Crosswalk markings and the risk of pedestrian-motor vehicle collisions in older pedestrians.
CONTEXT Motor vehicles struck and killed 4739 pedestrians in the United States in the year 2000. Older pedestrians are at especially high risk. OBJECTIVE To determine whether crosswalk markings at urban intersections influence the risk of injury to older pedestrians. DESIGN Case-control study in which the units of study were crossing locations. SETTING Six cities in Washington and Califor...
متن کاملPedestrians Tracking in a Camera Network
With the increase of the number of cameras installed across a video surveillance network, the ability of security staffs to attentively scan all the video feeds actually decreases. Therefore, the need for an intelligent system that operates as a tracking system is vital for security personnel to do their jobs well. Tracking people as they move through a camera network with non-overlapping field...

But around the year 2000, evolutionary biologists began to doubt whether this was the main explanation. Many researchers tried to show this was the case – that is, there was a difference in genetic quality between the extra fathers and the fee...

In the absence of sources of guidance such as a target to walk toward or a guideline to walk along, veering appears to be nearly unavoidable. This phenomenon has long been a matter of both common and scientific curiosity. Why do sighted people tend to walk in circles when they lack vi...
