An excess actual values social transport risks was established by 1.19 1.38 times corresponding Russian

Ephemeral traffic incidents, such as a fallen tree on road, pose safety hazards, and impact locally traffic. While these incidents are neither predictable nor persistent, their existence is relevant for all vehicles planning to pass by while the continues. This article develops novel communication strategy vehicular ad hoc networks aiming inform affected vehicles, involving only minimum number ...

A prospective study was carried out over the 10 years 1978-87 to determine the incidence and implications of sudden death in road users--that is, drivers, pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists. During the study period 30,000 patients were seen in the same accident and emergency departments of East Berkshire after road traffic incidents or accidents, of whom 267 either were brought in dead or...

BACKGROUND Traffic injuries are an important problem in low income countries. In Uganda road traffic is the largest single cause of injury in Kampala; pedestrians, and children are most affected. Pedestrian injury affects school children in Uganda. OBJECTIVE To determine the overall risk of pedestrian traffic injury among school children in Kawempe, Uganda. METHODS A cohort was assembled at...

Road traffic incidents analysis has shown that a third of them occurs without any conflict which indicates problems with road following. In this paper a driving safety assistance system is introduced, whose aim is to prevent the driver drifting off or running off the road. The road following system is based on a frontal on-board monocular camera. In order to get a high degree of reliability and...

Road intersections have become the places of high road incidents and car collisions. Our hypothesis is that a system can be made aware of dangerous situations at road intersections and warn drivers accordingly. Moreover, over time, the system can learn (or re-learn) such “patterns” of danger for specific intersections given a history of rich collision data collected via sensors (that exist toda...

BACKGROUND As the field of off-road cycling is usually remote areas with limited access to medical care, off-road cyclists are at higher risk of animal attacks and related injuries. CASE PRESENTATION We report two cases of dog attacks in off-road cycling and discuss the basic principles in prevention and management of such incidents. The cyclists received all 5-dose regimen of the rabies vacc...

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can arise from different traumatic incidents, such as war, torture, being kidnapped or held captive, mugging, child abuse, road accidents, train wrecks, plane crashes as well as natural disasters like earthquakes and floods. During each disaster, both victims and rescue workers are vulnerable to physical and psychological trauma that may lead to different f...

This paper describes joint work done by IBM Research (development of the solution) and GrandLyon (assessment of the solution) for real-time incident detection and traffic prediction on an urban road network in the presence of incidents. The detection and prediction methods are integrated and tested in a pilot study on live real-time traffic data in Lyon Metropolis, France. Numerical results and...

We present a novel decentralized and infrastructure-less algorithm to alleviate traffic congestions on road networks and to fill the void left by current algorithms which are either static, centralized, or require infrastructure. The algorithm follows an online approach that seeks stochastic user equilibrium and assigns traffic as it evolves in real time, without prior knowledge of the traffic ...
