The use of heavy goods vehicles (HGV) has grown locally and globally. In this regard, every road user faces a high accident risk is susceptible to traffic-related injuries deaths. There substantial focus on law enforcement prevent overloading, speeding, illegal substance among drivers. Nonetheless, evidence about the complex causes HGV accidents still scarce. Thus, paper aims outline literature...

As the traffic problems in urban areas are going to increase traffic surveillance systems based on video are attracted over past decades. These systems are very much useful to monitor and manage various traffic conditions such as traffic management, prevention of accident, also secure transportation .Within this vehicle speed determination on the road is one of the aim. So the vehicle speed det...

motor vehicle and falling down are responsible for the most number of traumatic injuries. this study aimed to compare the characteristics of traumatic brain injury among accident and falling down cases. in this analytical cross- sectional study, data were collected from the records of cadavers who died due to accident or falling down and referred to kahrizak dissection hall, tehran forensic med...

This paper demonstrates how a new modeling methodology can be applied to intersection angle-accident risk evaluation with data collected from 81 signalized intersections in the Tokyo Metropolitan area. Angle collisions between through traffic flow and opposite right-turn (please note that vehicles travel along the left side of the road in Japan) traffic flow are the second most common type at s...

One source of vehicle conflict is the freeway weaving section, where a merge and diverge in close proximity require vehicles either entering or exiting the freeway to execute one or more lane changes. Using accident data for a portion of Southern California, we examined accidents that occurred on three types of weaving sections defined in traffic engineering: Type A, where every merging or dive...

Hazardous Materials transportation risk mitigation may be achieved by reducing the accident probability and alleviating the associated potential consequences. The consideration of risk as a criterion for selecting Hazardous Materials distribution routes contributes substantially to the reduction of accident probability and the severity of the accident consequences. Furthermore the optimum deplo...

This paper presents an agent-based traffic simulation framework that supports intelligent virtual driver behaviour. The framework exploits concepts used in Artificial Life (ALife), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Agent technology to model the inherent unpredictability and autonomous behaviour of drivers within traffic simulation models. Each driver agent in our system contains knowledge and a ...

car accidents are documented as a growing public health problem in iran as well as other developing countries. generally growing number of population and vehicles are not accompanied by extending road construction programs. these could be result in high death, disability, and economic loss in such country compare to develop one. this mainly affected young person who are economically more active...
