BACKGROUND As a phased approach to initiating driving, graduated driver licensing restricts driving by young drivers with the aim of reducing crashes. It might increase riding with parents or on buses, which might be safer, or walking or biking, which might be more dangerous. We examined whether it increases nondriver injuries, and whether it reduces total injuries combining drivers and nondriv...

Visually impaired and blind people (VIBP) face great difficulty finding public transport bus stops due to their visual impairments. Over the past decade, several support systems have been prototyped developed address this problem. However, most of these are wearable prototypes that turn out be grueling for them. In project, we propose an AI-powered real-time navigation system provides informati...

Customer satisfaction is determined by the quality of services and desired, so that becomes a top priority for transportation providers. In Jambi City, mass has now been implemented Trans Siginjai Bus. buses are operated to reduce use private vehicles. So operation Bus required be able provide service. order anticipate user dissatisfaction regarding facilities Bus, an analysis needed determine ...

Health concerns associated with Legionnaires' disease have been identified as an area of the increasing public and professional interest. Any natural water or man-made water systems worldwide might be reservoirs of Legionellae. We presented a sporadic, community-acquired case of Legionnaires' disease caused by Legionellapneumophila serogroup 1 in a bus driver who used water for hand and face wa...

Now-a-days, as computerization of automotive increases, the need for more/advanced electronic control units (ECUs) is growing. Vehicles are increasingly behaving like computers with wheels. Due to the abundance use of ECUs in cars, electronic system design is becoming complicated day by day. As a consequence, information processing in such complex systems faces interruptions. Therefore, there i...

This paper presents a rule-based energy management strategy for a plug-in hybrid school bus (PHSB). In order to verify the effectiveness and rationality of the proposed energy management strategy, the powertrain and control models were built with MATLAB/Simulink. The PHSB powertrain model includes an engine model, ISG (integrated started and generator) model, drive motor model, power battery pa...

OBJECTIVE To observe pupil behaviour on school buses in Israel and identify hazards as a basis for improving school bus safety. METHODS Data on student, bus driver and chaperone behaviours and on hazards associated with school buses, bus loading zones and bus stops were collected during an observational study conducted on school buses in rural communities in Israel. This report focuses on obs...

Accessing custom hardware peripherals from a soft-CPU realized on FPGA fabric is a common task. We use a Virtex-5 FPGA with a MicroBlaze soft-CPU running a standard Linux kernel as the core of our embedded system. In order to enable processes on the Linux system to communicate with custom peripherals on the FPGA a device driver is implemented to take advantage of the fast simplex link (FSL) bus...

In deep-submicron technologies the primary component of delay is shifting from logic gates to the interconnect network. Buses can no longer be considered as a set of independent lines that don’t interact. A more appropriate model would treat the bus as a distributed system, where a transition on a line would affect adjacent lines as well. However, the transitions on the buses can be grouped int...

We consider the multi-level bottleneck assignment problem (MBA). This problem is described in the recent book “Assignment Problems” by Burkard et al. (2009) on pages 188 189. One of the applications described there concerns bus driver scheduling. We view the problem as a special case of a bottleneck m-dimensional multi-index assignment problem. We give approximation algorithms and inapproximabi...
