Knowledge about the causation of accidents in agriculture is insufficient to further reduce the risk for accidents. Since in the literature review tractors were identified as a major source of accident risks in agriculture in the developed countries, case studies were focused to them in order to gain sufficient information on accident causation. The focus of the thesis was defining the problem ...

VANETS is the most popular network which is called Vehicular Ad Hoc Network. The researchers make a lot of work in this network. From the Literature review, VANETs works on the basis of real time system where the vehicles are moving nodes and travel with a very high speed on the roads in the urban areas. There are many security issues like authentication, tunnel attacks, intelligent system appr...
