Abstract The mortality of road accidents quadruples when, in addition to motorists, a motorcyclist is also involved. higher influenced by the greater exposure rider injuries during impact. This problem can be mitigated reducing, even slightly, impact’s speed. Bench tests carried out previous studies showed considerable influence inflation pressure on properties motorcycle tires. It could theref...

The misperception of vehicle approach speed is a key contributory factor to road traffic crash involvement. Past research has indicated that individuals use the rate of visual looming to calculate the time to passage (TTP) of a vehicle, and that smaller vehicles loom to a lesser extent than larger vehicles. Despite a disproportionate number of fatal injuries occurring on the road after dark, an...

BACKGROUND Apart from the mortality, road traffic injuries are associated with significant morbidities. This study has aimed to examine the pattern of traffic accident-related extremity fractures/dislocations and their related disabilities. METHODS A retrospective hospital-based study was conducted to assess the characteristics of limb fractures/dislocations among road traffic accident victim...

Driving simulators are used in many domains such as driving psychology, ergonomics, training. To be the most realistic, a driving simulator needs both good quality of 3D visual rendering and good quality of the associated traffic simulation. This work takes place in the traffic simulation framework, more precisely on the moving level of the motorized two-wheels vehicles. Indeed, these users are...
