during the design and development of truck cabins, the safety of the driver and the front seat passenger in an accident is an important task and should be considered. the cab must be designed in such a way that in an accident a sufficient survival space is guaranteed. the aim of this study is to investigate the behavior of iran khodro (ikco) 2624 truck subjected to a complex crash test accordin...

INTRODUCTION Injuries and fatalities due to large truck and other vehicle crashes have decreased over the last decade, but motor vehicle injuries remain a leading cause of death for both the working and general populations. The present study was undertaken to determine semi truck driver and sleeper berth passenger injury risk in a moving semi truck collision using a matched-pair cohort study. ...

Cleanliness is an important element of customer satisfaction. This study aims to investigate the relationship between cleanliness attributes (product quality, food premise & handlers' cleanliness) towards customers' hygiene An online survey was conducted among 116 customers in Klang Valley. The data were analyzed using SPSS Software version 26. Food premise, cleanliness, and product quality...

ID: 321 It is believed that increasing truck volumes contribute to traffic congestion, pavement deterioration and crashes due to differences in the physical and operational characteristics of trucks and passenger cars. A 2002 US DOT report showed that the number of crashes involving commercial trucks had increased by 40.3% over the last two decades. Based on Insurance Institute for Highway Safe...

background while cyclists and pedestrians are known to be at significant risk for severe injuries when exposed to road traffic accidents (rta) involving trucks, little is known about rta injury risk for truck drivers. objectives the aim of this study was to analyze the injury severity in truck drivers following rtas. patients and methods our local accident research unit prospectively documented...

This paper shows the modeling and simulation of fuel economy and vehicle dynamics of a heavy truck with Modelica. The work was carried out on MWorks, which is developed by Huazhong University of Science & Technology. Comparisons between measured data and simulation results validate the correctness of the model, and demonstrate that Modelica can be used in the modeling and simulation of vehicle ...

This paper describes sensor fusion in the context of an autonomous mobile robot, the NAVLAB system, based on a commercial truck with computer controls and studded with cameras and other sensors. This paper describes the software architecture of the NAVLAB, consisting of two parts: a "whiteboard" system called CODGER that is similar to a blackboard but supports parallelism in the knowledge sourc...

This paper describes an approach towards an adaptive software and system architecture for driver assistance systems (DAS). Rather than assuming a static configuration of electronic control units and software components used in current automotive systems, we propose an architecture approach to handle the diversity arising from dynamically changing software configurations as they will emerge in f...

In this paper, some results concerning the k-truck problem are produced. First, the algorithms and their complexity concerning the off-line k-truck problem are discussed. Following that, a lower bound of competitive ratio for the on-line k-truck problem is given. Based on the Position Maintaining Strategy (PMS), we get some new results which are slightly better than those of [1] for general cas...

BACKGROUND HIV prevention programmes for truck drivers form part of the HIV control efforts, but systematic data on the outputs and cost of providing such services in India are not readily available for further planning and use of resources. METHODS Detailed cost and output data were collected from written records and interviews for 2005-2006 fiscal year using standardized methods at six samp...
