The decision-making systems in highly automated vehicles use artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to replicate human-like behaviour driving. However, when studying the acceptance of such vehicles, analysing human factor is essential if their deployment be a success. This paper presents an analysis, based on real driving conditions, perceived risk and occupant SAE level 4 vehicle (where user adopts only role passenger) two unforeseen situations involving risk, one which life pedestrian may...
Bleeding associated with left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation has been attributed to the loss of large von Willebrand factor (VWF) multimers excessive cleavage by ADAMTS-13, but this mechanism is not fully supported current evidence.

These infrastructures less equipment than high-capacity roads, therefore measures to reduce them should be implemented vehicles. This article describes the development and analysis of impact driver warning system for safe each road section terms geometry, presence jams,...
Impulsivity has been widely studied in the context of traffic. The trait is believed to be root some accidents, along with other variables like aggression and anger. present research objective develop a new scale - I-Driving Scale (IDS) evaluate measure construct impulsivity specific driving situations.
