,4bswct: Recently. many algorithms have been developed for airbag system to reduce head injury during the crash. Most of these algorithms are based on a single-point electronic accelerometer placed in the passenger compartment. This accelerometer is expected to overcome the limitations of the current distributed mechanical sensors which is costly and ineffective to trigger the airbag on time fo...

The incidence and treatment of sternal fractures among traffic accidents are of increasing importance to ensure best possible outcomes. Analysis of technical indicators of the collision, preclinical and clinical data of patients with sternal fractures from 1985-2004 among 42,055 injured patients were assessed by an Accident Research Unit. Two time groups were categorized: 1985-1994 (A) vs. 1995...

INTRODUCTION We examined the accuracy of research participant characterizations of motor vehicle collisions (MVC). METHODS We conducted an emergency department-based prospective study of adults presenting for care after experiencing an MVC. Study participants completed a structured clinical interview that assessed the number of lanes of the road where the collision took place, vehicle type, r...

Providing new generations of airbags with reliable information about the vehicle inner space occupancy in order to minimize inappropriate inflation is a real challenge. Within this paper 2 techniques to rebuilt the 3D cockpit scene, are presented; beside the well-known stereoscopic vision principles, 3D reconstruction based on matricial sensor combined with an infrared structured light emitter ...

As demand for bicycles increases, bicycle-related accidents are on the rise. There many items such as helmets and racing suits bicycles, but people do not wear even if they most basic safety protection. To protect rider from accidents, technology is needed to measure rider’s motion condition in real time, determine whether an accident has occurred, cope with accident. This paper describes artif...
