Collaborate Disseminate
[Peter Holderith] set out some time ago to build an electric go-kart. That by itself is not terribly unusual, but where his project diverts from the usual is in the …read more Continue reading DIY Quad-Motor Go-Kart is a Thrilling Ride
A study has found that older adults newly diagnosed with migraines are more than three times as likely to crash their motor vehicle in the first year after diagnosis than those who’ve never had a migraine. The findings have potential implications for t… Continue reading Newly diagnosed migraine sufferers 3 times as likely to crash their car
After a hard ride, hike, paddle or whatnot, nobody wants to cover their car seat with sweat, dirt or sand. Scuvvers keep them from doing so, by simply flipping forward and folding down from the headrest.Continue ReadingCategory: Outdoors, LifestyleTags… Continue reading Scuvvers seat covers are only deployed when drivers are dirty
If you transport your bike on a car-top rack, there’s a risk that you’ll forget it’s up there, and smash it into a low-hanging garage door or other overhead obstacle. The Veloroof system is designed to greatly reduce that risk.Continue ReadingCategory:… Continue reading Veloroof uses ultrasound to save car-top-carried bikes
If a driver is preoccupied, or if there’s a disruption to their routine, they can forget and leave their baby in their car – if that car then gets too hot, the result can be lethal. The Infalurt Child Safety System is designed to keep such scenarios fr… Continue reading Infalurt warns drivers of babies forgotten in cars
A new study led by researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital has identified a pattern of brain activity that seems to correlate with impairment from cannabis intoxication. The researchers suggest this novel brain-based biomarker could be a way to… Continue reading Roadside brain imaging could assess cannabis driving impairment
Although we’ve seen several systems that use vehicle-integrated cameras to detect intoxicated drivers, a team of Japanese scientists claim that such technology isn’t always reliable. Their alternative? A drunk-driver-detecting car seat.Continue Reading… Continue reading Pressure-sensing seat may one day detect drunk drivers
A new meta-study, led by researchers from the University of Sydney’s Lambert Initiative, has concluded blood or saliva THC concentrations are not effective ways to measure cannabis-induced driving impairment. The findings suggest the need for more nuan… Continue reading Blood or saliva THC levels found to be poor sign of driving impairment
A fascinating new study from a team of US researchers has used machine learning techniques to develop algorithms that can analyze naturalistic driving data and detect mild cognitive impairment and dementia in a driver. The work is still in the preliminary stages, however, the researchers claim it could be possible in the future to detect early signs of dementia using either a smartphone app or devices incorporated into car software systems.
