INTRODUCTION Every year in the United States, thousands of young children are injured by passenger vehicles in driveways or parking areas. Little is known about risk factors, and incidence rates are difficult to estimate because ascertainment using police collision reports or media sources is incomplete. This study used surveillance at trauma centers to identify incidents and parent interviews ...

Telematics communication technologies and vehicular networks have been identified as key technologies for increasing road safety and transport efficiency. Telematics communication technologies and vehicular networks aim to ensure traffic safety for drivers, provide comfort for passengers and reduce transportation time and fuel consumption. The development of vehicular communication and networki...

Mobility management is one of the most challenging research issues for vehicular networks to support a variety of intelligent transportation system (ITS) applications. The traditional mobility management schemes for Internet and mobile ad hoc network (MANET) cannot meet the requirements of vehicular networks, and the performance degrades severely due to the unique characteristics of vehicular n...

INTRODUCTION An environment in which traffic regulations are not strictly enforced often is characterized by carnage from motor vehicular crashes resulting in severe injuries with unacceptably high mortality. The descriptive demographics and injury characteristics of pedestrian road crash victims presenting to a tertiary medical center in southwestern Nigeria are presented in order to provide b...

Background: Abdominal injuries are increasing globally. The incidence in our environment is increasing because of crime, insurgencies and man-made disasters. Assessing the magnitude will help in proffering measures to reduce the incidence, and also improve management. Therefore, the aim was to determine the pattern of abdominal trauma, aetiology, identify commonly injured organs, as well as eva...

Vehicular nodes can share the information on the move by forming a temporary network. Routing information shared between vehicles is to be stored in a permanent place for the future use. In that case, vehicular cloud concept is used to increase availability of the data more positively. Vehicular information are connected to cloud using internet. It is used to provide anytime access to the user....

During the last decade, the research on vehicular networks has led to the proposal of countless network solutions specifically designed for vehicular environments. Such solutions encompass all network paradigms,with original algorithms and architectures proposed for next-generation roadside cellular access networks, pure vehicular ad hoc networks, and opportunistic disruption-tolerant vehicular...

Mobility management is a challenging research area for vehicular networks to provide a variety of Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) applications. Traditional mobility management schemes for MANET are not applicable to vehicular networks because of their distinguished mobility characteristics. Providing uninterrupted service to the mobile nodes in vehicular networks is a major concern for ...

Vehicular networking has become a significant research area due to its specific features and applications such as standardization, efficient traffic management, road safety and infotainment. Vehicles are expected to carry relatively more communication systems, on board computing facilities, storage and increased sensing power. Hence, several technologies have been deployed to maintain and promo...
