Lighter, Quicker, Cheaper Infrastructure for Adaptive Approaches to Community Traffic Calming and Pedestrian Safety ( breakout presentation )

Quicker, Cheaper and Better Thanks to the Net

The impact of the net has become evident in the way companies do business with their customers or suppliers, making transactions easier and creating additional value. However, on very few occasions is the effect these changes have on the way operations are carried out described. For this reason, many companies continue to operate in the traditional manner, without taking advantage of the opport...

Cardiac surgical theatre traffic: time for traffic calming measures?

Surgical site infections (SSIs) remain a significant cause of postoperative complications. The risk of death from a medical error in a UK hospital remains one in 300. Increased theatre traffic has been identified as a modifiable determinant of SSI and surgical error. This cross-sectional study for the first time describes the pattern of theatre traffic in a UK cardiac centre. An electronic door...

Fuzzy Logic Concept for Safety Driven Vehicle-Pedestrian Traffic Interaction

In recent times, it has been discovered that fuzzy logic is an important tool for effective traffic control system. Research on intelligent traffic systems has revealed that the implementation of linguistic variables in fuzzy systems help in taking care of diverse possible decisions that can be taken by humans in traffic control. However, the majority of these works focus on vehicular traffic w...
