Analysis of the efficiency of traffic lights turning red in case of exceeding speed limit

Ingeniería e Investigación, 2021
Due to the presence of various traffic calming measures (TCM) and traffic lights in urban areas, the speed of vehicles is maintained low. Nevertheless, a problem arises in the frontier between urban and non-urban areas because drivers must adapt their ...

Assessment of the effects of traffic infrastructure reconstruction and introduction of a pedestrian island as a traffic calming measure using traffic microsimulations

International Conference on Road and Rail Infrastructure, 2022
The reduction in the traffic death rate in the EU has stagnated in recent years, and the goal of halving the number of fatalities in traffic from 2010 to 2020 has not been met yet. The long-term goal of achieving "Vision 0" requires a multidisciplinary approach and shared responsibility between transport infrastructure that "forgives mistakes", traffic

Feasibility and Exploratory Outcomes of Foot‐Ankle and Walking Exercises for Diabetic Neuropathy, Stress, and Quality of Life: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

Research in Nursing &Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Foot–ankle and walking exercises have been proposed as potential strategies for managing symptoms in people with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), yet evidence from primary care remains limited. This pilot study assessed the feasibility and acceptability of these interventions and explored preliminary outcome patterns in DPN, stress, and ...

The Impact of Introducing a Low Traffic Neighbourhood on Fire Service Emergency Response Times, in Waltham Forest London

Findings, 2020
There is sometimes concern that low traffic neighbourhoods slow emergency vehicles. We test this using London Fire Brigade data (2012-2020) in Waltham Forest, where from 2015 low traffic neighbourhoods have been implemented.

Pedestrian injuries sustained in negotiating traffic calming measures [PDF]

Emergency Medicine Journal, 2000
Editor,— We have recently seen two patients who were injured while walking across raised traffic calming features (sleeping policemen). The first patient, a 56 year old woman could not walk on the pavement as it was blocked by cars. In negotiating the traffic restraint she failed to clear the restraint and caught her foot, stumbling forwards cutting ...

Observations and numerical simulations of a valley‐exit wind in the Alpine Bolzano basin

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
The evolution and spreading of the nocturnal valley‐exit wind flowing from the Isarco Valley into the Bolzano basin, in the Italian Alps, are found to be influenced by the basin temperature stratification. Measurements and high‐resolution simulations show that a cold‐air pool favors an upward trajectory of the flow at the exit of the valley.

Promoting Climate‐Friendly Behaviour Under Cognitive and Coordination Constraints: A Multi‐Level Framework for Sustainable Development Governance

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite widespread concern about climate change, climate‐friendly behaviour remains difficult to sustain in practice. This article argues that the core challenge lies less in insufficient motivation than in the cognitive and coordination demands imposed by prevailing decision environments.

Effect of driver characteristics and traffic-calming measures on speed

Journal of Safety Research
Moderating traffic speed is essential for pedestrian safety, particularly in areas where there are crossroads. Identifying how driver characteristics influence the effectiveness of traffic-calming measures can support more targeted interventions. This study examines the impact of driver characteristics (such as driving exposure, age and gender) on ...

Den attendance by Arctic foxes experiencing 10 years of increasing tourism

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wildlife tourism is a growing industry, and an increasing number of people seek to observe and interact with wild animals in their natural surroundings. In Iceland, the native Arctic fox Vulpes lagopus is widespread and has been under heavy hunting pressure for centuries.
