people with alzheimer disease (ad) have decreases in brain cell function that may increase their risks as drivers. the changes in brain cells affect memory (at first, short-term memory and then much later, long-term memory) and other thinking functions. in addition, people with early ad, though often very functional in many areas of life, may not be as competent behind the wheel of a car as tho...

spinal cord injury (sci) is one of the devastating conditions leading to functional and neurological deficits following road traffic accidents. to date, there is no definite treatment for repairing damaged spinal cord tissue. in this regard, cell therapy opens a new window in front of scientists by using different cells such as mesenchymal stem cells, olfactory ensheathing cells, schwann cells,...

In Finland all fatal motor vehicle accidents are studied in-depth on-the-spot by multidisciplinary (police, road and vehicle engineers, physician and behavioural scientist) road accident investigation teams (legislation 2001, work started 1968), which operate in every province. The purpose of the teams is to uncover risk factors that turned an ordinary driving situation into a serious accident ...

This paper presents a multi-resolution approach for automatic extraction of roads from digital aerial imagery. Roads are modeled as a network of intersections and links between the intersections. of the image into context regions is done by texture analysis. The approach to detect roads is based on the extraction of edges in a high resolution image and the extraction of lines in an image of red...

awareness they gain from their surroundings. Recent statistics indicate that about 40 percent of road accident fatalities are pedestrians, 30 percent of which are under 18 years old. Based on the fact that almost two million Iranian students study in the vicinity of rural roads, this paper aims to develop a model for predicting the risk of students’ accidents near the aforementioned schools. Th...

Background: The incidences of head injuries are growing with increasing number of high speed motor vehicle, more movement of the public and mechanization in industry. Head injury is most common causes of mortality in road traffi c accidents and fall from Height. This is because of this special anatomical location of the Head in our body. This study is being taken into account to explore and eva...

Interacting with bicycles on urban road segments is complex for vehicles, due to the diverse and flexible cycling behavior that can cause interferences. Studies show driving mixed also a great challenge autonomous vehicles (AVs), it necessary consider interference of when selecting public roads testing. However, existing evaluation methods mostly focus functions accident analysis, although have...
