Cyclist safety in the digital age: A review of advanced warning technologies.

Accident; analysis and prevention
Improving the safety of cyclists, who are considered vulnerable road users, is essential. Implementing a warning system that alerts cyclists to nearby hazards is an effective method to improve their safety. Nevertheless, the literature needs a compre...

Integrating machine learning and a large language model to construct a domain knowledge graph for reducing the risk of fall-from-height accidents.

Accident; analysis and prevention
Fall-from-height (FFH) accidents remain a major source of workplace injuries and fatalities. Fall protection systems (FPS) are critical for preventing falls in the work-at-height (WAH) environment. However, challenges in designing and selecting effec...

A machine learning approach to quantify effects of geometric design features and traffic control devices on wrong-way driving incidents at partial cloverleaf interchange terminals.

Accident; analysis and prevention
This study addresses the issue of wrong-way driving (WWD) incidents at partial cloverleaf (parclo) interchange terminals in the United States. These incidents are a safety concern, often attributed to geometric design features and inadequate traffic ...

Neural network and layer-wise relevance propagation reveal how ice hockey protective equipment restricts players' motion.

PloS one
Understanding the athlete's movements and the restrictions incurred by protective equipment is crucial for improving the equipment and subsequently, the athlete's performance. The task of equipment improvement is especially challenging in sports incl...

A New Robotic Endoscope Holder for Ear and Sinus Surgery with an Integrated Safety Device.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
In the field of sinus and ear surgery, and more generally in microsurgery, the surgeon is faced with several challenges. The operations are traditionally carried out under binocular loupes, which allows for the surgeon to use both hands for a microin...

COVID-19: The role of artificial intelligence in empowering the healthcare sector and enhancing social distancing measures during a pandemic.

South African medical journal = Suid-Afrikaanse tydskrif vir geneeskunde
Indiscriminatory in its spread, COVID-19 has engulfed communities from all social backgrounds throughout the world. While healthcare professionals work tirelessly testing for the virus and caring for patients, they too have become casualties of the p...

Evaluate driver response to active warning system in level-2 automated vehicles.

Accident; analysis and prevention
As vehicles with automated functions become more prevalent on U.S. roadways, maintaining driver attention while the vehicle is engaged in automation will be an important consideration for safe operation of these vehicles. The objective of this paper ...

AEB effectiveness evaluation based on car-to-cyclist accident reconstructions using video of drive recorder.

Traffic injury prevention
OBJECTIVE: Though autonomous emergency braking (AEB) systems for car-to-cyclist collisions have been under development, an estimate of the benefit of AEB systems based on an analysis of accident data is needed for further enhancing their development....

Market penetration of intersection AEB: Characterizing avoided and residual straight crossing path accidents.

Accident; analysis and prevention
Car occupants account for one third of all junction fatalities in the European Union. Driver warning can reduce intersection accidents by up to 50 percent; adding Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) delivers a reduction of up to 70 percent. However, t...

A trial of retrofitted advisory collision avoidance technology in government fleet vehicles.

Accident; analysis and prevention
In-vehicle collision avoidance technology (CAT) has the potential to prevent crash involvement. In 2015, Transport for New South Wales undertook a trial of a Mobileye 560 CAT system that was installed in 34 government fleet vehicles for a period of s...
