Rack Force Estimation for Driving on Uneven Road Surfaces

Glaucoma and Driving: On-Road Driving Characteristics

PURPOSE To comprehensively investigate the types of driving errors and locations that are most problematic for older drivers with glaucoma compared to those without glaucoma using a standardized on-road assessment. METHODS Participants included 75 drivers with glaucoma (mean = 73.2±6.0 years) with mild to moderate field loss (better-eye MD = -1.21 dB; worse-eye MD = -7.75 dB) and 70 age-match...

Knowledge Representation for On-Road Driving

This paper will present a knowledge layer used by a hierarchical on-road driving planner that represents a road network as a discrete set of attributed road states. This knowledge layer facilitates the construction of a planning graph by providing simulation and prediction services to the planning system. These services allow the determination of possible spatial transitions along a road networ...

Driving Force for Nucleation of Multi-Component Gas Hydrate

Based on driving force for crystallization of one-component gas hydrate, in this report an expression for the supersaturation for crystallization of multicomponent gas hydrate is derived. Expressions for the supersaturation are obtained in isothermal and isobaric regimes. The results obtained are applied to the crystallization of hydrates of mixtures of methane plus ethane and can apply to ...

Car driving performance in hemianopia: an on-road driving study.

PURPOSE To study driving performance in people with homonymous hemianopia (HH) assessed in the official on-road test of practical fitness to drive by the Dutch driver's licensing authority (CBR). METHODS Data were collected from a cohort (January 2010-July 2012) of all people with HH following the official relicensure trajectory at Royal Dutch Visio and the CBR in the Netherlands. Driving per...
