A 37-year-old diesel mechanic employed by a railroad transportation company died when his loaded utility truck collided with the rear of a semi-trailer on a four-lane interstate highway. The mechanic was driving at highway speed during daylight hours when he failed to stop in time and struck the semi, which was moving slowly in traffic that had backed up due to a car fire two miles downstream. There was severe damage to the mechanic's truck, with underside of the cab and intrusion up to the right rear tires of the trailer ahead. The force of the collision caused a chain reaction, pushing the struck tractor-trailer forward into a second tractor-trailer that had stopped in backed up traffic. Fire and rescue responders arrived from the nearby town located four miles away. The mechanic, who was wearing a safety belt, suffered blunt force trauma as a result of the collision and was pronounced deceased at the scene. He was extricated by mechanical means from the truck cab and was found holding a cell phone. Law enforcement officers' examination of the phone activity revealed the mechanic had exchanged several voice/text messages prior to the crash and was initiating a voice/text message application at the time of the collision. The driver's failure to notice the tractor trailer ahead and stop in time was attributed to texting. Drivers of the other two vehicles were not severely injured.

Future vehicular networks shall enable new classes of services and applications for car-to-car and car-to-roadside communication. The underlying vehicular mobility patterns significantly impact the operation and effectiveness of these services, and hence it is essential to model and characterize such patterns. In this paper, we examine the mobility of vehicles as a function of traffic density of more than 800 locations from six major metropolitan regions around the world. The traffic densities are generated from more than 25 million images and processed using background subtraction algorithm. The resulting vehicular density time series and distributions are then analyzed. It is found using the goodness-of-fit test that the vehicular density distribution follows heavy-tail distributions such as Log-gamma, Loglogistic, and Weibull in over 90of these locations. Moreover, a heavy-tail gives rise to long-range dependence and self-similarity, which we studied by estimating the Hurst exponent (H).

In this paper,based on characteristic analysis of driver training operation,a new approach of information acquisition for driver training is found,which is through extracting acceleration information.The information acquisition device which is under MEMS three-axis acceleration transducer,based on ADXL335 and MCU,can achieve real-time and accurate measurement of vehicles' three-dimensional acceleration.By comparing the change curve of measured acceleration with the related data of good driver,the existing problems will be found out.In this way,the driver training operation can be assessed in a timely way.

VisLab has been pioneering the world of autonomous driving since its early years; in 1998 VisLab organized one of the most innovative experiments for that period: a passenger car was equipped with sensing and actuation devices and was tested with autonomous steering along a 2000+ km on Italian highways

On February 24, 2012, NHTSA released a proposed set of Driver Distraction Guidelines covering original equipment in-vehicle device secondary tasks (where secondary tasks are defined as communications, entertainment, information gathering, and navigation tasks not required to drive) performed by the driver through visual-manual means (meaning the driver looking at a device, manipulating a device-related control with the drivers hand, and watching for visual feedback). These Guidelines will be used to identify secondary tasks that interfere with a driver's ability to safely control a vehicle (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 2012). The NHTSA Guidelines specify multiple test methods with acceptance criteria. While including a total of seven test protocols in its Notice of Proposed Federal Guidelines (NHTSA, 2012), NHTSA indicates that it prefers the following two test protocols and their associated acceptance criteria: Option EGDS: Eye Glance Testing Using a Driving Simulator, and Option OCC: Occlusion Testing. Following an approach set forth by the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers (Alliance) and the growing body of research indicating that eye glance behavior is a prominent indicator of driver distraction, these preferred test protocols focus on eye glance behavior as a method for determining which visual or visual-manual secondary tasks are not acceptable for performance by a driver while operating a vehicle.

The focus of the article was the redesign of an assembly cell in a car manufacturing company. The new design had to include the operations related to the assembly of new roofs without disrupting the throughput rate. The theory-of-constrains framework has been used to propose designs as well as to define the evaluation criteria. The complexity of the system has been studied using a discrete-event simulation model. The traditional scholar steps have been followed to develop a robust decision support simulation system (DSSS).
