Statistical road safety
What possible connection could there be between an eighteenth century British Presbyterian minister and preventing road traffic accidents in Hartford, Connecticut. Everything, according to a report in the International Journal of Intelligent Systems Technologies and Applications. view more (2009-03-30)
New Research could benefit drivers who are sensitive to night-time glare conditions
A new technique to measure the effect of bright light on the human eye could result in safer and more user-friendly lighting conditions. The technique, which records the electrical activity of a major muscle surrounding the eye, opens the way to measuring the discomfort of the eye in conditions of changing light. This could have important... view more... (2001-09-26)
Method uses 'Bluetooth' to track travel time for vehicles, pedestrians
Engineers have created a method that uses pervasive Bluetooth signals from cell phones and other wireless devices to constantly update how long it takes vehicles and pedestrians to travel from one point to another. view more (2008-05-28)
Molecular mechanism provides intra-cellular traffic signal
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago have found that intra-cellular trafficking is tightly coordinated for maximum flow through cellular compartments - much as vehicles on a crowded road are allowed to pass quickly through a succession of green traffic lights. view more (2006-10-18)
A look at public policies and motorcycle safety in the US
One of the joys of riding a motorcycle is the freedom that comes with that form of travel. However the absence of physical barriers to protect riders puts motorcyclists at a higher risk of injury than other motorists. view more (2009-10-30)
Genetic predisposition increases childhood asthma risk
Children who carry variations in specific genes that metabolize vehicle emissions are more susceptible to developing asthma, particularly if they live near major roadways. view more (2007-08-21)
New methodology to design complete mould QFT multivariable controllers
This project has been proposed in the doctoral thesis of professor Igor Ega'ħa Santamarina of the Public University of Navarre (Basque Country), called "Design of complete mould QFT multivariable controllers". Professor Mario Garcia Sanz, from the Department of Automation and Computer Science of the Public University of Navarre, has... view more... (2002-10-25)

Researchers link childhood asthma to exposure to traffic-related pollution
Living near a freeway may mean more than the annoying rumble of cars and trucks: For children, it brings an increased risk of asthma, according to researchers at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California. view more (2005-09-21)
More reliable and secure telecommunications via the Internet
Professor Anna Brunström, Karlstad University, is heading a research project that will lead to more reliable and secure telecommunications via the Internet. Reliability is an important aspect when telephony moves over to the Internet, so-called IP-telephony. Today there are three different nets: for telephony, for the Internet, and for... view more...

The 160-mile download diet: Local file-sharing drastically cuts network load
Peer-to-peer networking, or P2P, has become the method of choice for sharing music and videos. While initially used to share pirated material, the system is now used by NBC, BBC and others to deliver legal video content and by Hollywood studios to distribute movies online. Experts estimate that peer-to-peer systems generate 50 to 80 percent of all... view more... (2008-08-20)
Drive-by-wire closer than you think
Fly-by-wire control systems are well established in the aerospace industry. Now participants in one IST project, PEIT, have ambitious plans to introduce the same capabilities to road vehicles. The objective? Potentially reducing road accidents within the EU by half! "We know that 98 per cent of vehicle accidents are caused by driver... view more... (2004-04-07)
Media invitation: Big Bang: Braunschweig Research Airport
The aerospace industry is one of the most important motivating forces of technological development and almost all high technologies in the information age are closely connected in this field. Especially in our region this sector has a particular key function which induces significant technological effects in further business sectors of the... view more... (2004-05-28)
Aircraft noise raises blood pressure even whilst people are sleeping, says study
Night-time noise from aircraft or traffic can increase a person's blood pressure even if it does not wake them, according to a new study published today in the European Heart Journal. view more (2008-02-13)
IU informatics researchers throttle notion of search engine dominance
Search engines are not biased toward popular Web sites, and may even be egalitarian in the way they direct traffic. view more (2006-08-08)
Letting the spin loose
Two properties of an electron-its spin and its charge-are generally thought to be inseparable, intrinsic characteristics, no more given to sudden changes or going off on their own than say, the fur on a cat or the paint on a bicycle. But a team of scientists at the Weizmann Institute of Science has recently demonstrated conclusively that, in very... view more... (2005-07-13)
Scientific system accurately predicts spread of H1N1: study
A new scientific system developed by a St. Michael's Hospital physician, designed to rapidly evaluate the world's air traffic patterns, accurately predicted how the H1N1 virus would spread around the world. view more (2009-06-30)
Quick-fix train timetables
People who travel by train want to arrive on time, but it takes well-planned timetables to ensure that they will. The simulation program ConTrain makes it easier to create reliable ones for passenger and freight traffic that will ultimately cover inter-European connections. view more (2004-10-25)
Cleaner Air Linked To Reduced Death Rates
Two population studies in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlight how poor air quality is directly related to increased risk of death from respiratory and cardiovascular disease. Luke Clancy from St James Hospital, Dublin, and colleagues from Trinity College and Dublin Institute of Technology, Dublin, Ireland, and Harvard School of Public... view more... (2002-10-16)
