Almost a third of road users fail to notice approach of emergency ambulances
Almost a third of road users fail to notice the approach of emergency ambulances, despite sirens and flashing lights, reveals a survey in Emergency Medicine Journal. But among those who do, the encounter is often stressful, and in a significant minority of cases, potentially hazardous. The findings are based on a survey of 200 road users aged... view more...

Have scanner, will travel
No train will travel where safe passage is not guaranteed. Shifted rails or a tree growing too close to the track is an accident waiting to happen. To clear the way for safer travel, a rapid laser scanner measures the clearance profile surrounding the train. We all need our own space - even a locomotive with cars. For this reason, rail operators... view more... (2004-02-03)

EU research drive to reduce air pollution from traffic
Today the EU signed an agreement with the USA, Japan and China to address air pollution from transport. Signed during a conference in Milan, the accord will allow for joint research on emissions and vehicle testing, and it foresees the creation of a common scientific platform to measure and benchmark air pollution from traffic. The joint effort... view more... (2003-12-10)
Satellite road management being developed in Lisbon
The European Space Agency is working with Portuguese organisations on how space technology can improve road safety. Each year in Europe, 40 000 people die and 1 700 000 are injured in road accidents. Statistics show that one in three Europeans will become road accident victims during the course of their lifetime. These appalling figures are from... view more... (2003-11-21)
Widespread airbag use could result in dramatic cost savings for US trauma centers
According to research published in the May issue of the Journal of the American College of Surgeons, the new generation of airbags not only helps protect motor vehicle collision (MVC) victims from injury and death, but also are associated with dramatic cost saving to trauma centers. view more (2008-05-20)

Mileage from megawatts: Study finds enough electric capacity to "fill up" plug-in vehicles across much of the nation
If all the cars and light trucks in the nation switched from oil to electrons, idle capacity in the existing electric power system could generate most of the electricity consumed by plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. view more (2006-12-12)
Rural roads dangerous for young drivers
Results from Australia's largest study of young drivers have shown that they are at significant risk of crash on rural roads. According to researchers from The George Institute, young drivers living in rural areas are more likely to be involved in serious crashes than those in urban areas. view more (2009-09-22)
