The condition of the road infrastructure has severe impacts on the road safety, driving comfort, and on the rolling resistance.
Based on the basic theory of vehicle dynamics, vehicle safety driving model is established.
Best predictor of safety driving is step counts.
While medical conditions have been recognised as a minor contributing factor to road traffic crashes, clinicians and driver licencing agencies need mechanisms for promoting safe mobility for those with age-related illnesses which can impact on driving safety.
Putting the emphasis as much on safety as on driving comfort, the aim of this study was the design of a driver assistance that would ensure a guidance function along a "virtual rail", while any time allowing the driver to take over the controls.
Daimler has also deepened its relationship with Baidu, specifically in R&D efforts focused on safety and autonomous driving.
This finding indicates that the drivers who have been involved in some cell phone-related accidents usually are those who are more likely to underestimate the effect of talking on cell phone on driving safety.
Text messaging has a detrimental effect on safety-critical driving tasks such as lane-keeping, hazard detection, and the detection and appropriate response to traffic signs".
Based on the analysis of these results, implications of cell phone use on driving safety along with some safety countermeasures, such as selective bans and non-cell phone zones, are discussed in the paper.
