Each year, there are thousands of car accidents in the U.S. These accidents claim many lives, and cost billions of dollars. There are many different types of accidents, including rear end collisions, side swipes, head on collisions, collisions with static obstacles, accidents while merging or changing lanes, and driving off the road. Mandatory seat belt usage, air bags, lower speed limits, rumb...

This work builds upon established Sandia intelligent systems technology to develop a unique approach for the integration of intelligent system control into the U. S. Highway and urban transportation systems. The Sandia developed concept of the COPILOT controller integrates a human driver with computer control to increase human performance while reducing reliance on detailed driver attention. Th...

Inter-vehicle communication is becoming increasingly relevant in the research and development of novel, innovative vehicular applications. To support the driver in his/her primary driving task in an effective non distracting way, these applications need to be evaluated in a realistic context from a driver’s perspective of the VANET environment. In this paper we propose an innovative driver-cent...

BACKGROUND Sensor technologies are designed to assist independent living of older adults. However, it is often difficult for older adults to make an informed decision about adopting sensor technologies. OBJECTIVE To explore Bruce's framework of informed decision making (IDM) for in-home use of sensor technologies in community-dwelling elders. METHOD The IDM framework guided development of a...

Intrusion detection system (IDS) is a system that gathers and analyzes information from various areas within a computer or a network to identify attacks made against these components. This research proposed an Intrusion Detection Model (IDM) for detection intrusion attempts, the proposal is a hybrid IDM because it considers both features of network packets and host features that are sensitive t...

Abstract. The development and validation of management practices to mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from livestock require accurate emission measurements. This study assessed the accuracy a practical inverse dispersion modelling (IDM) technique quantify methane (CH4) emitted small cattle herd (16 animals) confined 63 m × 60 experimental pen. IDM calculates increase in CH4 concentration ...

A road traffic system is a complex which includes four main parts – human, vehicle, road, and the natural environment. Road safety in Slovakia based on strategy of government, as well European policies. It important to implement strategic measures fields accidents, emergency services, definitions classifying injuries deaths decrease number injuries. The National plan’s must be included document...
