Interaction of drivers with each other and the surrounding environment forms the dynamics of traffic flow. Hence global effects of traffic flow depend upon the behavior of each individual driver. Due to several a...
