A Simulator Study on the Driving Impacts of Four Speed-Calming Measures at Unsignalized Intersections

Applied Sciences
Intersections, especially those without traffic signals, are prone to frequent traffic accidents and disorder. The regulation of vehicle speed is an effective measure that can be taken in order to mitigate accidents and alleviate disorder at unsignalized

A large-scale study on the speed-calming effect of speed humps

Transactions on Transport Sciences, 2020
Inappropriate speeding is one of the main causes for traffic-related injuries and fatalities. Studies have shown that more than 50 % of Danish car drivers regularly speed on urban roads and nearly 75 % of them speed on rural roads. Physical speed-calming

Exploring the Barriers and Facilitators to Physical Activity Behaviour in Older Adults With Intellectual Disabilities: Lessons From and for a Co‐Design Study

Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Physical activity (PA) is one of the core components of healthy ageing. For older adults with intellectual disabilities (ID), PA is even more important because they often have a more sedentary and inactive lifestyle and more health problems than do older adults without ID.

Application of deep neural networks in detecting speed bumps and speed humps for fuel consumption optimization

Transportation Engineering
The rapid expansion of urbanization and growing urban populations have led to a significant increase in the number of vehicles. This trend, particularly in the absence of comprehensive transportation planning, has resulted in higher traffic congestion ...

Routine Dynamics at a Cardiac First‐Aid Unit: How Context, Emotions, and Identities Drive the Adaptation of Action Patterns

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract Emotions are a catalyst for actions. They are therefore important for developing an understanding of organizational routines as generative patterns of interdependent actions. To investigate how the performances and action patterns of routines are impacted by emotion changes brought about by alterations in the context of routine enactment, we ...

Home Safe Home: Safety Gains Through Telework During the Covid‐19 Pandemic

LABOUR, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper exploits exogenous shifts in work organisation during the Covid‐19 pandemic to study the implications of hybrid and remote work arrangements on occupational safety. Combining accident registers and household survey microdata from Hungary, we are able to address potential selection and reporting bias, and reliably identify the ...
