Safetylit: Engineering, Physics, Structural Soundness and Failurehttp://www.safetylit.org/Welcome to SafetyLit, the online source for recent research about injury prevention.A driving simulator study of driver performance on deceleration lanes. - Calvi A, Benedetto A, De Blasiis MR. Engineering, Physics, Structural Soundness and Failurehttp://www.safetylit.org/citations/index.php?fuseaction=citations.viewdetails&citationIds[]=citjournalarticle_341881_34Deceleration lanes are important because they help drivers transition from high-speed lanes to low-speed ramps. Although they are designed to allow vehicles to depart the freeway safely and efficiently, many studies report high accident rates on exit ramps...Analysis and comparison of predication methods for railway train accidents - Wang Z.

Engineering, Physics, Structural Soundness and Failurehttp://www.safetylit.org/citations/index.php?fuseaction=citations.viewdetails&citationIds[]=citjournalarticle_341867_34OBJECTIVES: To determine discrepancies between knowledge and practice of childhood motor vehicle restraints (CMVRs) and vehicle seating position amongst parents within the province of Nova Scotia. DESIGN: Random telephone survey. SETTING: The Canadian prov...Drivers' comprehension of traffic information on graphical route information panels. - Lai CJ. Engineering, Physics, Structural Soundness and Failurehttp://www.safetylit.org/citations/index.php?fuseaction=citations.viewdetails&citationIds[]=citjournalarticle_341840_34The concept of using signs to display graphical traffic information is now becoming increasingly popular. The main objective of this study was to design and undertake laboratory research to examine whether the content of traffic information displayed on gr...Errors in judging the approach rate of motorcycles in nighttime conditions and the effect of an improved lighting configuration. - Gould M, Poulter DR, Helman S, Wann JP. Engineering, Physics, Structural Soundness and Failurehttp://www.safetylit.org/citations/index.php?fuseaction=citations.viewdetails&citationIds[]=citjournalarticle_341856_34One of the key contributory factors for accident involvement is misjudgment of approach speed (Department for Transport, 2010). Past research has indicated that individuals can use the rate of visual looming in order to the judge time to passage (TTP) of a...Strategies for dealing with resistance to recommendations from accident investigations. - Lundberg J, Rollenhagen C, Hollnagel E, Rankin A. Engineering, Physics, Structural Soundness and Failurehttp://www.safetylit.org/citations/index.php?fuseaction=citations.viewdetails&citationIds[]=citjournalarticle_341853_34Accident investigation reports usually lead to a set of recommendations for change. These recommendations are, however, sometimes resisted for reasons such as various aspects of ethics and power. When accident investigators are aware of this, they use seve...The effects of on-street parking and road environment visual complexity on travel speed and reaction time. - Edquist J, Rudin-Brown CM, Lenne MG. Engineering, Physics, Structural Soundness and Failurehttp://www.safetylit.org/citations/index.php?fuseaction=citations.viewdetails&citationIds[]=citjournalarticle_341816_34On-street parking is associated with elevated crash risk. It is not known how drivers' mental workload and behaviour in the presence of on-street parking contributes to, or fails to reduce, this increased crash risk. On-street parking tends to co-exist wit...The effects of studded tires on fatal crashes with passenger cars and the benefits of electronic stability control (ESC) in Swedish winter driving. - Strandroth J, Rizzi M, Olai M, Lie A, Tingvall C. Engineering, Physics, Structural Soundness and Failurehttp://www.safetylit.org/citations/index.php?fuseaction=citations.viewdetails&citationIds[]=citjournalarticle_341898_34This study set out to examine the effects of studded tires on fatal crashes on roads covered with ice or snow in Sweden and also to investigate the extra benefits of electronic stability control (ESC) during the winter months. Two different studies are pre...
