Our understanding of the relationships between genes, brains, and behaviors has changed a lot since the first behavioral mutants were isolated in the fly bottles of the Benzer lab at Caltech (1), but Drosophila is still an excellent model system for studying the neurobiology of behavior. Recent advances provide an unprecedented level of control over fly neural circuits. Efforts are underway to ...

This exploratory study was carried out with the objective to know optical behavior of light-emitting diode (LED) lamps used and temperature reached by electronic components that compose driver (electronic circuit situated inside body LED lamp) responsible convert electrical alternating current from power line direct operate devices. Then, two different experiments were lamps. In first experimen...

The car following model is a key element in driver behavior modeling. A PD controller car-following model is a popular and realistic model. A big problem met in designing driver behavior models is the absence of reliable data from the real traffic. However, experiments using an instrumented vehicle driven in the real world supplied the radar tracking data. This paper first analyzes the desired ...

Drunkenness and/or hypoglycaemia are possible causes of unusual behavior in a person with diabetes. The aim of this study was to demonstrate different methods which were used in two contradictory reviews of experts for retrospective assessment of a patient's condition in the course of a car crash: An insulin-treated driver caused a car accident resulting in injuries to two men. He was accused o...

This paper focuses on developing an analysis framework to study the impact of cell phone treatment (cell phone type and call status) on driver behavior in the presence of a dilemma zone. Specifically, we examine how the treatment influences the driver maneuver decision at the intersection (stop or cross) and the eventual success of the maneuver. For a stop maneuver, success is defined as stoppi...

The purpose of this study was to investigate traffic flow characteristics at off-ramp junctions in Iranian expressways. The study was conducted on the traffic behavior in isolated off-ramp vicinity of 6-lane expressways. The database consisted of traffic flow and traffic speed information extracted from videotapes. The relationship between diverging traffic flow in the right lane of expressway ...

In this paper an imaging system for bus traffic conflict investigation is presented. The system employs geo-referenced stereo sequences and tracking procedure to provide much greater information regarding pre-crash and crash events than what is currently available. The exploitation of the traffic conflict technique potentiality as a surrogate safety measure could constitute an effective tool in...

We proposed an extended car-following approach on evacuation system of micro traffic. It is based on the agent model. Parameter which is owned by the agent is the velocity. We added one driving behavior in the car-following a smart driver. Characteristics of smart driver he has a concern for the distance between his vehicle with the vehicle in front of him so that he will change the speed based...
