Pedestrian crossing location influences injury severity in urban areas.
BACKGROUND Pedestrian incidents represent an increasing proportion of serious injuries resulting from motor vehicle collisions in Canada. However, few studies have examined the effect of pedestrian crossing location in urban areas on injury severity. The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between pedestrian-motor vehicle collision injury severity and crossing location. ...
متن کاملThe Flight of Birds
In a previous paper (Brown, 1948), the movements of the wing of a pigeon in slow flight were analysed. With the help of a new photographic technique further work on the flight movements at different forward velocities has been carried out. In this paper the analysis is extended with additional information obtained from normal cine-photography. Certain improvements and simplifications in the fla...
متن کاملA review of flight-initiation distances and their application to managing disturbance to Australian birds
Disturbance – the response of birds to a stimulus such as the presence of a person – is considered a conservation threat for some Australian birds. The distance at which a bird flees from perceived danger is defined as the flight-initiation distance (FID), and could be used to designate separation distances between birds and stimuli that might cause disturbance. We review theknownFIDs forAustra...
متن کاملSocial Distances Model of Pedestrian Dynamics
The knowledge of phenomena connected with pedestrian dynamics is desired in the process of developing public facilities. Nowadays, there is a necessity of creating various models which take into consideration the microscopic scale of simulation. The presented model describes pedestrian dynamics in a certain limited area in the framework of inhomogeneous, asynchronous Cellular Automata. The pede...
متن کاملAmerican Exceptionalism: Population Trends and Flight Initiation Distances in Birds from Three Continents
BACKGROUND All organisms may be affected by humans' increasing impact on Earth, but there are many potential drivers of population trends and the relative importance of each remains largely unknown. The causes of spatial patterns in population trends and their relationship with animal responses to human proximity are even less known. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDING We investigated the relations...
