Counterfactual simulations applied to SHRP2 crashes: The effect of driver behavior models on safety benefit estimations of intelligent safety systems.

Accident; analysis and prevention
As the development and deployment of in-vehicle intelligent safety systems (ISS) for crash avoidance and mitigation have rapidly increased in the last decades, the need to evaluate their prospective safety benefits before introduction has never been ...

Does assisted driving behavior lead to safety-critical encounters with unequipped vehicles' drivers?

Accident; analysis and prevention
With Intelligent Transport Systems (e.g., traffic light assistance systems) assisted drivers are able to show driving behavior in anticipation of upcoming traffic situations. In the years to come, the penetration rate of such systems will be low. The...

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...

Zhongguo yi liao qi xie za zhi = Chinese journal of medical instrumentation
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the key points of evaluation on the safety and effectiveness of wearable rehabilitation walking aid robot, then improve its quality control ability.

Pooling knowledge and improving safety for contracted works at a large industrial park.

Work (Reading, Mass.)
BACKGROUND: At a large chemical park maintenance is contracted by the major companies operating the plants to many small firms. The cultural and psychological isolation of contractor workers was recognized a root cause of severe accidents in the rece...

A correlative investigation of simulated occupant motion and accident report in a helicopter crash.

Aviation, space, and environmental medicine
BACKGROUND: In the late 1980's, an Army Apache helicopter crashed during a training mission, resulting in fatal injuries to the rear seat pilot and survivable injuries to the front seat copilot. U.S. Army investigators assessed the aircraft damage an...

PAVE LOW III: interior lighting reconfiguration for night lighting and night vision goggle compatibility.

Aviation, space, and environmental medicine
The PAVE LOW III aircraft is a modified HH-53H helicopter that has a low altitude--below 30.48 m (100 ft)--night/day rescue mission. The desired night flying configuration is for the pilot to wear night vision goggles (NVGs) to fly the aircraft while...
