BACKGROUND Cognitive impairment is prevalent in older adults with heart failure (HF) and associated with reduced functional independence. HF patients appear at risk for reduced driving ability, as past work in other medical samples has shown cognitive dysfunction to be an important contributor to driving performance. The current study examined whether cognitive dysfunction was independently ass...

This paper is about the development of a virtual driving simulation for pedal error study among Malaysian drivers. The project in collaboration with Institute Road Safety (MIROS) and New Car Assessment Program Southeast Asia (ASEAN NCAP) research grant. Instead conducting naturalistic test, will be used current simulator developed this project. Therefore, aim to develop which contain some emerg...

The numerical simulation of a Poiseuille flow in a narrow channel using the molecular dynamics simulation (MDS) is performed. Poiseuille flow of liquid Argon in a nanochannel is simulated by embedding the fluid particles in a uniform force field. Density, velocity and Temperature profiles across the channel are investigated. When particles will be inserted into the flow, it is expected that the...

In this article, an experimental procedure is presented in order to evaluate the role of having HMD oculus and (Eco2 driving simulator) in terms of driving simulation sickness. The driving simulation sickness is investigated with respect to SSQ (simulator sickness questionnaire) and vestibular dynamics (head movements) of the driver participants for a specific driving scenario. The scenario of ...

Against a kind of parallel hybrid electric bus which is demonstrated in a city of China, a simulation model of the parallel hybrid powertrain system is established by referring to parameters of the demonstrating bus. Regarding the Chinese typical city bus driving cycle and the bus driving cycle of Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province as the driving cycles for the simulation, the fuel economy of t...

The effect of recent experience on current behavior has been studied extensively in simple laboratory tasks. We explore the nature of sequential effects in the more naturalistic setting of automobile driving. Driving is a safety-critical task in which delayed response times may have severe consequences. Using a realistic driving simulator, we find significant sequential effects in pedal-press r...
