BACKGROUND Child pedestrian road traffic injuries (RTIs) are an important cause of death and disability in poorer nations, however RTI prevention strategies in those countries largely draw upon studies conducted in wealthier countries. This research investigated personal and environmental risk factors for child pedestrian RTIs relevant to an urban, developing world setting. METHODS This is a ...

Introduction Various methods to automate traffic data collection have recently been developed by many researchers. A macroscopic data collection through image processing has been proposed [1]. For microscopic traffic flow data, such as individual speed and time or distance headway, tracking of individual movement is needed. The tracking algorithms for pedestrian or vehicle have been developed t...

In this paper the question of “how much the a priori knowledge of floor plans will assist navigation in challenging indoor environments?” will be investigated. Additionally, the effect of different levels of accuracy of floor plans on the overall estimation process will be studied. In particular, the effect of wrong a priori knowledge of maps and floor plans on navigation accuracy will also be ...

Route choice behaviour is a key factor in determining pedestrian movement flows throughout the urban space. Agent-based modelling, simulation paradigm that allows modelling individual mechanisms to observe emergence of macro-level patterns, has not employed empirical data regarding route cities or accommodated heterogeneity. The aim this paper present an empirically based Agent-Based Model (ABM...
