This work presents a method of automatically generating embedded software including bus driver code from a transaction level model (TLM). For the application software, a real time operating system (RTOS) adapter is introduced to model scheduling and synchronization at C level. ANSI-C code is generated targeting this RTOS adapter. Bus drivers are also automatically created for HW/SW communicatio...

UNLABELLED Studies carried out by Brainstem Evoked Auditory Potentials (BEAP) in Noise-Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) workers show different results in relation to neuronal involvement, not involving bus drivers as study object. AIM to use BEAP in a prospective case/control clinical study to check whether or not there is neural auditory pathway involvement in bus drivers with NIHL. MATERIALS A...

The aim of this study was to analyse the impacts of real-time feedback on the driving behaviour of bus drivers, and to assess the potential impact of the characteristics of these subjects (age and time working at the company) on such behaviour. Data was collected with an on-board device installed in buses of a Portuguese urban transport operator. Three monitoring periods were considered: an ini...

To evaluate the effects of working with modern insulation materials (rock and glass wool), the members of the Copenhagen Union of Insulation Workers were invited to participate in a study based on a health examination that included lung function tests. Three hundred and forty men (74%) agreed to participate, and 166 bus drivers served as the control group. Age distribution, height, and smoking ...

Aim: to use BEAP in a prospective case/control clinical study to check whether or not there is neural auditory pathway involvement in bus drivers with NIHL. Materials and Methods: w...

BACKGROUND The way the municipal transport drivers perform their job contributes to varied burdens linked with the body posture at work, stress, shift work, vibration, noise and exposure to chemical agents. The aim of the study was to assess the condition of the nervous system (NS) in municipal transport drivers. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study covered 42 men, aged 43.4 years (standard deviati...

OBJECTIVES Road-traffic emissions (RTE) induce adverse health effects, notably respiratory symptoms and respiratory diseases, as a result of pollutants deposited into the respiratory tract. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between occupation groups of Congolese transit workers exposed to RTE, particularly bus conductors and respiratory health, in Kinshasa. METHODS A cross...

Complex interconnects in highly integrated system chips are implemented with the bus structure. From testing point of view, the bus structure system needs more complicated consideration than simple wiring networks since a bus line is received data from many drivers. Therefore, some faults are detected all the time and others are detected only at the particular time. We propose a new interconnec...

OBJECTIVES To study risk of lung cancer among groups of professional drivers probably exposed to different levels of traffic exhaust fumes. METHODS A nationwide case-control study (1970-89) based on employees comprising 28,744 men with primary lung cancer and incidence density sampled matched controls (1:1). Employment histories were reconstructed back to 1964 for each study subject from the ...
