Speeding Up Mobile Browsers without Infrastructure Support

This artifact is based on ParallelAccelerator, an embedded domain-specific language (DSL) and compiler for speeding up compute-intensive Julia programs. In particular, Julia code that makes heavy use of aggregate array operations is a good candidate for speeding up with ParallelAccelerator. ParallelAccelerator is a non-invasive DSL that makes as few changes to the host programming model as poss...

INTRODUCTION Speeding is a significant issue for the young drivers of NSW. Despite 17–25 year-old drivers only representing 15% of licence holders during 2007, approximately 40% of all speeding controllers were identified as young drivers [1]. Young male drivers were particularly over-represented, being involved in approximately 25% of all speed-related crashes resulting in casualties; the equi...

Speeding up distributed storage and computing systems using codes

This paper analyzes how subjective experiences of being punished affect subsequent offending behavior. The context of our study is the enforcement of speeding tickets through speeding radars in a suburb of Prague. Using unique data that cover anonymized individual driving and ticketing histories of more than 170,000 car owners over 15 months, we evaluate drivers’ responses to receiving a speedi...

Prior research has highlighted the relationship between speeding and increased frequency and severity of traffic crashes. There is evidence to suggest that police speed enforcement, in particular speed camera operations, can be an effective tool for reducing traffic crashes. This qualitative study used focus groups with Queensland drivers (n=39) to investigate knowledge, support, and impact on ...

Dingus and colleagues recently estimated crash odds ratios (ORs) for “driver behavior errors” (hereafter, “Behaviors”) in the Strategic Highway Research Program Phase 2 naturalistic driving study. Behaviors are illegal, improper, aggressive, and/or reckless driving maneuvers. For example, the Dingus study OR estimate for “Speeding over limit and too fast for conditions,” (hereafter, “Speeding”)...

Past research has showed that mortality salience (MS) increases reckless driving and speeding when the individual perceives driving to be relevant to his or her self-esteem. We claimed that drivers’ control orientations also play a significant role in the relationship between MS and speeding. We hypothesized that both a general desirability of control and traffic locus of control (T-LOC) would ...

Speeding is a significant contributor to the road toll. The risks associated with speeding at high and low levels are well understood, as are a range of speed management programs such as speed limits and speed cameras. Speed surveys have been used to help quantify the population distribution of speeding and to evaluate the impact of road safety interventions, especially since crashes are, stati...

We conduct laboratory experiments to investigate the effects of deterrence mechanisms under controlled conditions. The effect of the expected cost of punishment of an individual’s decision to engage in a proscribed activity and the effect of uncertainty on an individual’s decision to commit a violation are very difficult to observe in field data. We use a roadway speeding framing and find that ...
