Automatic Accident Detection System Using IoT Compared to the Systems that a Traffic Centre Uses for Accident Detection Hasselt University

Dimitrios ZAVANTIS, Dimitrios Mandalozis, Ansar YASAR, Lumbarda Hasimi
In recent years, vehicle traffic has become a major issue with a significant increase in the number of vehicles, leading to congestion on urban roads and motorways. This has resulted in an increase in accidents, causing more injuries and fatalities. There are many steps in managing an accident, it can be said assuring that one of the most important steps is the rapid detection of the incident and its exact location. Quick and accurate ...

The incremental cost of traumatic brain injury during the first year after a road traffic accident Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Helena Van Deynse, Griet Van Belleghem, Maarten Moens, Karen Pien, Ives Hubloue, Koen Putman

This study aims to determine the incremental cost of TBI during the first year after a traffic accident, compared to other patients with similar non-TBI injuries. Secondly, identification of factors associated with medical costs of TBI is pursued. Analyses were performed on administrative data for traffic victims hospitalised in Belgium between 2009 and 2011. Medical costs attributable to the accident are estimated over one year post-injury. ...

Traffic accident segmentation by means of latent class clustering Hasselt University

Benoit DEPAIRE, Geert WETS, Koen VANHOOF
Traffic accident data are often heterogeneous, which can cause certain relationships to remain hidden. Therefore, traffic accident analysis is often performed on a small subset of traffic accidents or several models are built for various traffic accident types. In this paper, we examine the effectiveness of a clustering technique, i.e. latent class clustering, for identifying homogenous traffic accident types. Firstly, a heterogeneous traffic ...

Health care utilization after hospitalization following a road traffic accident Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Griet Van Belleghem, Helena Van Deynse, Eva Huysmans, Ives Hubloue, Karen Pien, Nicole Pouliart, Ronald Buyl, Koen Putman

PURPOSE: In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in measuring and modeling health care utilization. However, only limited research has been performed in the field of health care utilization following road traffic accidents. This article aims to measure the incremental health care utilization after hospital discharge after a road traffic accident and explore the association between socio-demographic and injury-related variables ...

Testing the efficacy of the cognitive interview to road traffic accident investigations KU Leuven

Diandra Yasmine Irwanda, Henry Otgaar
n the current set of experiments, we examined the effectiveness of the CognitiveInterview (CI) on memory for traffic accidents. Three online experiments were con-ducted among Indonesian young motorcyclists who had an accident experience.Participants were interviewed about their most memorable accident experience,either with a CI or a Standard Interview (SI) method (Experiment 1). We added thetime delay as the second independent variable (less ...

Analysis of Road Traffic Accidents with Reference to Road Geometric Features and Traffic Flow Characteristics Hasselt University

Syyed SHAH
Road infrastructure planning and design is the prime responsibility of transportation experts for the safe mobility of human and goods traffic. Safer mobility leading to road safety management is one of the core responsibilities of policymakers and traffic safety experts. This theme requires a comprehensive road safety management system to technically monitor, analyse, and improve the safety level of road networks backed with the financial ...

Analysis of Children Road Traffic Accidents and Proposed Measures for Children Safety Improvement in Ho Chi Minh City Hasselt University

Anh Tuan Vu, Dinh Vinh Man NGUYEN
In recent years, the number of road traffic accidents, fatalities and injuries have been decreasing, but the figures of children road traffic accidents have been increasing in Ho Chi Minh City of Vietnam. This fact strongly calls for implementing effective solutions to improve traffic safety for children by the local government. This paper presents the trends, patterns and causes of road traffic accidents involving children based on the analysis ...

Cervical and lumbar spine imaging after traffic and occupational accidents : evaluation of the use of imaging techniques, cumulative radiation dose and associated lifetime cancer risk Ghent University

Bieke De Roo, Klaus Bacher, Koenraad Verstraete
Purpose: To study number and type of imaging techniques, cumulative radiation exposure and radiation-induced risk from repeated imaging of cervical and lumbar spine attained after traffic or occupational accident. Method: The study cohort comprised of 500 patients after traffic or occupational accident. Amount of radiography, CT and MRI procedures and injury severity were tallied for each patient. Cumulative effective dose (CED), expressed in ...
