Introduction
Proactively avoiding vehicle crashes in improving traffic safety on freeways, may have much better benefits than minimizing the values once a crash has occurred. A crash is defined as an accident involving a vehicle collision. To appliance crash prevention, it is essential that the future occurrence of a crash can be predicted on the basis of hazardous traffic flow conditions that are present prior to the existence of the crash. To predict the variation of crash likely over time and to launch real-time crash counter measures to avoid the hazardous traffic condition principal to crashes it is important the identification of crash precursors from current traffic flow environments. In real-time crash prevention, crash precursors based

Krishnan et al. claimed that braking capability of cars, response time of drivers, speed of cars, type of cars and mass of cars are important factors affecting crashes. They used these factors as criteria for designing their rear-end collision-warning system.
As far as the writers are mindful the first accident-prediction models for multilane roads were developed by Persaud and Dzbik (1993). Relations between crash data and traffic flow, said both as average daily traffic (ADT) and hourly volume (VH), were projected. The analysis was based on general linear models. Results presented that crash rate increases with increasing traffic flow expressed both as ADT and VH.
When we take Big data arena Review vehicle is off-roadway detection technology that is developing fast. Compared with the other two types of sensors mentioned above, probe vehicles also require in-vehicle devices in addition to fixed infrastructure. Current probe vehicle technologies include Global Positioning System (GPS), cellular phones, Bluetooth, Ground-Based Radio Navigation, Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI) and Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) (Turner et al., 1998; Martin et al., 2003). With enough analysis vehicles, they could also provide real-time traffic information at individual vehicle level. However, subsequently only part of the vehicles are prepared with in-vehicle devices, some

Such modeling is a collective topic in several areas including biomedical, engineering, and social sciences. In the transport field, hazard-based duration models have been functional to study a number of time-related matters. These include the time between individuals’ traffic accidents, the time between incident happening and its clearance.
This depends on:
Accident type: This variable includes vehicle-to-facility due to vehicle’s breakdown or careless driving, vehicle-to-vehicle, vehicle to-person, and vehicle’s fire. Accident type may generally affect the method and apparatus of the deletion work on the accident parties. Such accident types in chance affect the accident duration. Accident location: This denotes a location in terms of expressway section types such as main line, ramp, tunnel, bridge, barrier, break area, etc. This variable might influence the time to notice an accident behavior group, for example, depending on the location of an emergency service

The behavioral models of the traffic as a system has been developed and studied for several decades and the core behavioral models, Gipps’ car-following/acceleration model and lane-changing model are more or less enough to predict behavioral outcomes of vehicles in homogeneous traffic conditions with lane discipline. In mixed traffic conditions with weak/no lane discipline however, the behavior of a vehicle cannot be defined separately using the car-following and lane-changing models. The behavior of a vehicle under such conditions is very dynamic – depending on the behavior of other vehicles in its vicinity. Also, there exists a continuous interaction among the vehicles and therefore, every vehicle is influenced by its surrounding vehicles.
Imagine that your car could detect hazardous roads before you could sense it? A feature that provides this type of protective driving exists within European cars. This valuable safety feature that is offered in European cars i...
(3) In subsections (1) and (2) above “dangerous” refers to danger either of injury to any person or of serious damage to property; and in determining for the purposes of those subsections what would be expected of, or obvious to, a competent and careful driver in a particular case, regard shall be had not only to the circumstances of which he could be expected to be aware but also to any circumstances shown to have been within the knowledge of the
Today’s society appears to be constantly on the go. People seem to be pulled in multiple directions at once. Individuals never appear to have enough time to complete tasks that continually accumulate. It can be difficult to criticize someone that tries to make the most out every minute. Unfortunately, some of today’s drivers show a lack of judgment and trying to perform other tasks, while behind the wheel. People may feel this is best use time while getting to a destination. Occasionally, the small amount of time that people are trying to gain results in a time consuming accident. With modern conveniences that are geared toward an on the go public, individuals appear to be too preoccupied to driving safely.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), fatalities involving a vehicle have reduced by 64% from 1994 to 2013[2]. Many of these accidents are avoidable and some occur in a variety of situations. These situations include times when a distracted driver collides with a vehicle in its blind spot while attempting to change lanes, or fails to notice a stopped vehicle ahead to properly apply the brakes in time. Through the aid of modern technology, more accidents can be avoided. Automotive Sixth Sense is a transformation of non-autonomous vehicles into autonomous vehicles. Automotive Aftermarket Automatic Accident Avoidance Apparatus (A6th) will help to reduce collisions. This aftermarket product accomplishes goals
When you are driving you always have to be alert and have your eyes all over the road. Being that no one can foretell the future you never know what is around the corner. At any given time an accident can occur and if one does and your are in close range of it, it is up to you to stop in enough time to avoid the accident and to avoid one of your own. This act of avoiding an accident all depends on your response time. Your response time in the amount of time a person requires before they can act. Your response time has a direct impact on your driving. As you know it takes time to realize the situation and then more time added to that to actually respond to the whole situation. If you are not quick to act, then most likely you will be apart of the crash. That is why getting a better knowledge of your response time is very important because it can save your lives as well as others.

Richard Petty once said “You’ll got home safe, so drive safe, and stay safe.” Being a racing legend, he is an advocate for safe driving to minimise the cases of road crushes that have been on the rise. He double up as the chairman of the Veterans’ Safe Driving Initiative, the initiative is aimed at guiding the veterans returning from deployment on safe driving tips. It is necessarily important since the infrastructure has changed over time. Another initiative is being run in Minnesota where the teens are guided on the important safe driving tips. Study shows that more crushes are likely to occur in teen driving than veteran driving. It is also evident that young drivers are more likely to cause a crush within six months of passing the driving test and young male are worse than the females in the field.
Automobile accidents are the leading cause of deaths in America. Although new safety technologies are being developed everyday that will continue to help bring the death rate down, learning to become a defensive driver will increase your likelihood of reaching your destination safe and unharmed. The drivers that cause accidents are not defensive drivers.
Automobile accidents happen all around us. We see cars in the middle of the road after just rear ending each other. We see cars driving around town with big dents in them. Do you ever stop to wonder how car accidents happen? Physics; that’s how they happen. There are several aspects of physics that apply to automobile accidents.
For all these features any car can still crash so this report aims to make you more aware of the safety aspects of modern cars and what role they play in driving.
Being involved in an airplane accident is a nightmare scenario for any air travelers, crew and pilots alike. Statistically air travel is among the safest means of transport, but at the same time it is also associated with sporadic accidents that have proven to be extremely terrifying ordeals for all those involved due to a vast array of reasons. The causes of these accidents are of varying nature and depend on some problems that are originated during some stage of the flight process.
An aviation accident is characterized by the Сonvention on Іnternational Сivil Аviation Аnnex 13 as an circumstance correlated with the conveyance of an aircraft, which takes place during the planes’ journey; Where a person suffers from injuries or the plane sustains damage and it’s missing or inaccessible. Plane crashes can occur by all ranges of causes from human error to weather related. An occurring accident usually results in a high amount of casualties which leaves a bad mark on aviation. As such, people usually doubt the safety of plane crashes. I, myself, am really curious about this and thus I am making this project which will investigate the causes and prevention of plane crashes.
Road safety is one of the most important aspects of daily living. Our vehicle is our main transportation from one place to another. The number of car and motorcycle accidents seem to be increasing because of the many distractions, the lack of safety measures and judgment to road conditions and weather. Not being cautious increases the chances of not only injuring ourselves but hurting others as well. On the road, you see people talking on their cell phones or texting, eating, putting makeup on, changing the radio station, reading or using your GPS while driving. These are all distractions that endanger drivers, passengers and bystanders safety. Safe driving involves off-road precautionary measures such as making sure tires are properly inflated, testing windshield wipers, getting regular oil changes and tune-ups and adjusting the mirrors. All of these actions can help prevent an accident. Unfortunately, not all of us decide to wear our seat belts when driving or turn signal ligh...
