epilepsy is a disease with high prevalence, which interferes driving and may lead to car accident this case-control study has been done on 100 epileptic patients and 100 persons as control group, who had history of driving. we gathered our patients with face to face interview and registering their information in special forms which were prepared for this study. there were three times more accid...

background: seat belts have been proven as one of the most successful means of preventing or reducing injuries to occupants of cars during an accident. this paper examines the reasons behind the non-compliance of the seat belt law in malaysia and suggests possible measures to get the percentage of seat belt usage up higher. methods: various databases of articles were searched for seat belt usag...

Enabling a humanoid robot to drive a car, requires the development of a set of basic primitive actions. These include: walking to the vehicle, manually controlling its commands (e.g., ignition, gas pedal and steering), and moving with the whole-body, to ingress/egress the car. In this paper, we present a sensorbased reactive framework for realizing the central part of the complete task, consist...

epilepsy is one of the most prevalent serious neurologic conditions, affect 1 % of the population worldwide. people with epilepsy may feel it's safe to drive when their seizures seem to be under control, but patients with epilepsy were seven times more likely to have a driving accident leading to emergency room care than those without epilepsy. people with seizures had 2.3 times the rate o...

In this paper car driving is considered at the level of human tracking and maneuvering in the context of other traffic. A model analysis revealed the most salient features determining driving performance and safety. Learning car driving is modelled based on a system theoretical approach and based on a neural network approach. The aim of this research is to assess the relative merit of both appr...

To provide reliable and valid findings when evaluating innovative in-car devices in the automotive context highly realistic driving environments are recommended. Nowadays, in-car devices are mostly evaluated due to driving simulator studies followed by real car driving experiments. Driving simulators are characterized by high internal validity, but weak regarding ecological validity. Real car d...
