Abstract:
The purpose of this review is to present an overview of roadside drug testing, driving enforcement, and drunk/drug driving detection around the world. Drunk and drug driving is a severe problem, not only in the UAE, but also around the world. This has important implications for road safety as drunk or drug driving may increase the chances of a driver’s involvement in a road crash when compared to a drug-free driver. Recently, due to increases in drug-impaired drivers’ crash involvement, many mobile roadside drug testing devices have been introduced to the market. These devices use oral fluid,

Abstract:
Reducing marijuana-impaired driving is an important part of any strategy to prevent motor vehicle traffic injuries. In Colorado, the first of eight US states and the District of Columbia to legalise marijuana for recreational use, drivers with positive tests for the presence of marijuana accounted for a larger proportion of fatal MVCs after marijuana commercialisation. The use of blood tests to screen for marijuana intoxication, in Colorado and elsewhere in the USA, poses a number of challenges.

Motorcycles are among the most vulnerable vehicles on the road. Although a combination of different factors may cause motorcycle crashes, an appropriate design of roadside safety systems can play an important role in limiting the severity of motorcycle crashes. Roadside safety systems are not typically designed with the special needs of motorcyclists in mind. The Roadside Design Guide provides guidelines for proper concrete barrier placement on roadways but does not address motorcycle barriers ( 1). The Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware includes testing guidelines and evaluation criteria fo

Abstract:
Currently, there are mature test methods for specific sensing devices or processing devices in the Internet of Vehicles (IoV). However, when a system is combined with these different types of devices and algorithms for real scenarios, the existing device-level test results cannot reflect the comprehensive functional or performance requirements of the IoV applications at the system level. Therefore, novel application-oriented system-level evaluation indexes and test methods are needed. To this end, we extract the data processing functional entities into specific and quantifiable evaluation inde

Abstract:
Objectives: A Roadside Animal Detection System (RADS) was installed in January 2012 along Highway 41 through Big Cypress National Preserve in Florida, USA in an attempt to reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions. The system uses flashing warning signs to alert drivers when a large animal is near the road. However, we suspected that the RADS warning signs could be ignored by drivers because they resemble other conventional signs. We hypothesized that word-based warning signs (current design) are less effective than picture-based signs at catching drivers' attention. Methods: We used a driving simula

Abstract:
Drug driving continues to be overrepresented in both fatal and serious injury crashes in Victoria. As an enforcement countermeasure, preliminary oral fluid tests to detect drug driving were introduced in Victoria, Australia in December 2004. Recent research has modelled the relationships between prevalences of THC and methamphetamine in fatally and seriously injured drivers and (a) the annual numbers of random and targeted drug tests during 2010-2016 and (b) the positive detection rates from these tests. The increase in roadside drug tests in Victoria from 42,000 in 2013 (1% of licensed driver

Abstract:
The basis for system integration and field testing was developed for assessing a dilemma zone warning system for signalized intersections. The system consists of hardware (an in-vehicle warning device, roadside antenna, and traffic signal controller) and software to operate and test the integrated component warning and communications systems. Field tests were conducted in real traffic situations to test the system’s warning initiation time from the signal controller, the activation and duration of the visual and audible signals, and the warning delay, on the basis of relationships between dist

Abstract:
In urban intersections, the sensory capabilities of autonomous vehicles (AVs) are often hindered by visual obstructions, posing significant challenges to their robust and safe operation. This paper presents an implementation study focused on enhancing the safety and robustness of Connected Automated Vehicles (CAVs) in scenarios with occluded visibility at urban intersections. A novel LiDAR Infrastructure System is established for roadside sensing, combined with Baidu Apollo’s Automated Driving System (ADS) and Cohda Wireless V2X communication hardware, and an integrated platform is established

Abstract:
A novel foam-based colorimetric alcohol sensor was developed for the detection of alcohol in saliva. Detection was based on the color change of a potassium dichromate-sulfuric acid solution absorbed by melamine foam. In the presence of alcohol, the orange colorimetric sensor changed color to brown, green and, ultimately, blue, depending on the concentration of alcohol in the sample. The response of the proposed sensor toward alcohol was linear from 0.10 to 2.5% v/v. The limit of detection was 0.03% v/v. Alcohol concentration could be determined using the naked eye in the range of 0.00 to 10% v
