Can cyclist safety be improved with intelligent transport systems?

Accident; analysis and prevention
In recent years, Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) have assisted in the decrease of road traffic fatalities, particularly amongst passenger car occupants. Vulnerable Road Users (VRUs) such as pedestrians, cyclists, moped riders and motorcyclists, h...

Evaluating clustering methods within the Artificial Ecosystem Algorithm and their application to bike redistribution in London.

Bio Systems
This paper proposes and evaluates a solution to the truck redistribution problem prominent in London's Santander Cycle scheme. Due to the complexity of this NP-hard combinatorial optimisation problem, no efficient optimisation techniques are known to...

The Athlete's Brain: Cross-Sectional Evidence for Neural Efficiency during Cycling Exercise.

Neural plasticity
The "neural efficiency" hypothesis suggests that experts are characterized by a more efficient cortical function in cognitive tests. Although this hypothesis has been extended to a variety of movement-related tasks within the last years, it is unclea...

Estimating Energy Expenditure With Multiple Models Using Different Wearable Sensors.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
This paper presents an approach to designing a method for the estimation of human energy expenditure (EE). The approach first evaluates different sensors and their combinations. After that, multiple regression models are trained utilizing data from d...

Prediction of activity type in preschool children using machine learning techniques.

Journal of science and medicine in sport
OBJECTIVES: Recent research has shown that machine learning techniques can accurately predict activity classes from accelerometer data in adolescents and adults. The purpose of this study is to develop and test machine learning models for predicting ...

Cyclist crash severity modeling: A hybrid approach of XGBoost-SHAP and random parameters logit with heterogeneity in means and variances.

Journal of safety research
INTRODUCTION: Across the globe, policymakers are focusing on boosting sustainable transport options, notably cycling, to foster eco-friendly urban environments. However, the persistent safety challenges cyclists face continues to hinder these efforts...

The Future of Road Safety: Challenges and Opportunities.

The Milbank quarterly
Policy Points Traditional approaches to addressing motor vehicle crashes are yielding diminishing returns. A comprehensive strategy known as the Safe Systems approach shows promise in both advancing safety and equity and reducing motor vehicle crashe...

Machine Learning in Rehabilitation Assessment for Thermal and Heart Rate Data Processing.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Multimodal signal analysis based on sophisticated noninvasive sensors, efficient communication systems, and machine learning, have a rapidly increasing range of different applications. The present paper is devoted to pattern recognition and the analy...

Objective Assessment of Physical Activity: Classifiers for Public Health.

Medicine and science in sports and exercise
PURPOSE: Walking for health is recommended by health agencies, partly based on epidemiological studies of self-reported behaviors. Accelerometers are now replacing survey data, but it is not clear that intensity-based cut points reflect the behaviors...

Semen profiles of young men involved as bicycle taxi cyclists in Mangochi District, Malawi: A case-control study.

Malawi medical journal : the journal of Medical Association of Malawi
AIM: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the semen profiles of bicycle taxi cyclists and healthy controls in Mangochi district, Malawi.
