The third edition of the Norwegian Traffic Safety Handbook, was issued in 1997 (Elvik, Borger Mysen, Vaa 1997). The book gives a presentation of 124 road safety measures and covers measures in the following areas: 1. General purpose policy instruments (14 measures in total) 2. Road design and road furniture (20 measures) 3. Road maintenance (9 measures) 4. Traffic regulation (21 measures) 5. Ve...

BACKGROUND Daily magnitudes and fluxes of landbird migration are often measured via nocturnal traffic rates aloft or diurnal densities within terrestrial habitats during stopover. However, these measures are not consistently correlated and at times reveal opposing trends. For this reason we sought to determine how comparison methods (daily magnitude or daily flux), nocturnal monitoring tools (w...

Abstract. The operation of the urban traffic exist a high degree of complexity and randomness. The key of Intelligent Transportation System is the real-time and accurate traffic flow prediction. Taking effective measures in a timely manner would prevent the occurrence of traffic accidents since traffic congestion brings much traffic inconvenience to people. Real-time traffic flow prediction pla...

introduction: causes of death vary globally, and they depend regionally on lifestyle and socio-cultural factors. the purpose of this study was to determine accident-related mortality in southern khorasan province, iran, in the year 2010.  methods: this descriptive-analytical study involved all the death cases in the year 2010 in southern khorasan. the data were collected from the death registra...

Real-time operator workload assessment and state classification may be useful for decisions about when and how to dynamically apply automation to information processing functions in aviation systems. This research examined multiple cognitive workload measures, including secondary task performance and physiological (cardiac) measures, as inputs to a neural network for operator functional state c...

  Background :Traffic and transport is a substantial part of a range of economic, social and environmental factors distinguished to have impact on human health. This paper is a report on a preliminary section of a Health Impact Assessment (HIA) on urban traffic and transport initiatives, being conducted in Sanandaj, Iran. In this preliminary study, the psychometric properties of Urban Traffic r...

Nowadays, one of the problems of human life is popula- tion congestion and the lack of ability to meet their needs. One of the important infrastructures affected by this issue is the transportation infrastructure. Moreover, increasing transportation facilities through conventional methods, due to the need for macro investment and much time, cannot be nowadays considered as a proper and practi- ...

Road Traffic injuries are known as the most prevalent childhood injury and besides being the greatest cause of child mortality, place an extraordinary burden on health care system. Children’s limitation in cognitive, physical and social development makes them more vulnerable in road traffic injuries than adults. Their small structure cause challenges to see and be seen and their risk taki...

Demands by airlines in recent years to move away from the constraints of the current air traffic control (ATC) system have prompted much research in two related avenues of human factors. The first is concerned with assessing the effects implementing advanced ATC concepts, such as Free Flight, on controller performance, whereas the second is concerned with determining how automated tools can hel...
