Abstract Despite the high risks reflected from annual road traffic casualties, motorcycles remain a popular mode of transport in Malaysia due to economic and ease-of-use factors. Therefore, various parties need play their roles, make proper plans take actions accommodate needs motorcyclists Malaysia. Consequently, some fundamental basis on how interact with environment other drivers was needed....

Poor hazard perception skills have been shown to contribute to novice driver crash involvement. Yet driving and riding differ in terms of hazards, responses and consequences and many novice motorcyclists are experienced drivers. Therefore the extent to which the findings of research into car driver hazard perception and responding are relevant to motorcyclists may be limited. This paper present...

Distributed fault detection in wireless sensor network is an important problem where every sensor node identifies its own fault status based on the information from its neighboring sensor nodes. This paper presents a novel distributed fault detection algorithm to detect the soft faulty sensor nodes in sparse wireless sensor networks. In the proposed scheme, every sensor node gathers the informa...

This paper discusses the application of weighted fuzzy reasoning spiking neural P systems (WFRSN P systems) to fault diagnosis in traction power supply systems (TPSSs) of China high-speed railways. Four types of neurons are considered in WFRSN P systems to make them suitable for expressing status information of protective relays and circuit breakers, and a weighted matrix-based reasoning algori...

BACKGROUND Regrettably motorcyclists frequently suffer related significant injuries. Doctors who manage trauma will encounter victims of motorcycle accidents and many aspects of care are unique to these patients due to the protective and performance enhancing equipment used by motorcyclists. This review examines the patterns of major injuries suffered by motorcyclists, the unique aspects of air...

OBJECTIVE To compare the characteristics of motorcycle accidents and victims attended by pre-hospital care services. METHODS A cross-sectional study was carried out using data on pre-hospital care of motorcyclists who had been injured in traffic accidents in Londrina, PR, Southeastern Brazil, in 2010, whose results were compared with those of a similar study conducted in 1998. Paramedic assis...

BACKGROUND In a prospective study, three research groups at Hannover (H) and Munich (M) in Germany and Glasgow (G) in the United Kingdom collected data from motorcycle crashes between July 1996 and July 1998 to investigate head injury mechanisms in helmet-protected motorcyclists. METHODS The head lesions of motorcyclists with Abbreviated Injury Score-Head (AISHead) 2+ injuries and/or helmet i...

BACKGROUND Crash helmet plays an important role in protecting the deriver's head during crashes and reduces the rate of severe injuries and fatalities. Although it has been proved that wearing the crash helmet can save the deriver's life by around 42%; previous studies showed that the rate of wearing crash helmet has not been acceptable in Iran. Due to the huge number of motorcyclists on the ro...
