Abstract. Due to the flammable, explosive, corrosive, radioactive and other characteristics of dangerous goods, if a traffic accident or leakage occurs during transportation, it will seriously endanger public safety people's lives property. It is great significance for urban stability establish risk early warning mechanism, ensure safe transportation formulate emergency rescue measures. In view...

Over an 11-month period a study was made of all patients presenting to an accident and emergency department who had sustained whiplash as a result of rear-bumper impacts. The patients were analysed with respect to the presence of head-restraints in their vehicles. A significant increase in the incidence of whiplash was found in patients whose vehicles did not have head-restraints fitted. Legisl...

Vehicles growth leads to a big problem over the world including in crowded cities. The Intelligent traffic control algorithm is implemented to introduce many parameters, such as the crowded roads, the emergency vehicles and the intersection of roads. Intelligent cameras are connected for capturing real-time traffic flow images of each direction. The control system can automatically adjust the t...

This article focuses on data aggregation in vehicular ad hoc networks. In such networks, sensor data are usually produced and exchanged between vehicles in order to warn or inform the drivers when an event is detected (e.g., accident, emergency braking, parking space released, vehicle with non-functioning brake lights, etc.). In the following, we present a solution to aggregate and store these ...

Disasters like terrorist attacks, earthquakes, hurricanes, and volcano eruptions are usually unpredictable events that affect a high number of people. We propose an approach that could be used as a decision support tool for a post-disaster response that allows the assignment of victims to hospitals and organizes their transportation via emergency vehicles. By exploiting the synergy between Mixe...

We address the problem of dynamic ambulance repositioning, in which the goal is to minimize the expected fraction of late arrivals. The decisions on how to redeploy the vehicles have to be made in real time, and may take into account the status of all other vehicles and accidents. This is generally considered a difficult problem, especially in urban areas, and exact solution methods quickly bec...

Emergency-vehicle drivers who aim to reach their destinations through the fastest possible routes cannot rely solely on expected average travel times. Instead, the drivers should combine this travel-time information with the characteristics of data variation and then select the best or optimal route. The problem can be formulated on a graph in which the origin point and destination point are gi...
