Naturalistic driving study data applied to road infrastructure: A systematic review Open
Encouraged by the adaptability of the identified methods, NDS research has the potential to benefit from the consideration of road infrastructure factors in a Safe System context. The analytical requirements for all components of the Safe …
UNDERSTANDING TRANSPORT NEEDS OF OLDER AUSTRALIAN DRIVERS: SUSTAINABLE AND SMART INITIATIVES FOR SAFE MOBILITY Open
Access to adequate and appropriate transport options enables older people to continue as thriving community participants, to reach services and to maintain social connections. While transport needs are diverse, and tend to change over time…
Factors influencing behavioral intentions to use conditionally automated vehicles Open
These findings suggest a need for targeted programs to enhance perceived usefulness and trust while addressing security and privacy concerns, ultimately contributing to safer road systems through the adoption of conditionally automated veh…
The role of safety in modal choice and shift: A transport users’ perspective in Australia Open
Objective: This study explored the perspectives of transport users about the role of safety in modal choice and shift and the use of safer modes of public transport. Methods: An online survey explored current modal choice and potential mod…
Insights Into Wire Rope Safety Barrier Crashes Based on Police-Reported Statistics and Narratives Open
Wire rope safety barrier (WRSB) is known to be highly effective in reducing the severity of off-road or off-path crashes, however fatal and serious injury outcomes still occur in a small percentage of WRSB-involved crashes. Yet, there is l…
Assessing bicycle-vehicle conflicts at urban intersections utilizing a VR integrated simulation approach Open
Animosity between drivers and cyclists has existed on urban road networks for many years. Conflicts between these two groups of road users are exceptionally high in the shared right-of-way environments. Benchmarking methods of conflict ass…
The role of safety in modal choice and shift: A transport expert perspective in the state of Victoria (Australia) Open
Background Previous research showed differences in the exposure to risk from using different modes of transport and that modal choice can significantly impact road safety outcomes. Though, a modal shift to a safer mode is not commonly disc…
Using the correlation dimension for the detection of faults in rolling element bearings Open
During the last fifteen years, predictive maintenance has become increasingly recognised as a more cost-effective alternative to conventional run-to-failure and fixed-time-replacement maintenance strategies. One of the key components of a…
Restraint Use for Child Occupants in Dubai, United Arab Emirates Open
The overall objective of the current study was to investigate the behaviours and knowledge of parents/carers in relation to safe child occupant travel in the Emirate of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). A community survey was comple…
Understanding Current and Future Transport Needs of Older Australian Drivers to Guide Development of Sustainable and Smart Initiatives to Support Safe Mobility of Older Adults Open
Access to adequate and appropriate transport options enables older people to continue as thriving community participants, to reach services and to maintain social connections. While transport needs are diverse, and tend to change over time…
Utilising Human Crash Tolerance to Design an Interim and Ultimate Safe System for Road Safety Open
Many jurisdictions globally have adopted a zero road trauma target by 2050 and an interim target of a 50% reduction by 2030. The objective of this study was to investigate what the road system will need to look like in order to achieve the…
Intentions and willingness to engage in risky driving behaviour among high school adolescents: evaluating the bstreetsmart road safety program Open
Objective investigate the impact of a road-safety program on adolescent willingness to engage in risky behaviour as probationary drivers, adjusted for covariates of interest. Method b streetsmart is a road-safety program delivered to aroun…
Fatal and Serious Injury Rates for Different Travel Modes in Victoria, Australia Open
While absolute injury numbers are widely used as a road safety indicator, they do not fully account for the likelihood of an injury given a certain level of exposure. Adjusting crash and injury rates for travel exposure can measure the mag…
Parents’ Willingness to Allow Their Unaccompanied Children to Use Emerging and Future Travel Modes Open
This study investigated parents’ willingness to allow their unaccompanied child(ren) to use emerging and future travel modes (e.g., rideshare vehicles and automated vehicles). An online survey was completed by 631 Australian respondents (M…
Development and application of a vehicle safety rating score for public transport minibuses Open
Minibuses are widely used for public transport, particularly in developing countries, yet their safety levels are often poor. This study identified a simple set of active and passive safety measures and 566 minibuses in the United Arab Emi…
Understanding users’ characteristics in the selection of vehicle seating configurations and positions in fully automated vehicles Open
To understand which users’ characteristics influence their preferences in the selection of vehicle seating configurations and positions across different traveling scenarios involving a fully automated vehicle (FAV). Participants (n = 730) …
Motor primitives are determined in early development and are then robustly conserved into adulthood Open
Significance We show that major differences in postnatal experience and development do not impact the fundamental deep structure of motor primitives generated in the spinal cords of mammals. We show that the availability of core synergy st…
