ASSET LEVELS GROWING: In 2011, there was $12.4 billion in health savings accounts (HSAs) and health reimbursement arrangements (HRAs), spread across 8.4 million accounts, according to data from the 2011 EBRI/MGA Consumer Engagement in Health Care Survey, sponsored by EBRI and Matthew Greenwald & Associates. This is up from 2006, when there were 1.3 million accounts with $873.4 million in assets...

The proposed floating bridge solution at Bjrnafjorden in connection with the E39 infrastructure upgrade is an enabler to realize efficient transportation. This and vehicles shuttling on it will be exposed inclement weather conditions. waves wind excite induce compound motion addition aerodynamic crosswinds directly interacting vehicles. Methods introduce complex of (multi-post test rig) a tract...

Taking into account the issues faced by self-driving vehicles in multilane expressway scenarios, a lane-change decision planning framework that considers two adjacent lanes is proposed. Based on this framework, lateral stability of an autonomous vehicle under near-limit conditions during lane change studied phase-plane method. Firstly, state-machine-based driving logic designed and method propo...

INTRODUCTION Our objectives were to examine the activities and circumstances associated with agricultural machine-related rollover fatalities. METHODS We identified agricultural machine rollover fatalities recorded by the Canadian Agricultural Injury Surveillance Program (CAISP) in 1990-2005. We determined sideways and backwards rollovers by year, age and sex of the victims, agricultural seas...

The objective was to develop an Advanced Automatic Crash Notification (AACN) algorithm and evaluate its performance in making optimal occupant triage decisions. The developed AACN algorithm known as the Occupant Transportation Decision Algorithm (OTDA) uses measurements obtainable from vehicle telemetry to predict risk of overall occupant injury and recommend a transportation decision for the o...

In this paper, a novel robust rolling stability control (RSC) based on electronic stability program (ESP) for electric vehicle (EV) is proposed. Since EVs are driven by electric motors, they have the following four remarkable advantages: (1) motor torque generation is quick and accurate; (2) motor torque can be estimated precisely; (3) a motor can be attached to each wheel; and (4) motor can ou...
