the proportion of elderly in the general population is rising, resulting in greater numbers of drivers with neurodegenerative disorders such as alzheimer’s disease (ad) and parkinson’s disease (pd). alzheimer’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder typified by memory impairment with executive dysfunction, motor problems, and/or language difficulties. parkinson’s disease is a progr...

Assessment of road safety performance of countries and their comparison is essential in guiding future decisions. The objective of this study is to search for effective safety pillars in road safety capacity strengthening based on the experiences of the leading countries. In this study, we first try to use the results of a structural equations model with partial least squares approach to select...

alzheimer's disease (ad), a common and debilitating neurodegenerative disorder, affect more than 65 million individuals throughout the world. this disability plays a crucial role in daily activities such as driving. several studies have investigated the relationship between cognitive functions and driving safety. the current study revises the literature on the relation between road safety ...

this study focused on the public transport risk assessment in district one of ​​tehran through fault tree analysis involving the three criteria of human, vehicle and road in haddon matrix. in fact, it examined the factors contributing to the occurrence of road accidents at several urban black spots within district 1. relying on road safety checklists and survey of experts, this study made an ef...

this paper presents a deterministic approach for performance assessment of different province’s road safety level at iran. a data envelopment analysis (dea) model considering undesirable input and output indices and a multivariate statistical method, principle component analysis (pca) are used in this paper, while previous studies do not use composite pca-dea method and undesirable input and ou...

Road safety index is an important indicator that has been recently introduced as a useful tool to measure the quality of life in many countries and cities. Road safety index is a complex index and it has at least three main components, including road user behavior, vehicle safety, and road infrastructure effects. Many researchers have selected studying road performance from road safety index pe...

This paper presents a deterministic approach for performance assessment of different province’s road safety level at Iran. A data envelopment analysis (DEA) model considering undesirable input and output indices and a multivariate statistical method, principle component analysis (PCA) are used in this paper, while previous studies do not use composite PCA-DEA method and undesirable input and ou...

BACKGROUND The process of determining whether patients with stroke should drive again often involves off-road evaluations and road tests that usually take about 2 to 3 h to complete. OBJECTIVES This prospective study sought to identify the combination of tests that best predicts fitness to drive after stroke. The main aim was to develop a short and predictive predriving assessment battery. ...
