Isolated head-neck complexes were fixed at T1 with the occiput connected via a custom apparatus to a testing device to induce lateral bending motion. Head angular and linear accelerations and angular velocities were computed using a pyramid nine accelerometer package on the head; specimen-specific physical properties including center of gravity and moments of inertia in the three-dimensions; and equations of equilibrium. These data were used to determine neck loads at the occipital condyles. No specimens sustained injuries, identified by palpation, x-rays, CT, and autopsy.

The 15-year-old failure tolerance was comparable to that of the adult specimens. Failure of the adult specimens occurred within a wide range at the T2-T4 thoracic section (23.3 Nm- 53.0 Nm) while it was circumscribed to the interval 48.3 Nm-52.5 Nm for the T7-T9 section.

The purpose of this study was to assess the validity and reliability of a Persian version of MRBQ. The 43-item MRBQ was adapted to Persian according to translation-back translation method. The questionnaire was significantly revised after assessment of content validity. In the revised version, 10 items of original MRBQ were deleted and 15 new items were added. The revised MRBQ was used in a survey of 518 motorcyclists. To assess the construct validity of MRBQ, we used Buss-Perry Aggression questionnaire concurrently on all of the subjects. After three weeks, we carried out the retest study on 119 out of 518 subjects. The mean age of the subjects was 32.5 years (SD=8.8). All of the participants were male with mean of 9.3 years of motorcycle riding experience (SD=7.3). Principal Components Analysis (PCA) showed six subscales: \"Speed Violations\", \"Traffic Errors\", \"Safety Violations\", \"Traffic Violations\", \"Stunts\" and \"Control Errors\", which accounted for 36.44% of total variance together. For each of these subscales, Cronbach's Alpha was between 0.79 to 0.91. Intraclass Correlation Coefficient for six subscales and total questionnaire were from 0.73 to 0.91. There were significant correlations between MRBQ subscales and subscales of Buss-Perry aggression questionnaire.

The Contribution of Vehicle Technologies to the Reduction in Road Casualties in France from 2000 to 2010.","authors":"Yves Page, Thierry Hermitte, Sophie Cuny","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>In France, over the last 10 years, road fatalities have decreased dramatically by 48%. This reduction is somewhat close to the target fixed by the European Commision in 2001 for the whole of Europe (-50 %). According to the French govnerment, 75% of this reduction was due to the implementation of automatic speed cameras on the roadsides from 2003 onwards. Yet, during this period, there was also a significantly increase in safety technology, new regulations in front and side impacts, and developments in Euro NCAP to improve passive safety in the vehicles. This paper set out to estimate the extent that vehicle safety technologies contributed to the road safety benefits over this decade. Using a combination of databases and fitment rates, the number of fatalities and hospitalized injuries saved in passenger car crashes was estimated for a number of safety technologies, individually and as a package including a 5 star EuroNCAP rating. The additional benefits from other public safety measures were also similarly estimated. The results showed that overall safety measures during this decade saved 240,676 fatalities + serious injuries, of which 173,663 were car occupants. Of these, 27,365 car occupants and 1,083 pedestrian savings could be attributed directly to vehicle safety improvements (11% overall). It was concluded that while public safety measures were responsible for the majority of the savings, enhanced vehicle safety technologies also made a significant improvement in the road toll in France during the last decade. As the take-up rate for these technologies improves, is expected to continue to provide even more benefits in the next 10-year period.</p>","PeriodicalId":87875,"journal":{"name":"Annals of advances in automotive medicine.

A three-dimensional finite element model of the rat skull and brain was used to understand the anatomical region-dependent stress response under mild TBI conditions. Anesthetized rats were exposed to varying coronal plane angular acceleration pulses without direct head contact. Experimental outcomes included unconscious time and histological evidence of brain pathology using GFAP and MAP2. The finite element model was exercised using the five experimental and four supplemental pulses to simulate nine independent combinations of peak acceleration and pulse duration (290 to 542 krad/s(2) and 1 to 3 ms). Stress response metrics were correlated to histological and behavioral (e.g., loss of consciousness) evidence of injury in rats subjected to pure coronal plane angular acceleration of the head. Injury severity was modulated by independently controlling peak magnitude and duration of the angular acceleration. While peak Von Mises stresses correlated well with changes in injury severity associated with peak angular acceleration, this metric did not demonstrate sensitivity to changes in acceleration duration. However, an integrated stress-time metric was able to predict changes in injury severity associated with increasing angular acceleration magnitude and duration in both the hippocampal and parietal cortex anatomical regions. Results of this unique hybrid analysis indicate that the combined stress-time variable may be more suited to explain variation of mild TBI severity, rather than pure peak metrics.</p>","PeriodicalId":87875,"journal":{"name":"Annals of advances in automotive medicine.

An intervention study was started with 1889 car driver's license attempters during their driving school studies.

Cases scoring at least 3 points were then qualitatively analyzed and 33 pairs of cases of the same vehicle make/model but opposite SAB status were chosen. Occupants with deployed SAB had reduced occurrences and severity of head and face, neck and cervical spine, and thoracic injuries and fewer injurious contacts to side components including the door, a-pillar, and window sill.
