Bus driver accident record; stability over time, exposure and culpability

Long-term prediction of traffic accident record from bus driver celeration behavior.

Driver celeration (speed change) behavior of bus drivers measured a number of times was used to predict their culpable accidents over increasing time periods. It was found that predictive power was considerable (>.30 correlation) over 5 years of time with aggregated celeration (mean of repeated measurements) as independent variables, and there were also indications that power reached even furth...

A CMOS Adiabatic Bus-Driver

This paper presents a simple digital system utilizing adiabatic charging principles to achieve low power-consumption. With the same frequency constraints, the Adiabatic Bus-Driver dissipates considerably less energy than standard CMOS approaches, especially for large load capacitances. Some simulation results (e.g. power-saving ratio versus technology) and prototype chip design are presented as...

The Bus-Driver Scheduling Problem

We present new metaheuristics for solving real crew scheduling problems in a public transportation bus company. Since the crews of these companies are drivers, we will designate the problem by the bus-driver scheduling problem. Crew scheduling problems are well known and several mathematical programming based techniques have been proposed to solve them, in particular using the set-covering form...

A Causation of Bus Driver Accidents

THIS book is in the best traditions of the publications supported by the Nuffield Provincial Hospitals Trust in that it is attractively produced, well written and highly topical. Indeed, it is not surprising that the Trust have sponsored this epidemiological study in these days when the human toll exacted by road accidents is a matter of national disquiet. The authors have dealt with the concep...
