Telematics services include automatic location tracking for emergency rescue, which is available for use in case of a car accident due to falling off roadways. This paper presents a simulation study on how far a car will fall before it hits the ground if it drops off of a roadway due to an accident or a natural disaster. The greatest horizontal distance the falling car can travel is presented i...

This study aimed to investigate the correlation of different impact conditions to the injury severity and impact biomechanics of pedestrians in real world accidents, and study the tolerance level with focus on head-brain of adults and children via indepth analysis and reconstructions of real world accidents. For this purpose, 188 pedestrian accident cases were selected from existing accident da...

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...

— Based on requirements of modern vehicle, in-vehicle Controller Area Network (CAN) architecture has been implemented. In order to reduce point to point wiring harness in vehicle automation, CAN is suggested as a means for data communication within the vehicle environment. The benefits of CAN bus based network over traditional point to point schemes will offer increased flexibility and expandab...

BACKGROUND/AIMS The objective of our study was to estimate the incidence of posttraumatic dissections of cervical arteries in patients with whiplash injury acquired in a car accident. METHODS AND PATIENTS We performed a retrospective analysis of medical records of 500 patients with whiplash injury acquired in car accidents between 1996 and 2005 and searched for dissections of cervical arterie...

Accident data shows that the vast majority of pedestrian accidents involve a passenger car. A refined method for estimating the potential effectiveness of a technology designed to support the car driver in mitigating or avoiding pedestrian accidents is presented. The basis of the benefit prediction method consists of accident scenario information for pedestrian-passenger car accidents from GIDA...
