Download or read book Improving Traffic Safety Culture in the United States written by and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In October 2005, the AAAFoundation hosted a workshop, cosponsored by the Federal Highway Administration and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, to identify and prioritize long-range traffic safety research needs. A recurring theme throughout the workshop was that one of our greatest challenges wasn't a specific traffic safety issue, but rather our way of thinking about all of the issues, or our 'safety culture.' Recognizing that we would not be able to make a paradigm shift happen by ourselves, we began by soliciting input from the community regarding what 'safety culture' is, how it can be defined or measured, and most importantly, how it can be improved. During February, March, and April 2006, we actively sought input from the traffic safety community and others, in the form of brief concept papers describing directions for the AAA Foundation and/or the community at large to take to promote change. Authors of several of these concept papers received in response to that solicitation were invited to develop their thoughts further, resulting in the papers in this compendium. All of the papers in this compendium focus on the general theme of 'culture' in the context of motor vehicle traffic safety. As you will see, there is considerable variation in the scope and focus of individual papers, as well as the perspective from which they were written." - p. v

Download or read book Modeling Metaverse Perceptions for Bolstering Traffic Safety using Novel TrSS Based OWCM RAM MCDM Techniques Purposes and Strategies written by Mona Mohamed and published by Infinite Study. This book was released on 2024-01-01 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Metaverse has the potential to revolutionize various aspects of human life, including transportation systems. The integration of the Metaverse into intelligent transportation systems has the potential to significantly improve traffic safety in smart cities. By creating a virtual replica of the physical world, the Metaverse can provide a platform for testing new traffic management systems, road designs, and vehicle technologies in a controlled and safe environment before implementing them in the real world. One way to integrate the Metaverse into intelligent transportation systems (ITS) is by enhancing traffic safety. This can be achieved by developing an evaluation model that considers both safety and traffic efficiency. The proposed evaluation methodology encompasses three phases. Firstly, the obligations/criteria, and subsidiary obligations are modeled into nodes within levels based on Tree Soft Sets (TrSSs). Secondly, the Opinion Weight Criteria Method (OWCM) is utilized for generating the weights for obligations and subsidiary obligations. Finally, the Root Assessment Method (RAM) harnesses the generated weights for assessing and ranking alternative approaches to improving traffic safety in smart cities. The utilized techniques are working under the authority of neutrosophic theory to support these techniques in uncertain and ambiguous circumstances. Subsequently, the proposed methodology is tested in a case study that considers three alternative approaches to improving traffic safety in a smart city. The criteria for evaluation include safety and traffic aspects. The results of the case study indicate that the proposed evaluation model effectively ranks the alternative approaches based on their safety and traffic efficiency. This suggests that the Metaverse can be effectively integrated to enhance traffic safety and improve overall transportation efficiency. Overall, the results of the case study suggest that the proposed evaluation model effectively ranks the alternative approaches based on their safety and traffic efficiency. This indicates that the integration of the Metaverse can indeed enhance traffic safety and improve overall transportation efficiency in smart cities.
