human driver or control the vehicle autonomously, they usually must make these decisions in real time with only incomplete information. So, human drivers still must maintain control over the vehicle. Advanced in-vehicle information systems (IVISs) endow vehicles with different types and levels of intelligence to complement the driver.2 Their introduction has allowed an almost symbiotic relation...

STUDY OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between motor vehicle driver injury and socioeconomic status. DESIGN Cohort study with prospective and retrospective outcomes. SETTING New Zealand. PARTICIPANTS 10 525 adults (volunteer sample of a multi-industry workforce, n=8008; and a random sample of urban electoral rolls, n=2517). OUTCOME MEASURE Motor vehicle driver injury resulting i...

Legacy device drivers implement both device resource management and isolation. This results in a large code base with a wide high-level interface making the driver vulnerable to security attacks. This is particularly problematic for increasingly popular accelerators like GPUs that have large, complex drivers. We solve this problem with library drivers, a new driver architecture. A library drive...

In our country, Student transportations’ security and driving accidents statistics for students is one of the major concerns for relevant organizations such as educational organization. In current year, a system, was named Sepand, was formed in city taxi driver ::::::union:::::: by educational organization, NAJA traffic and city taxi driver ::::::union::::::. In this systems’ plan, ...

In this study, a control strategy to improve the fuel economy was proposed for a PHEV(plug-in hybrid electric vehicle) considering driver tendency. To identify the driver tendency, a driver model which reflects the driver tendency was developed using the driving data. The target PHEV model was developed based on MATLAB/Simulink and validation of the vehicle model was performed by experiments. F...

In this paper, an affordance-based Colored Petri Net (CPN) model for representing driver behavior is proposed. We adopt a simulation-based approach and conduct an analysis of driver affordances on a highway-driving task. The computational CPN model is an extension of the initial conceptual CPN model and allows experimenters to enforce driving preferences as preferential turn probabilities for i...

Driver assistance systems are designed to support a human driver in the driving task. Since drivers are very different, the assistance system must adapt to the driver in order to provide the best support. The driver adaptive assistance systems which are currently designed provide adaptability which is generally done by the driver himself. Some already provide automatical adaptation. One of the ...

A shift in consumer electronics from analog to digital technology is underway, and the television industry is transitioning from CRT to flat panel display (FPD) technology. With the increasing popularity of FPDs, the market for plasma display panels (PDPs) has also grown rapidly. The FPD market is divided according to screen size: sizes of 30 inches and smaller use liquid crystal display (LCD) ...

Intervention or evaluation studies represent a small proportion of traffic psychology research. The current study evaluated the effectiveness of a road safety intervention by measuring attitudes toward unsafe driving behaviors and risk perception. A sample of high school students (n=133) participated in a road safety intervention program focusing on attitudes and risk perceptions of young peopl...
