Effective injury forecasting in soccer with GPS training data and machine learning [PDF]
PLoS One 13(7) 2018, 2017 Injuries have a great impact on professional soccer, due to their large influence on team performance and the considerable costs of rehabilitation for players. Existing studies in the literature provide just a preliminary understanding of which factors mostly affect injury risk, while an evaluation of the potential of statistical models in forecasting ...

A Heterogeneity Based Case-Control Analysis of Motorcyclist Injury Crashes: Evidence from Motorcycle Crash Causation Study [PDF]
Accident Analysis & Prevention, 119, 202-214 (2018), 2018 The main objective of this study is to quantify how different policy-sensitive factors are associated with risk of motorcycle injury crashes, while controlling for rider-specific, psycho-physiological, and other observed/unobserved factors. The analysis utilizes data from a matched case-control design collected through the FHWA Motorcycle Crash ...

Determining rigid body motion from accelerometer data through the square-root of a negative semi-definite tensor, with applications in mild traumatic brain injury [PDF]
, 2021 Mild Traumatic Brain Injuries (mTBI) are caused by violent head motions or impacts. Most mTBI prevention strategies explicitly or implicitly rely on a "brain injury criterion". A brain injury criterion takes some descriptor of the head's motion as input and yields a prediction for that motion's potential for causing mTBI as the output.

Potential Escalator-related Injury Identification and Prevention Based on Multi-module Integrated System for Public Health [PDF]
, 2021 Escalator-related injuries threaten public health with the widespread use of escalators. The existing studies tend to focus on after-the-fact statistics, reflecting on the original design and use of defects to reduce the impact of escalator-related injuries, but few attention has been paid to ongoing and impending injuries.

Predictive modelling of training loads and injury in Australian football [PDF]
, 2017 To investigate whether training load monitoring data could be used to predict injuries in elite Australian football players, data were collected from elite athletes over 3 seasons at an Australian football club. Loads were quantified using GPS devices, accelerometers and player perceived exertion ratings.

Assessment of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury Risk Based on Human Key Points Detection Algorithm [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 This paper aims to detect the potential injury risk of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) by proposing an ACL potential injury risk assessment algorithm based on key points of the human body detected using computer vision technology. To obtain the key points data of the human body in each frame, OpenPose, an open source computer vision algorithm, was

Comparison of Waymo Rider-Only Crash Data to Human Benchmarks at 7.1 Million Miles [PDF]
, 2023 This paper examines the safety performance of the Waymo Driver, an SAE level 4 automated driving system (ADS) used in a rider-only (RO) ride-hailing application without a human driver, either in the vehicle or remotely. ADS crash data was derived from NHTSA's Standing General Order (SGO) reporting over 7.14 million RO miles through the end of October ...

A Numerical Method to Compute Brain Injury Associated to Concussion [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 This research proposes a new a numerical method to compute brain injury associated with concussion using the Peak Virtual Power method, using the THUMS 4.02 head model. The results indicate that mild and severe concussions could be prevented for lateral collisions and frontal impacts with PVP values lower than 0.928mW and 9.405mW, respectively, and no ...
