The Forest Engineering Research Institute of Canada (FERIC) conducted a study to assess the reliability, effectiveness, and cost of airborne infrared remote sensing, mapping, and analysis systems used in Alberta. Field trials were conducted to develop assessment methods and to facilitate preliminary tests of the hotspot detection capabilities of two airborne infrared remote sensing systems: an ...

Two logistic regression models were used in the comparison of Iowa and U.S. crashes. Of particular interest is the risk of severe injury for male and female drivers within three age groups: middle-age (3554), older (55-74), and elderly (75 and older). Within Iowa, male drivers have a higher risk of severe injury than female drivers (Odds Ratio = 1.15). However, nationally, male drivers have a l...
