This document summarizes a study conducted by TRL that assessed the potential for vehicle safety standards to prevent traffic deaths and injuries in Latin America. The study estimated that adopting minimum UN vehicle safety regulations could prevent between 14,000 and 40,000 car occupant fatalities in Latin America by 2030. It also concluded that the economic benefit of preventing these casualties could be up to $143 billion USD. The study recommends that Latin American countries urgently adopt and enforce UN regulations on occupant protection and electronic stability control to help reduce the number of preventable traffic deaths.
This document discusses different types of traffic signs and signals used to regulate traffic and ensure safety. It describes warning signs that indicate potential hazards, priority signs that establish right-of-way, and prohibitory/restrictive signs banning certain maneuvers. It also covers mandatory signs that require specific traffic behavior, service signs providing information to drivers, and directional signs indicating locations and destinations. Proper use and placement of traffic signs and signals can help reduce accidents by clearly conveying important safety and navigation information to road users.
Speed Limits and Road Safety: Examples of Questions to Ask to Ensure the Safe...Barry Wellar
The topic of speed limits and road safety has been around since the advent of the automobile and the topic still brings heated debate, usually along the lines of increasing speed limits to accommodate private motor vehicle operators. In these remarks for a panel discussion at the Ottawa Centre Community Summit on Speed Limits and Road Safety, I present a total of 20 questions which I believe provide a considerable amount of thought for citizens, community associations, advocacy groups, public interest groups, elected and appointed government officials, lawyers, academics, and others who seek actionable suggestions on how to ensure that whatever decisions are made about speed limits and road safety, those decisions have all due regard for the safety of pedestrians, and especially children, persons with disabilities, and seniors, who are among the most vulnerable of road users.
This document provides tips and information for driving safely on campus. It discusses yielding to pedestrians, watching for unpredictable crossings, and paying attention near buses. Simple rules are outlined like following the 15 MPH speed limit and not being distracted by phones. The dangers of texting while driving are explained. Defensive driving involves having knowledge of traffic laws and routes, anticipating problems based on time and weather, and using good judgement like wearing seat belts. Accident reporting procedures and consequences for violations are also covered.
- JNCAP is aiming to enhance vehicle safety regulations and assessments in Japan.
- For pedestrian protection tests in 2016, the impact speed will increase to 40km/h and evaluation criteria will become more stringent.
- For preventive safety assessments in 2016, AEB testing will be expanded to include pedestrian scenarios at night and with obstructions.
- Overall, JNCAP is working to strengthen various collision and preventive safety evaluations in order to further reduce traffic fatalities in Japan.

This document discusses the PROSPECT project which aims to improve active safety systems for protecting vulnerable road users (VRUs) like pedestrians and cyclists. The project seeks to (1) expand the scope of urban scenarios addressed, (2) improve overall autonomous emergency braking and steering system performance, and (3) propose extensive validation methodologies for testing. Accident analysis identified the most common accident scenarios involving VRUs. Naturalistic observations provided additional behavior data. Three demonstration vehicles will test sensor and control concepts in realistic scenarios using novel dummy specimens. The vehicles aim to address limitations of current systems like sensor field-of-view and reaction times. Extensive testing methodologies beyond current practices are proposed.
Ultrasonic obstacle detection systems can help reduce accidents and damage caused by commercial vehicles reversing and maneuvering in confined spaces by detecting pedestrians, cyclists, and other objects that may be hidden from the driver's view. Brigade's range of ultrasonic sensor systems, including Backscan, Frontscan, Sidescan, Cornerscan, and Stepscan, use ultrasonic sensors to detect obstacles and provide audible warnings to alert drivers of potential dangers, helping to improve safety and reduce costs of accidents. These systems have helped many fleet operators and companies improve safety and reduce collisions and liability costs.

Company mobility and road safety issues were discussed. Road accidents are a leading cause of workplace deaths, and speeding and fatigue are common factors. The UK police have strict guidelines to improve road safety, and a case study of Tesco showed that implementing training and telematics programs reduced accidents by drivers by 26% and traffic offenses by 60%, saving over £2 million. Legislation and guidance can help, but companies must prioritize managing road risk through clear policies and ensuring safe driver behavior.
The document discusses Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). ITS uses advanced technologies like electronics, computers, communications and sensors to improve transportation safety and efficiency. It describes several ITS technologies like wireless communications, computational technologies, and sensing technologies. It also discusses ITS applications such as electronic toll collection, emergency notification, congestion pricing, automatic enforcement, collision avoidance and traveler information. Finally, it outlines benefits of ITS such as time savings, improved safety, reduced costs and emissions.
Design And Development of Speed-Breaker Detection and Automatic Speed Control...IRJET Journal
This document presents a design for an automatic speed control system for vehicles that detects speed breakers using ultrasonic sensors and controls the vehicle's speed to prevent accidents. It aims to address accidents caused by drivers failing to see inconspicuous speed breakers, especially in low visibility conditions. The system uses an Arduino microcontroller and ultrasonic sensors to detect speed breakers from a distance and automatically applies the brakes to reduce the vehicle's speed as it approaches. A literature review discusses previous research on speed control systems, accident prevention technologies, and automatic braking systems. The proposed system aims to improve safety by taking control of the vehicle's speed when a driver is inattentive and approaching a speed breaker.
The document summarizes a road safety campaign in Ukraine focused on reducing speeding. It developed a "face to face" campaign targeting male drivers ages 30-45 using billboards, posters, and radio/TV ads. Research found speeding was a key safety issue. The campaign aims to raise awareness of speed's dangers and consequences through messages about the value of human life. It will use a multi-media approach, including tested creative concepts, to communicate the message "Don't rush! Keep your life!" across various media. The campaign is a partnership between the Ukrainian government and consulting firms.
iirdem CRASH IMPACT ATTENUATOR (CIA) FOR AUTOMOBILES WITH THE ADVOCATION OF M...Iaetsd Iaetsd
This document describes a proposed crash impact attenuation system for automobiles that uses mechatronic systems. The system includes an accident prediction system using ultrasound sensors to monitor vehicle surroundings and detect potential collisions. It also includes a crash absorption system with components like a pneumatic cylinder attached to the vehicle chassis that can push and pull a shock energy absorber upon detection of an imminent crash by the microcontroller. This proposed system aims to reduce crash impacts and potentially save lives by fully absorbing crash forces through controlled actuation of the absorber components.

Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real lifeartemacademy2
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.

Why Psychological Safety Matters for Software Teams - ACE 2024 - Ben Linders.pdfBen Linders
Psychological safety in teams is important; team members must feel safe and able to communicate and collaborate effectively to deliver value. It’s also necessary to build long-lasting teams since things will happen and relationships will be strained.
But, how safe is a team? How can we determine if there are any factors that make the team unsafe or have an impact on the team’s culture?
In this mini-workshop, we’ll play games for psychological safety and team culture utilizing a deck of coaching cards, The Psychological Safety Cards. We will learn how to use gamification to gain a better understanding of what’s going on in teams. Individuals share what they have learned from working in teams, what has impacted the team’s safety and culture, and what has led to positive change.
Different game formats will be played in groups in parallel. Examples are an ice-breaker to get people talking about psychological safety, a constellation where people take positions about aspects of psychological safety in their team or organization, and collaborative card games where people work together to create an environment that fosters psychological safety.

15. •Overridable assisting ISA on all new vehicles default ON
•Alcohol interlocks on professional vehicles and a
standard interface for all vehicles to allow fitment
• Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) for cars and vans
with cyclist/pedestrian protection
• Improved pedestrian protection for cars (crash test
changes)
• Improved direct vision to allow truck drivers to see
pedestrians and cyclists
• Event Data Recorders (EDR)
ETSC SUPPORTS ALL MEASURES, IN PARTICULAR:
16. “Speed remains a very important risk factor. It has a
greater effect on the number of accidents and injury
severity than almost all other known risk factors.”
Rune Elvik, The Power Model of the relationship between speed and road safety:
Update and new analyses (2009)
SPEED
20. With ISA, top speeds are curtailed. So:
• AEB will have more opportunity to
prevent crashes
• When there are crashes, occupant
protection systems will have a greater
chance of preventing harm
SYNERGIES
21. PAVING THE WAY FOR AUTONOMOUS CARS
• ISA is a building block for future autonomous driving. Respecting
speed limits is a pre-requisite for vehicle automation.
• Semi-automated systems are already available and approved for
use and have the potential to save many lives today.
Fitting #SafetyAsStandard as soon as possible
23. DIRECT VISION
•Improving direct vision and
awareness of pedestrians and
cyclists in close proximity of the
driver's cab, by the driver.
•Eye contact by pedestrian or
cyclist, for confirmation of being
seen.
•Structural changes required to
truck cabs.
24. • Pedestrian/cyclist windscreen hits
• Frontal Crash Protection Updates
• Side Crash Protection Updates
•Pole Side Impact test

26. • Vehicle fleet renewal is a long process
• A need to introduce new highest level vehicle
safety standards without delay
• GSR promises a major breakthrough: it’s as
important for saving lives as the introduction of
the seatbelt
• New mandatory vehicle safety measures = lives
saved and injuries prevented
CONCLUSIONS
27. ETSC CALLS FOR YOUR SUPPORT TO
NOT WATERDOWN THE EC PROPOSAL
• No further delay in the implementation dates / reduce the
number of years for some (ISA, direct vision)
• Passive safety and active safety should be both improved
(contrary to industry claims)
Active safety = AEB for instance
Passive safety = protection in case of a collision
