In this paper we develop a simulation model to evaluate a real-time Emergency Medical Service (EMS) vehicle response system that uses real-time travel time information and assists the emergency vehicle dispatchers in assigning response vehicles and guiding those vehicles through non-congested routes. Different response strategies are evaluated using this simulation model. These include the Firs...

Introduction: According to the report of the World Health Organization represent-ative in Iran and expressing regret over the increasing and cautionary trend of injuries and deaths due to traffic accidents, road casualties in this country have been increasing since 2017, and they are among the five most important causes of death in Iran. Therefore, the present study aimed to locate the emergenc...

PURPOSE To investigate the occurrence and types of motor vehicle accident eye trauma in north Israel. METHODS The records between the years 2007-2011 of the Ophthalmology Emergency Room of one medical center were searched.

In developing nations like India, the development of population and number cars has increased traffic congestion accidents. However, by identifying crowded locations enhancing flow, a smart control system that makes use RFID sensors ability to alleviate these problems. By giving emergency vehicles precedence, this approach also it possible for them get their destination quickly. Drivers can gai...

In this paper, this paper seeks an answer to the question: can a vehicle automatically report to the emergency units its position and speed when an accident is occurred? It presents an approach that relates to an accident detection and prevention system. It is particularly related to a system that sends a message to designated parties (such as vehicle owner and emergency helpers) when a certain...

As technology has been improved by many changes and inventions are made almost every day. Traumatic events come in many different ways at many different times of one’s life. Recent trends on the advantage of communication technologies in case of emergency situations supported by artificial intelligence systems (AIS) which are capable to take automatic decisions. To improve the assistance time o...

Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) have been a research focus in recent years. VANET’s applications are mostly applied to the road safety and reduce the traffic accident earlier. Moreover, use VANET system can also help the emergency vehicles go to accident location as soon as possible. Therefore how to protect the transmission message is important. We propose a secure emergency vehicle transmi...

In 2009 the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that there were 33 million licensed drivers 65 years and older in the U.S. This represents a 23 percent increase from 1999, a number that is predicted to double by 2030. Although motor vehicle collisions related to emergency department visits for older adults are lower per capita than for younger adults, the older-adults MVCs requi...
