METHODS: Survivors were contacted by mail and telephone. Individuals consenting to participate in the study underwen...Transportation Issueshttp://www.safetylit.org/citations/index.php?fuseaction=citations.viewdetails&citationIds[]=citjournalarticle_183512_19This paper presents manageable, mathematical models of a vehicle occupant and a belt restraint system. These low-order models are relevant in the development of controlled restraint systems, which aim at lowering injury criteria by real-time control of the...Transportation Issueshttp://www.safetylit.org/citations/index.php?fuseaction=citations.viewdetails&citationIds[]=citjournalarticle_183513_19This paper describes in detail the comparison of structural responses and their effect on occupant responses between the moving deformable barrier and oblique pole test modes, including the test protocol, dummies and injury metrics. The temporal sequence o...Transportation Issueshttp://www.safetylit.org/citations/index.php?fuseaction=citations.viewdetails&citationIds[]=citjournalarticle_184115_19To design comprehensive traffic safety measures, the risk of the occurrence of traffic accidents must be objectively evaluated. It is difficult, however, to evaluate the effects of traffic measures in terms of the change in the number of traffic accidents,...Transportation Issueshttp://www.safetylit.org/citations/index.php?fuseaction=citations.viewdetails&citationIds[]=citjournalarticle_184616_19OBJECTIVE: We sought to evaluate the performance of the Prehospital Index (PHI), the high velocity impact (HVI) criterion and emergency medical technician (EMT) judgment for the prehospital triage of injured patients. METHODS: The study population included...Transportation Issueshttp://www.safetylit.org/citations/index.php?fuseaction=citations.viewdetails&citationIds[]=citjournalarticle_184710_19Objective: The study aims at examining factors associated with driving status and self-reported driving difficulty, with particular attention to vision and cognitive impairment.
