Tyre related accidents cause around 5% of the UAE traffic fatalities. All vehicle tyres must be procured, fitted and maintained properly, considering the climate of the UAE. Proper tyre maintenance is an important safety function often neglected. Maintaining proper tyre pressure, observing tyre and vehicle load limits and inspecting tyres for cuts, slashes and other irregularities are important to avoid tyre failure such as tread separation or blowout and flat tyres. Remember, tyres are the only contact between your vehicles and the road and poor tyre Maintenance could result in serious accidents.
Under-inflation/Over-inflation
Lower tyre pressure can create overload on tyres and overheat the tyres resulting in tyre damage. Over inflation causes increased stress to internal materials which can result in premature failure, poor traction and change in vehicle handling/stability.
Check the tyre pressures at least once per month using a reliable or calibrated gauge. The recommended pressures are quoted in the vehicle owner’s manual or on a sticker usually attached to a door frame or fuel cover. Make sure that the pressures are checked when the tyres are “cold”, i.e. driven less than 3 km before the check.
Tyre Wear-Visual Check
The document provides information about tire markings and tread depth. It explains that tire markings indicate the width, aspect ratio, rim diameter, load index, and speed rating of the tire. It also includes a table that shows the tread depth of a tire in millimeters and the corresponding level of wear in percentages, with recommendations for inspection and replacement. The legal minimum tread depth is noted as 1.6mm.
Castrol launched a new grease product called Formula Gel to build its image as a performance leader and capture market share. It conducted a ground sampling activation involving mechanics in 38 cities to introduce Formula Gel and communicate its benefits. The activation involved dramatizing a "breaking news" story about a ball bearing's demise to grab attention, then having the "Formula GelMan" explain how the new grease protects bearings. Mechanics provided positive feedback and signed a petition approving of Castrol after testing Formula Gel. The activation was successful in generating trials and awareness of Formula Gel among mechanics.
Nissan recalled nearly 4 million vehicles due to issues with airbag sensors and Takata airbag inflators. The sensor recall involved vehicles where airbags may not deploy during a crash due to faulty sensors that could fail to detect an occupant. The inflator recall involved airbags that could rupture explosively due to a defective propellant, potentially injuring occupants with metal shrapnel. Both issues could have been prevented with more rigorous testing of sensors under various conditions and use of non-defective propellant materials.
Tire safety precautions and instructions document outlines key guidelines for selecting and using replacement tires safely:
- Always check the vehicle manual for original tire size and load rating requirements that must be equaled or exceeded.
- Inflate tires to the correct pressure and check pressure monthly to prevent tire damage and failure.
- Do not drive on damaged, worn, or overloaded tires as it can cause loss of vehicle control. Replace tires according to wear bar indicators.
- Mixing tire types is dangerous and should be avoided whenever possible. Follow guidelines for rotation, alignment, and storage.

Air bags are meant to save lives. Now a massive recall shows how they sometimes can turn deadly
Forensic Investigator Sal Fariello, whose job is to deconstruct car crashes, has witnessed a catalog of carnage caused by air bags over the past two decades. In his collection, there is a photo of a woman who has been horribly scarred by an inflating air bag. There's an X-ray of a driver's broken wrists snapped in the "fling zone" of an air bag that mashed both arms from a 10-and-2 position into the car's roof. He can cite numerous drivers who suffered torn aortas or lacerated brain stems, all the result of being "punched" by an air bag inflating at 200 m.p.h. (322 km/h). "What's sitting in the front of the steering wheel is an explosive device," explains Fariello, the author of Airbag Injuries: Causation & Federal Regulation. "Nasty, unexpected events can occur."
None have been nastier than the injuries and deaths caused by exploding inflators in air bags made by automotive supplier Takata Corp., based in Tokyo. Its air bags have been blamed for killing five motorists in.

An estimated 64% of all travel today is made within urban environments. By 2050, the total amount of urban kilometres travelled worldwide is expected to triple, with traffic congestion potentially bringing major cities to a standstill. In Singapore, a small island with a population of 5.4 million, there are approximately 1 million cars on the roads. At the same time, roads take up 12% of land space. With the limited land space in Singapore, it is unrealistic to further increase the number of vehicles or add more roads.
To address these challenges, the Singapore government plans to implement an intelligent and adaptable transport system which uses data to empower commuters and adjusts to their needs. Sensor networks are being deployed that collect data from busy areas such as traffic junctions, bus stops and taxi queues, then relay it back to the relevant agencies for analysis through data analytics and real-world applications. Besides transportation systems powered by big data analytics, driverless vehicles are also a major focus so far for the Singapore government. More than six kilometres of public roads have been opened this year for AV trials, currently in use for trials with a small fleet of public self-driving taxis. Various stakeholders are aiming for full-scale commercial autonomous taxi service in 2018 in Singapore.
In this presentation, Dr. Justin will address various aspects of AV technologies, including latest technical developments, opportunities and challenges related to AVs, safety and liability issues, and commercialisation aspects.

Graco recalling nearly 3.8M child car seats
1. Graco recalling nearly 3.8M child car seats
DETROIT -- Graco
is recalling nearly 3.8 million car safety seats
because children can get trapped by
buckles that may not unlatch. But the company has drawn the ire of federal
safety regulators who say the recall should include another 1.8 million
rear-facing car seats designed for infants.
The recall covers 11 models sold from 2009 through 2013 by Graco Children's Products Inc. of
Atlanta. The
National Highway Transportation Safety Administration warned that the problem
could make it "difficult to remove the child
from the restraint, increasing the risk of injury in the event of a vehicle
crash, fire or other emergency."

But NHTSA also criticized Graco in a letter dated Tuesday, saying the
recall improperly excludes infant car
seats with the same buckles. Both the
company and NHTSA have received complaints about stuck buckles on the infant seats, the agency
said.
"Some of these consumers have had
no choice but to resort to the extreme measure of cutting the harness straps to
remove their child from the car seat," the NHTSA letter said.
The agency wants Graco to identify the total number of seats that potentially have the defect and
explain why it is pushing for the smaller recall.
Graco, a division of
Atlanta-based Newell Rubbermaid, told The Associated Press that its tests found
2. that food or beverages can make the harness buckles in the children's seats
sticky and harder to use over time. The
company will send replacement buckles
for free to owners who registered their
seats.
Owners who didn't register their seats
but want free replacement buckles can call
the company's consumer hotline at
800-345-4109 or visit its website.
Rear-facing infant seats aren't being recalled
because infants
don't get food or drinks on their seats,
Graco spokeswoman Ashley Mowrey said.
But Mowrey said Graco will send
replacement buckles to owners of rear-facing infant seats
upon request.
Mowrey said the company has issued
cleaning tips for the buckles, and began sending replacement buckles to owners
last summer. Graco is also sending instructions
for how to replace the buckles and posting a video on its website to show
parents how to replace them.
In documents sent to NHTSA, Graco estimated that less than 1 percent of
the seats involved in the recall have
had buckles that were stuck or difficult to unlatch.
Mowrey said there have been no
reported injuries due to the defect.
3. NHTSA, in documents filed last year,
said it received 80 complaints about the seats.
In one complaint from October of 2011,
a parent wrote that they tried to get a 20-month-old boy out of a My Ride seat,
but the center release button on the buckle couldn't be depressed. The parent
was able to loosen the straps from the rear of the seat enough to free the child.
"My biggest concern is that if this happens during an emergency,
where we need to get him out quickly, we won't be able to without cutting the
belt material," the parent wrote.
Two months before that, a family with
a Graco MyRide 65 car seat told NHTSA that Graco wouldn't replace a sticking buckle on their
car seat, but offered them $40 toward
a replacement seat.
NHTSA does not identify people who
file complaints to the agency, but it posts complaints on its website.

recall from their web site:
