OBJECTIVE To prevent the occurrence of CV events such as MI and stroke among professional drivers in Korea, bus drivers were compared to other occupations through the Framingham risk scoring system (FRS) or metabolic syndrome (MS) of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk assessment methods. METHODS In October 2012, a health examination survey was conducted for 443 male bus drivers in a big city. ...

This study investigated the heat problems that occur during the operation of power batteries, especially thermal runaway, which usually take place in high temperature environments. The study was conducted on a ternary polymer lithium-ion battery. In addition, a lumped parameter thermal model was established to analyze the thermal behavior of the electric bus battery system under the operation c...

<span>In this paper a general overview of the vulnerability CAN bus is presented and practical short-range attack proposed. There are more potential attacks on bus, which may cause leakage information thereby there be danger for safe driving. The combines several techniques, such as how to update node firmware using Bluetooth module inject priority fake frame, in order block legitimate me...

OBJECTIVES The knowledge and attitudes of commercial drivers in Ghana as regards alcohol impaired driving were investigated. This was done in order to provide information that could subsequently be used to develop antidrunk driving social marketing messages built upon the intrinsic values and motivation of these drivers. METHODS Focus group discussions were held with 43 bus and minibus driver...

bus accident is a major health problem for bus drivers.  to identify the risk factors involved in bus accidents and to design a model showing the relation between the risk factors and bus driver’s health status, 219 bus drivers who worked for travel agencies in two areas of west and central iran were enrolled into this study.  we used a questionnaire to gather information regarding both the bus...

Introduction: Sleepiness may predispose drivers to road traffic accidents. Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome is the most common medical cause of sleepiness. Hence increased neck circumference (NC) and obesity are known as obstructive sleep apnea syndrome risk factors. This study was conducted to assess OSAS role in occurrence of road traffic accidents in sleeping drivers of commercial heavy veh...

Constitutional differences between men recruited for driving and non-driving occupations. Earlier studies of busmen have shown that driver recruits differ physically from conductor recruits and these differences are probably constitutional in origin. This was important in relation to the differing ischaemic heart disease experience of drivers and conductors. The present study attempts to confir...

The recognition and prediction of driving pattern is a prerequisite to minimize fuel consumption for plug-in hybrid electric buses with online adaptive energy management strategies. In this work, we present a methodology to develop a driving pattern prediction model from state-of-the-art technologies of cluster, evaluation, and Markov prediction based on the real-world driving speed-time data o...

As a multimodal travel behavior, park and ride includes several trip modes such as car, walking, bus, or railway. And people’s choice of park and ride is influenced by many factors. This paper, based on the park and ride behavior survey in Beijing, will analyze the relationship between the perception of the influencing factors and the behavior intent for park and ride by using structural equati...

A single-chip CMOS optical microspectrometer containing an array of 16 addressable Fabry–Perot (F–P) etalons (each one with different resonance cavity length), photodetectors, and circuits for readout, multiplexing, and driving a serial bus interface has been fabricated in a standard 1.6m CMOS technology (chip area 3 9 4 2 mm). The result is a chip that can operate using only four external conn...
