Driver's behavioural changes with new intelligent transport system interventions at railway level crossings--A driving simulator study.

Accident; analysis and prevention
Improving safety at railway level crossings is an important issue for the Australian transport system. Governments, the rail industry and road organisations have tried a variety of countermeasures for many years to improve railway level crossing safe...

Surgical safety and oncologic effectiveness in robotic versus conventional open thyroidectomy in thyroid cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Annals of surgical oncology
BACKGROUND: Although many experiences using the da Vinci Robot System have been reported by several groups, there is substantial controversy over the role of the robot in thyroidectomy. We performed a systematic review and meta-analyses in order to e...

Ensuring SOTIF: Enhanced object detection techniques for autonomous driving.

Accident; analysis and prevention
Neural networks' insufficient interpretability can lead to unguaranteed Safety of the Intended Functionality (SOTIF) issues when perceptual results are not always met in autonomous driving applications. To address the safety shortcomings in the curre...

A game theoretical model to examine pedestrian behaviour and safety on unsignalised slip lanes using AI-based video analytics.

Accident; analysis and prevention
Left-turn slip lanes, also known as channelised right-turn lanes in right-hand driving countries, are widely implemented to facilitate left-turning at signalised intersections. However, pedestrian safety on slip lanes is not well known. At unsignalis...

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...

Robotic Dispersal Technique for 35 GBq of 140La in an L-polygon Pattern.

Health physics
In 2018, Defence Research and Development Canada, in partnership with Natural Resources Canada, led a field trial of survey and mapping of a large dispersion of radioactivity using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). The intent was to disperse La materi...

Evaluation and Verification of A Novel Wrist Rehabilitation Robot employing Safety-related Mechanism.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
In this paper, we propose a wrist rehabilitation robot employing a novel actuation mechanism composed of electromagnetic clutch, brake, and motor and a safe-related mechanism. The actuation mechanism of the robot can perform both passive and active r...
