In response to the increasing demands upon the Accident and Emergency department and supported by changes within the scope of professional practice of the qualified nurse, Accident and Emergency nurses have expanded their role within the multidisciplinary team. The article reviews the development of this expanded role for the nurse within the Accident and Emergency team and discusses its implic...

The identi®cation of the type of accident during the early stages of an accident in a nuclear power plant is crucial for the selection of the appropriate response actions. A plant accident can be identi®ed by its time-dependent patterns, related to the principal variables. The Hidden Markov Model (HMM) can be applied to accident identi®cation, which is a spatial and temporal pattern-recognition...

This paper employs deep learning in detecting the traffic accident from social media data. First, we thoroughly investigate the 1-year over 3 million tweet contents in two metropolitan areas: Northern Virginia and New York City. Our results show that paired tokens can capture the association rules inherent in the accident-related tweets and further increase the accuracy of the traffic accident ...

BACKGROUND Studies have shown a correlation between increased accident rates and levels of deprivation in the community. School accident reporting is one area where an association might be expected. AIMS To investigate differences in primary school accident rates in deprived and more affluent wards, in an area managed by one education authority. METHODS Statistical analysis of accident form...

OBJECTIVE To determine the frequency of use of the terms "accident and emergency" and "emergency medicine" and their derivatives in original articles in the Journal of Accident and Emergency Medicine. METHODS Hand search of all articles in the Journal of Accident and Emergency Medicine from September 1995 to July 2000, categorising the first use of terminology in each original article to desc...

In this paper, a novel real-time video and data capture of vehicle accident is proposed in Intelligent Transportation System (ITS). The proposed scheme solves the problem of huge storage needed for recording vehicle accident in the smart vehicle and in the remote ITS server. It works efficiently with small amount of storage size and guarantee saving accident video in secondary storage. It enabl...

Effective accident management requires the organization of large amounts of information. This information consists of reference information which rarely changes during an accident and decision support information which changes very rapidly. Much of the rapidly changing information is a result of collaboration between accident response personnel. In this paper we discuss accident management syst...

This paper describes development and application of a road accident analysis and visualization package Road Accident View (RAV), which integrated Microcomputer Accident Analysis Package (MAAP) and Geographical Information System (GIS) components. GIS offer an advanced engine to drive, both area-wide and location-oriented investigations. With this system the possibility to raise and solve accide...
