This paper reports on a study that formed part of a Europe-wide investigation of the impact drugs, medications and medical conditions have on road safety (the IMMORTAL project) (Impaired Motorists, Methods of Roadside Testing and Assessment for Licensing). This larger research programme is investigating the accident risk associated with different forms of driver impairment and the implication f...

ABSTRACT – Inter-vehicle and vehicle to roadside communication (V2X communication) allow both passenger safety and driving comfort to be improved significantly. For example, a vehicle detecting an icy road could inform following vehicles and thereby prevent accidents. Vehicle to roadside communication could be used near construction sites to warn the vehicle driver about reduced number of lanes...

Background: Haematotoxicity occurs following acute and chronic low dose exposures to lead. This study aimed to assess the association between occupational lead exposure and haematological parameters among roadside and organized panel beaters in Enugu Metropolis, Nigeria, 2018-19.  Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional and analytical study of 428 roadside and organized panel beaters...

The vehicular ad hoc network, combined with the distribution of roadside units (RSUs), play a significant role in reducing accidents and traffic jams by sending warning emergency messages to drivers real-time. However, communication is not always available owing lack RSUs, reliability data access control, avoid such problems we have proposed new strategy for deployment least possible number RSU...

background: gasoline station workers are exposed to volatile organic compounds such as benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene (btex). objectives: to determine the level of exposure to btex compounds among gasoline station workers and measure the roadside concentrations of these compounds in the inner and outer areas of bangkok, thailand. methods: 49 workers at 6 gasoline stations in the inne...

foliar surface of plants is continuously exposed to the surrounding atmosphere and is, therefore, the main receptor of particulate pollutants. this physical trait can be used to determine the level of particulate pollution in the surroundings, as well as the ability of individual plant species to intercept and mitigate particulate pollutants. in the present study, leaf cuticle characters of fou...

this paper discusses the importance of environmental aesthetics and scenic beauty of currentroadside vegetation in the highways, and the necessity for the contribution of users (motorists) preferences inthe integration of scenic beauty of roadside vegetation into its management plans. the results of a questionnairesurvey of motorist’s opinion on the landscape aesthetics and quality of some high...

Abstract The generation of the pseudonym in vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) usually requires participation a trusted center (TA), and it needs multiple interactions with TA. To address these problems, we propose novel traceable self-generated based on non-interactive zero-knowledge proof (NIZK) consortium blockchain VANETs. In our scheme, pseudonyms method is introduced to eliminate excessiv...

BACKGROUND Roadside pedestrian injuries represent a significant portion of trauma team activations, especially at urban trauma centers. Patient demographics and severity of injury vary greatly in this patient population. Herein, we hypothesize that injury patterns may be predictable, especially with respect to age. MATERIALS AND METHODS All patients with roadside pedestrian injuries evaluated...

4 To improve the quality of wireless communication and extend the application of emerging net5 working paradigms in Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs), we design a hybrid routing scheme 6 for VANETs, called HRV. It presents a holistic solution for inter-vehicle, vehicle-to-roadside, 7 and inter-roadside communications in hybrid urban networks. The combination of roadside unit 8 (RSU) resources ...
