Car transportation conditions of preschool children: use of children's car safety seats

Acta Paediatrica, 1997
The objective of this study was to evaluate children's car safety seat usage in a non‐random study population of the Capital and surrounding area of Attica and a provincial region in Greece. One or both of the parents of 1556 children (aged 0–4 years) were interviewed. A questionnaire covering car safety seat usage by area of residence, age of parents,

Car drivers’ intelligent transportation systems

2012
Perhaps the title ‘Intelligent Transport(ation) Systems (ITS)’ we use is somewhat misleading and too general, but it is a generic term covering all sorts of devices aimed to support drivers. In fact the concept of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) covers the collection of systems and subsystems for solving increasing problems in traffic, from ...

Designing car bans for sustainable transportation

Nature Sustainability, 2019
Car bans could contribute to both climate change and air-quality goals. However, most car bans announced to date lack enforcement mechanisms and are therefore not bans at all. Here, we provide recommendations to design car bans as a more-effective policy tool for sustainability.

Transport Disadvantage, Car Dependence and Urban Form

2015
In a more mobile world, the ability to cover greater distances and access to motorised means of transport are increasingly important for access to services and opportunities and, as a result, for social status and inclusion. In this chapter, we put forward an integrated conceptualisation of transport disadvantage, based on an extensive literature ...

Public Transportation and Private Car

International Journal of System Dynamics Applications, 2016
While there is a general agreement that the use of public transportation should be encouraged, it has also been reported that the willingness and tendency to use the public transportation is dominated by the propensity of private car use. Consequently, the persistent increase in the modal share of private car has been a matter of concern in the context

Car or Public Transport—Two Worlds

2009
There are two kinds of people: those who travel by car, and those who use public transport. The topic of this article is to show that the algorithmic problem of computing the fastest way to get from A to B is also surprisingly different on road networks than on public transportation networks.

A Molecular Cable Car for Transmembrane Ion Transport

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 2019
AbstractThe controlled transport of molecular and ionic substrates across bilayer membranes is a fundamental task for the operation of living organisms. It is also a highly fascinating and demanding challenge for artificial molecular machines. The recent report of a synthetic transmembrane molecular shuttle that can transport potassium ions selectively
