Motorcycles are Vulnerable Road Users (VRU) and as such, in addition to bicycles pedestrians, they the traffic actors most affected by accidents urban areas. Automatic video processing for surveillance cameras has potential effectively detect track these road users. The present review focuses on algorithms used detection tracking of motorcycles, using infrastructure provided CCTV cameras. Given...

OBJECTIVE To analyze the characteristics of visits resulting from land transport injuries. METHODS A total of 5,934 visits in four hospital emergency departments (ED) were analyzed, in the state of São Paulo, in 2005. A questionnaire based on the following three models was used to collect data: World Health Organization (WHO), Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and Pan American ...

OBJECTIVES To quantify and describe the mechanism of road traffic injury (RTI) deaths in India. DESIGN We conducted a nationally representative mortality survey where at least two physicians coded each non-medical field staff's verbal autopsy reports. RTI mechanism data were extracted from the narrative section of these reports. SETTING 1.1 million homes in India. PARTICIPANTS Over 122 00...

conclusions this study showed that drivers, passengers and pedestrians were the most vulnerable road users. regarding the fact that most of them were illiterate or had primary education and were self-employed or laborers, it seems essential to develop plans not only to train the road users but also to evaluate the safety of vehicles and roads and post-accident care programs, and consequently, i...

Following the implementation of AEB City and AEB Inter-Urban systems in Euro NCAP’s safety rating in 2014, a third type of AEB technology, Autonomous Emergency Braking for Vulnerable Road Users (AEB VRU), will be added to the overall assessment of new vehicles in 2016. The introduction of AEB VRU will be done in two phases where in 2016 AEB Pedestrian is implemented followed by AEB Cyclists in ...

The vehicle traffic accidents have been widely studied in different countries, but the difference of nature of traffic accidents in different countries was not adequately investigated for set suitable protective strategy in different area. This study aimed to identify the occurrence, type and mechanisms of the traumatic injuries of the vulnerable road users (VRUs) in vehicle collisions in China...

The characteristics of autonomous vehicles’ collisions from 2021 and the first half 2022 in California confirm trends reported previous years. Driving mode was associated with fewer instances which AV deemed to be at fault a collision. Most were rear-end intersections. Single vehicle occurred mostly manual mode. Collisions vulnerable road users while mode, often right after disengagement In oth...

In this paper, we pay significant attention to the most vulnerable road users (i.e., people with disabilities) when interacting cyclists. The special needs of these groups are studied by distributing an online questionnaire about their perception and interaction cyclists besides conducting on-road experiment test possibility sharing cycling infrastructure wheelchair users. authentic case study,...

With the development of economic, the traffic requirement rapidly increases in Shanghai. Besides building more new infrastructures, the administrators put forward to many countermeasures to increase the vehicle traffic capacity previously and to meet the traffic requirement in China. At the same time, the urban traffic facilities are set up by different departments of government during differen...
