Road accidents, domestic falls, and persons associated with sports and military services exhibited the concussion or contusion type of traumatic brain injury (TBI) that resulted in chronic traumatic encephalopathy. In some instances, these complex neurological aberrations pose severe brain damage and devastating long-term neurological sequelae. Several preclinical (rat and mouse) TBI models simulate the clinical TBI endophenotypes. Moreover, many investigational neuroprotective candidates showed promising effects in these models; however, the therapeutic success of these screening candidates has been discouraging at various stages of clinical trials...

Advanced Rider Assistance Systems (ARAS) are solutions developed to reduce the crashes rate of Powered Two Wheelers (PTWs). They assist riders in their driving task by transmitting information on their environment or by automatically controlling the dynamics of their vehicle. This study describes a methodology for evaluating the impact of 14 ARAS on PTWs crashes. This methodology consists first of establishing links between ARAS functionalities and riders' failures in crashes situations. Then, an analysis of real crashes cases was conducted using two reals crashes databases: the "In-depth crashes investigation at the Laboratory of Accident Mechanisms Analysis (LMA)" in Salon-de-Provence, France, and the "Initiative for the Global harmonization of Accidents Data"...

The utility maximization theory, based on the rationality of human beings, has proven effective in modeling pedestrians' decision-making processes while crossing roads. However, there are still unexplained variations in crossing behavior, and deviations from the rational utility model frequently occur in real-life scenarios. This experimental study sheds new light on the presence of inter-individual interactions among pedestrians and the nature of collective behaviors during road crossings. The present study develops a multi-pedestrian virtual reality simulator specifically designed to investigate the impact of social interaction on pedestrians' eye-scanning patterns, perceived responses, crossing behaviors, and the associated crash risk...

Intelligent Connected Vehicle (ICV) is considered one of the most promising active safety technologies to address current transportation challenges. Human-Machine Interface (HMI) plays a vital role in enhancing user driving experience with ICV technology. However, in an ICV environment, drivers may exhibit excessive reliance on HMI, resulting in diminished proactive observation and analysis of the road environment, and subsequently leading to a potential decrease in drivers' situational awareness. This reduced situational awareness may consequently lead to a decline in their overall engagement in driving tasks...
