Human-in-the-loop driving simulation aims to create the illusion of by stimulating driver’s sensory systems in as realistic conditions possible. However, simulators can only produce a subset stimuli that would be available real situation, depending on degree refinement their design. This must carefully chosen because it is crucial for human acceptability. Our focus design physical dynamic (i.e....

The effects of recreational horseback riding therapy (HBRT) on gross motor function in children with cerebral palsy (CP: spastic diplegia, spastic quadriplegia, and spastic hemiplegia) were determined in a blinded study using the Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM). Seventeen participants (nine females, eight males; mean age 9 years 10 months, SE 10 months) served as their own control. Their me...

The existence of a high degree of free riding in Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks is an important threat that should be addressed while designing P2P protocols. In this paper we propose a connection-based solution that will help to reduce the free riding effects on a P2P network and discourage free riding. Our solution includes a novel P2P connection type and an adaptive connection management protoc...

OBJECTIVE The main objective of this study was to analyze and estimate the relations between risky riding behaviors and some personality and sociocognitive variables through structural equation modeling. We focused on two-wheel riding behavior among a sample of 1,028 Italian adolescents at their first driving experience. CONCLUSIONS The main findings confirmed the role of personality in influ...
