Background: With an ever-increasing number of vehicles on the road, it is inevitable that drivers will need to call upon an increasing use of sensory and motor skills in order to negotiate safely through traffic. Vision is one of the major senses in human beings, and it is definitely necessary for safe driving. Approximately 95% of the sensory input to the brain required for driving comes from ...

over the past few years, the subculture of exhibitionist car driving has attracted the attention of any social and cultural researchers in our country. these phenomena have been formed in interaction with general social trends. therefore, the study of these phenomena would facilitate a better understanding of these trends and currents. the present paper is an attempt to study the grounds that c...

background: musculoskeletal disorders represent a substantial cause of morbidity worldwide. the contribution of work to these disorders has been well established by various epidemiological and laboratory-based researches. the aim of this study is to investigate the prevalence and associated factors of musculoskeletal disorders in truck drivers. materials and methods: this cross sectional study ...

to determine whether teenagers and young adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (adhd) have more motor vehicle citations and crashes and are more careless drivers than their normal peers. in fact, studies have found that teenagers and adults with attention deficit disorder are nearly twice as likely as the general population to have had their licenses suspended. people with adhd h...

Though fatigue and sleepiness at the wheel are well-known risk factors for traffic accidents, many drivers combine extended driving and sleep deprivation. Fatigue-related accidents occur mainly at night but there is no experimental data available to determine if the duration of prior driving affects driving performance at night. Participants drove in 3 nocturnal driving sessions (3-5 am, 1-5 am...

Changes in drivers, vehicles, and roadways pose substantial challenges to the transportation safety community. Crash records and naturalistic driving data are useful for examining the influence of past or existing technology on drivers, and the associations between risk factors and crashes. However, they are limited because causation cannot be established and technology not yet installed in pro...

The real driving emission (RDE) testing for certification of vehicles is performed in conditions that are well defined legislation. For emissions inventories and research, the influences some extended on an interesting issue. In present work, examples RDE results from two common passenger cars with gasoline diesel propulsion given. varying were “winter/summer”, “mild/aggressive”, “higher altitu...

PURPOSE To comprehensively investigate the types of driving errors and locations that are most problematic for older drivers with glaucoma compared to those without glaucoma using a standardized on-road assessment. METHODS Participants included 75 drivers with glaucoma (mean = 73.2±6.0 years) with mild to moderate field loss (better-eye MD = -1.21 dB; worse-eye MD = -7.75 dB) and 70 age-match...
