OBJECTIVE The purpose of the study was to explore age differences in attentional demand in response to driving situations of varying complexity within the context of a simulated assessment protocol. It was hypothesized that as road complexity increased, an indicator of attentional demand (i.e., latency to respond to a secondary task) would increase and, independent of the road complexity, older...

safety performance is the overall performance of the organization safety management system in the operational system of safety. in the present study, the components of safety performance included visible management leadership, employee participation, training, inspection, implementation tools, and maintenance. the objectives of this study were to assess safety performance, and to analyze differ...

background and aim: more than 50% of road fatalities occur in the 15 to 44-years old which are the young and active group of the society. one of the effective ways to reduce road accidents is using safety belts. in this study the rate of seat belt use and its associated factors have been estimated in the 15 to 44-years old of kerman. materials and methods: this study was a cross-sectional descr...

Original scientific paper This paper proposes a Neuro-fuzzy system for quantitative assessment of the effects of intelligent transportation systems and technologies on road fatalities. The basic idea in developing Neuro-fuzzy system is the fact that intelligent transportation systems and technologies activate some safety mechanisms and in turn the activation of safety mechanisms will have a pos...

globally around 38 million people die each year as a result of non communicable diseases (ncds) in which 42% (~ 16 million) are premature deaths (below the age of 70). nine voluntary global targets were set by world health organization to control above mentioned premature deaths. iran added 4 more targets to it, including 20% reduction in the mortality rate due to road traffic injuries. the nee...

we are concerned: the number of road traffic fatalities is rising since 2014 again, in germany, in the european ::union::, in the usa, after a continuous decline over the last 40 years. many reasons are discussed:  human behaviour, e.g. texting while driving; no respect for traffic rules; daily life competition, who will be the fastest; more traffic, more vehicles, more kilometres driven. the i...

A series of disasters, from the 2004 Aceh Tsunami to 2009 Padang Earthquake, has changed paradigm urban development in coastal areas Indonesia.
