background: hazardous chemicals, which give detrimental effect to the central nervous system, are widely used in the vehicle services industry. the use of vibrotactile perception threshold (vpt) as a screening tool for chemical exposure is new in developing country such as malaysia. therefore, this study determined the relationship between vpt and chemical exposure among vehicle service technic...

background: although visual impairment of drivers is a very important risk factor for car accident, a few published papers have explored this issue in iran. this study aims to evaluate the visual fitness of public vehicle drivers in kerman province, southeast of iran. methods: a total of 4,003 public vehicle drivers were examined by one ophthalmologist for visual fitness in kerman province betw...

this paper presents the prediction of vehicle's velocity time series using neural networks. for this purpose, driving data is firstly collected in real world traffic conditions in the city of tehran using advance vehicle location devices installed on private cars. a multi-layer perceptron network is then designed for driving time series forecasting. in addition, the results of this study a...

in this paper, the 1/4 vehicle model have been simulated. the vehicle body acceleration using optimal control has been optimized. the vehicle ride comfort is achieved by using robust control, and it has been compared with optimal control. the active suspension can help the vehicle to have a good dynamic behavioral. in this paper, two degrees of freedom dynamic vibration model of a general vehic...

injuries suffered in vehicle traffic crashes are the leading cause of death among children in many countries. prevention of injuries of children in raod accidents is still a challenge. the present lecture discuss the commonly injuried body regions in children involved in motor and non-motor vehicle traffic crashes. head, ribs and lung are commonly injured body regions among children under 8 yea...

the vehicle driving comfort has become one of the important factors of vehicle quality and receives increasing attention. in this paper, optimal points of vehicle suspension parameters are generated using modified non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (nsga-ii) for pareto optimization of 5-degree of freedom vehicle vibration model considering three conflicting functions simultaneously. in thi...

in this paper an optimal controller is proposed for a self-balancing electrical vehicle called segway pt. this vehicle has one platform and two wheels on the sides and the rider stands on the platform. a handlebar, as a navigator, is attached to the body of segway, with which the rider controls the vehicle. since segway uses electrical energy produced by batteries, resource consumption manageme...

in our country, student transportations’ security and driving accidents statistics for students is one of the major concerns for relevant organizations such as educational organization. in current year, a system, was named sepand, was formed in city taxi driver :::::::union::::::: by educational organization, naja traffic and city taxi driver :::::::union:::::::. in this systems’ plan, basis on...
