Road injuries are the second-leading cause of disease and injury Background: in the Andean region of South America. Adequate management of road traffic crash victims is important to prevent and reduce deaths and serious long-term injuries. To evaluate the promptness of health care services provided to Objective: those injured in road traffic incidents (RTIs) and the satisfaction with those serv...

Heavy vehicle-train collisions have the potential to be catastrophic in terms of fatalities, environmental disaster, delays in the rail network, and extensive damage to property. Heavy vehicles, such as 'Road Trains' and 'B-Doubles', are vulnerable road users due to their size and mass and require specific risk management solutions. The present study aimed to capture the experiences of heavy ve...

Advanced urban traffic control systems are often based on feed-back algorithms. They use road traffic data which has been gathered from a couple of minutes to several years. For instance, current traffic control systems often operate on the basis of adaptive green phases and flexible co-ordination in road (sub) networks based on measured traffic conditions. However, these approaches are still n...

The paper appraised the emanating effect of COVID-19 on sustainable development goals (SDGs) in Nigeria through systematic illustration prevailing incidents. It was affirmed that preoccupation with cases caused many other critical socioeconomic issues (like education, infrastructure development, and employment) to suffer a state negligence or be overlooked. Like developing countries, could beco...

Background Road traffic accidents are commonly encountered incidents that can cause high-intensity injuries to the victims and have direct impacts on the members of the society. Iran has one of the highest incident rates of road traffic accidents. The objective of this study was to model the patterns of road traffic accidents leading to injury in Kurdistan province, Iran. Methods A time-serie...

ideo analysis has become a rather common tool for data collection in traffic. Various instruments based on the technique, such as traffic counters, systems for detection of incidents (congestion, stand-still, appearance of a physical obstacle on the road, abnormal behavior such as driving in the wrong direction), or vehicle identification (license plate readers) are available on the market, or ...

In transportation networks, it is more useful to think of costs on links as travel times as opposed to distances. Furthermore, while distances are usually constant, deterministic values, between nodes, travel times often vary substantially, as a result of incidents, road conditions, weather, traffic volume and drivers' preferences, among others. Recent research has developed a variety of algori...

Objective This is a retrospective study of trauma cases from January 2007-December 2009 (212 patients) to determine the incidence of gender, age, alcohol influence, mode of injury, time of injury, nature of injuries, hospital stay and to suggest preventive methods. Methods This is a retrospective study of trauma cases from January 2007-December 2009 (212 patients). After obtaining permission fr...
