New York City's automated speed cameras reduced traffic crashes by 14% and decreased speeding violations by 75% over time, according to research from NYU Tandon. The research revealed most cameras achieve their safety purpose within six months, with violations dropping and staying low 鈥� showing the cameras are working as intended, to deter speeding.
Explore the history of the Underground Railroad 鈥� a secret network of people and safe houses that helped enslaved African Americans escape to freedom in the United States. And learn about its most famous conductor, Harriet Tubman, who was commemorated with a statue on the Downtown Binghamton Freedom Trail.
Electric scooter schemes appear to reduce the risk of bicycle collisions by around 20%, according to a University of Bristol-led study. The research, funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR), is published in Injury Prevention.
Spring break is a time to relax, reset and recharge. Whether you are traveling by car, plane, or boat, staying healthy while doing so is important. W. Graham Carlos, MD, Bicentennial Professor and professor of clinical medicine at the Indiana University School of Medicine, gives a few tips and tricks to keep you healthy.
Research Impact is a series that pulls back the curtain of IU Research, showcasing the faculty creating, innovating and advancing knowledge that improves communities and changes lives.
A grant to Wayne State University from the National Science Foundation (NSF) is opening new doors for researchers and students to explore the future of autonomous vehicles, machines and drones. Zheng Dong, Ph.D., assistant professor of computer science in Wayne State鈥檚 School of Engineering, was awarded a five-year, $595,611 NSF grant for the project, "CAREER: ChronosDrive: Ensuring Timing Correctness in DNN-Driven Autonomous Vehicles with Accelerator-Enhanced Real-Time SoC Integration."
We鈥檝e all heard 鈥淐lick It, or Ticket鈥� as a reminder to buckle up in the car, but 鈥淐lick It and Win It!鈥� appears to be an effective approach for sustaining consistent seatbelt use among drivers. When drivers were promised a share of $125 weekly prize money for maintaining perfect seatbelt use streaks, they established good, long-lasting habits. Driving without a seatbelt decreased 26% relative to the control during the incentive program and was 33% than the control even after the program ended, according to research from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, published in the American Journal of Public Health.
On average, D.C.鈥檚 beloved cherry blossoms bloom around the last week of March into the first week of April, but it can vary from year to year based on weather conditions. ...
Researchers develop a probabilistic framework using percolation theory to assess cascading cyber risks in drone swarms, enabling better insurance pricing and risk management for emerging drone delivery systems.
Walk into any store, and nearly everything 鈥� except produce 鈥� comes in some sort of package. Bottled water, cheese, electronics, even large appliances are wrapped in protective material to ensure that items are not damaged in transit. Changes, such as tariffs in the global marketplace, have a ripple effect on packaging, says Laszlo Horvath, an associate professor in the College of Natural Resources and Environment at Virginia Tech and director of the Center for Packaging and Unit Load Design in the Department of Sustainable Biomaterials.
Whether they're planning to snorkel a barrier reef or just walks on the beach, all travelers face risks 鈥� starting when they connect to the internet via airport Wi-Fi. Fraudsters troll free airport Wi-Fi signals and even impersonate those networks to get access to sensitive information such as credit card numbers and banking passwords transmitted through passengers鈥� laptops, tablets, and smartphones.
Accurate estimation of the State of Charge (SoC) in lithium-ion batteries is a pivotal factor for optimizing the performance, safety, and longevity of electric vehicles (EVs). Traditional methods often fail to capture the dynamic, nonlinear nature of battery behavior, resulting in inaccuracies that undermine battery management systems (BMS). A new hybrid model that combines deep neural networks (DNNs) with a teaching-learning based optimization (TLBO) algorithm is set to revolutionize SoC estimation, offering a much-needed solution to enhance the efficiency and reliability of EVs.
Trucking is considered to be one of the most dangerous and demanding jobs in the country, accounting for about 20% of all vehicle-related fatalities
For the first time, researchers at the University of California, Irvine have demonstrated that multicolored stickers applied to stop or speed limit signs on the roadside can confuse self-driving vehicles, causing unpredictable and possibly hazardous operations.
A team of researchers from the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering is exploring how existing technology and new algorithms can prevent potential crashes at intersections and pave the way for smarter, safer roads.
Hydrogen has the potential to power internal combustion engines, including on-road and off-road vehicles and equipment, and large marine engines. Despite its promise to reduce climate change emissions such as carbon dioxide and harmful pollutants, hydrogen has largely remained underutilized in the United States. Officials at the University of Michigan and University of California, Riverside, along with several industry partners, are working to change that with the launch of the Hydrogen Engine Alliance of North America, or H2EA-NA. The alliance will promote hydrogen as a viable alternative fuel that can complement internal combustion engine, or ICE, vehicles while supporting the transition to electric and other zero emission technologies.
A researcher at Missouri University of Science and Technology has developed a robotic system to make bridge inspections faster, more comprehensive and safer. Dr. Genda Chen鈥檚 invention, called the Bridge Inspection Robot Deployment System, or BIRDS, has been selected for the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) 2025 Charles Pankow Award for Innovation.
The National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II) 鈥� a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science user facility at DOE鈥檚 Brookhaven National Laboratory 鈥� is among the world鈥檚 most advanced synchrotron light sources, enabling and supporting science across various disciplines. Advances in automation, robotics, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML) are transforming how research is done at NSLS-II, streamlining workflows, enhancing productivity, and alleviating workloads for both users and staff.
