As technology has been improved by many changes and inventions are made almost every day. Traumatic events come in many different ways at many different times of one’s life. Recent trends on the advantage of communication technologies in case of emergency situations supported by artificial intelligence systems (AIS) which are capable to take automatic decisions. To improve the assistance time o...

Pavement frictional characteristics are commonly determined by conducting skid tests in accordance with ASTM Standard E274. The results of these tests [skid number (SN)] are used in ranking roads to establish construction priorities and to estimate tirepavement friction in accident analysis. The role of SN in these two applications is addressed. There are serious limitations constraining the us...

The paper is devoted to analysis of data related to traffic accidents at one of the roads in Czech Republic. The data sets are available as discrete-valued variables providing results of traffic accident (with death or not) as well as conditions under which the accident has happened (weather, visibility, speed etc). Situation of a traffic accident is modeled within state-space framework. Estima...

China’s urban rail transit (URT) construction is coming into the stage of rapid development under the guidance of national policies. However, the URT construction projects belong to high-risk projects and construction safety accidents occur frequently. Presently, safety risk management is in continuous development. Unfortunately, due to risk data deficiencies and lack of relationship between pa...

original article   various aspects of work and occupational diversity and the complexity of the nursing profession have a significant impact on the incidence rate of unsafe acts and consequences of accidents. in this regard, safety attitude will have a significant impact on occupational accidents among nursing personnel. the aim of this study was to assess safety attitude among nurses and its r...

This paper aims to spatially differentiate the road accident risk associated with living at a certain place of residence. Official accident data usually record the place the accident occurred, but not the casualties' places of residence. Among those involved in an accident at a certain place there may obviously be some non-residents, such as in-commuters and transients. Hence spatial analysis b...

Injury characteristics of child passengers in accidents are summarized in this paper. Based on the accident data about child passengers from 2011 to 2017 collected in the National Automobile Accident In-Depth Investigation System (NAIS), the analysis of the patterns of the traffic accident where child passengers are involved and injury characteristics of child passengers in the aspects of crash...
