Annually, more than 1 million people were killed in road traffic accidents worldwide every year and an uncounted number were severe injured. In 2012 fatal injuries caused by road traffic accidents are under the top ten lists of causes of death in the world. It´s expected that in the near future road traffic accidents become one of the main causes of death in the world. Most of these fatal injur...

A Vehicular Ad Hoc network (VANET) is an emerging technology among the scholars and vehicular industries in recent years. The wireless collision Avoidance (CA) system sends early message to drivers before they reach accident zone on the road. This paper proposed an analytical model for warning messages through collision avoidance (CA) system. Use the Dichotomized head way model, the Braking mod...

Road intersections have become the places of high road incidents and car collisions. Our hypothesis is that a system can be made aware of dangerous situations at road intersections and warn drivers accordingly. Moreover, over time, the system can learn (or re-learn) such “patterns” of danger for specific intersections given a history of rich collision data collected via sensors (that exist toda...

The presented system takes the advantage of information-communication technology, ICT and introduces wireless networks’ methodology into vehicles and road infrastructure for a significant enhancement of road traffic safety. Warning signals are transmitted to the back of column of vehicles and it enables the distant drivers to stop in time or to make such operation automatically. Largescale simu...

objectives this study aimed to measure road traffic fatality rates and years of lost life, and also to depict a view of trends in road traffic deaths from 2004 to 2010 in yazd city, a province in central iran. materials and methods this retrospective case study analyzed road traffic deaths that were classified under the v01 - v99 codes of the icd-10 in yazd province from march 2004 to march 201...

Objective: The rate of road traffic accidents in Iran per capita and for the number of vehicles is much higher than the average in the world. The present study was conducted to investigate road traffic accidents in Yazd province during 2011-2015.Methods: The present study is a descriptive-analytic study in which data were obtained from data collection forms related to deaths from driving ...

the police are competent and always present contact persons who have direct knowledge and experience and act as role models in the area of road traffic. one of the focuses of police work is to increase tolerance and consideration, especially for more vulnerable road users. the priorities of the police are geared at emphasizing how relevant and appropriate the decisions made by road traffic auth...

background and aims: traffic crashes are multi-factorial consequences caused by human factors, technical issues and environmental conditions. the present study aimed to determine epidemiology of urban traffic injuries in iran and role of some human risk factors in occurrence of such outcomes in 2010. materials and methods: through a descriptive cross-sectional study, the records of 515205 injur...

road traffic accident (rta) is a global burden of disease. more than 1.25 million people per year are killed by rtas. more than half of the fatalities strike vulnerable road users (e. g. pedestrians, skaters, cyclists and other non-protected road users). the ongoing challenge is to protect vulnerable road users (vru). as a vru is neither shielded by seatbelts or crumple zones nor by airbags, th...
