reviews in many countries indicate that drivers often talk on mobile (cell) phones. studies have been done on possible effects of concurrent mobile phone use on driving performance. previous studies have found that phone talking could impairs performance on simulated or instrumented driving tasks, using such measures as reaction time, following distance, and situational awareness. most of these...

In 2010, an accident occurred in Americana-SP, Brazil, involving two trains and one bus on a Grade Crossing, when 10 people died and 17 were injured including workers. This paper aims to analyze the accident using the Model of Analysis and Prevention of Work Accidents (MAPA). The method provides observation of work, interviews and analysis of documents to understand precedents of the event in t...

This paper presents the mathematical modeling and control design procedure of compressor motor an air conditioner using energy from a photovoltaic system combined with power grid in DC microgrid. A comprehensive model considers interconnection cells their associated DC/DC converter, bus, three-phase squirrel-cage induction its driver, bidirectional DC/AC output filter, grid. The state-of-the-ar...

Based on requirements of modern vehicle, invehicle Controller Area Network (CAN) architecture has been implemented. In order to reduce point to point wiring harness in vehicle automation, CAN is suggested as a means for data communication within the vehicle environment. The benefits of CAN bus based network over traditional point to point schemes will offer increased flexibility and expandabili...

System administrators often assume that just by plugging in a Gigabit Ethernet Interface, the system will deliver line rate performance; sadly this is not often the case. The behaviour of various 1 and 10 Gigabit Ethernet Network Interface cards has been investigated using server quality motherboards. The latency, throughput, and the activity on the PCI buses and Gigabit Ethernet links were cho...

To explore the influence of health psychology characteristics bus driver on probability traffic accidents, such as severity unhealthy and negative impulsive personality. Combined with demographic questionnaire, SCL-90 scale, Y-G psychological factors drivers causing accidents were evaluated. The key selected by binary logistic regression analysis are used node variables, Bayesian network struct...

The purpose of this paper is to introduce the reader to the concepts and techniques required to write a device driver for a character class device on the Micro Channel Architecture (MCA) bus in Version 3.xx of IBM's AIX operating system (denoted by just AIX in this document). It attempts to tie together the major pieces of development information dispersed throughout the AIX manuals. It also in...
