Car seats sold by online retailers may not have passed U.S. safety standards. Signs of a fake include no labels or manuals, and three contact points instead of five. Families can check the reliability of their car seat at CHLA’s car seat inspections.You never forget your first experience with a counterfeit car seat, Helen Arbogast, PhD, MPH, can attest.
In a significant leap forward for vehicle navigation, researchers have developed an advanced system that integrates Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), Inertial Measurement Units (IMU), and Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) Odometry (LO).
Severely injured Black, Asian and Hispanic children and adults are less likely than white patients to receive critical helicopter ambulance services, which can make the difference between life and death, according to a study presented at the ANESTHESIOLOGY® 2024 annual meeting.
Researchers at NYU Tandon School of Engineering have developed HuBar, a visual analytics tool that summarizes and compares task performance sessions in augmented reality (AR) by analyzing performer behavior and cognitive workload.
Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the National Energy Technology Laboratory have developed and 3D printed the lightest crack-free alloy capable of operating without melting at temperatures above 2400 degrees Fahrenheit. This milestone could enable additively manufactured turbine blades to better handle extreme temperatures, reducing the carbon footprint of gas turbine engines such as those used in airplanes.
Until 2024, China's three major airline, China Southern Airlines, China Eastern Airlines and Air China have adopted the C919 aircraft, making the commercial operation of the country's first domestically developed large passenger aircraft from Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC).
Known for its ability to withstand extreme environments and high voltages, silicon carbide (SiC) is a semiconducting material made up of silicon and carbon atoms arranged into crystals that is increasingly becoming essential to modern technologies like electric vehicles, renewable energy systems, telecommunications infrastructure and microelectronics.
The Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) has awarded $600,000 to Penn State’s Silicon Carbide Innovation Alliance (SCIA) to develop a series of educational courses, workshops, and paid academic and industrial internships focused on workforce development in Pennsylvania for the growing semiconductor industry.
Ship-mounted camera systems provide real-time detection and increased response time, can reduce the number of whales killed by vessel strikes
Dr. Kyung Tae Kim from the Nano Materials Research Division at KIMS, has developed a bismuth telluride (Bi-Te) based thermoelectric material with artificially formed atomic-scale defects and proposed a solution to improve its properties in order to harness wasted thermal energy.
A research team examines the extent of damage and associated costs on the 2020 Labor Day wildfires in Washington, Oregon, and California, comparing with the historical impact of megafires in these states.
For the first time, researchers have applied the three-way decisions method and behavioral decision-making theory to solve the problem of rebalancing the bike-sharing system. This method can effectively improve the authenticity and reliability of decision-making results and reduce the risk of decision-making mistakes.
As pedestrian fatalities in the United States reach a 40-year high, a novel approach to measuring crosswalk lengths across entire cities could provide urban planners with crucial data to improve safety interventions. NYU Tandon School of Engineering researchers Marcel Moran and Debra F. Laefer published the first comprehensive, city-wide analysis of crosswalk distances.
The University of Delaware is part of a joint effort involving energy and automotive partners that has launched the first practical pilot of “vehicle-to-grid” power (V2G) set up so that industrial participants can scale it at low cost. V2G technology was invented at UD.
Solving the Urban Air Mobility Problem
The Korea joint research team has achieved a groundbreaking advancement in the manufacturing technology of air ducts for automotive cockpit modules.
Research shows a clear shift in transportation choices under extreme heat conditions. Car use increases, while trips made by walking, biking and public transit drop significantly. On average, public transit trips fall by nearly 50% on extreme heat days as individuals seek relief in air-conditioned private vehicles.
Natural selection has driven arthropods to evolve compound eyes to achieve static and dynamic perceptions in complex environments. This inspired scientists from HK to develop a biomimetic artificial compound eye (ACE), which integrates 271 lensed polymer optical fibres into a dome-like structure, achieving real-time 180o panoramic imaging, depth estimation, and high-speed motion capture. These characteristics make this ACE suitable for applications to capture high-speed objects, such as surveillance, unmanned aerial/ground vehicles, and virtual reality.
A research team led by Georgia Tech’s Hailong Chen has developed a low-cost iron chloride cathode for all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries, which could significantly reduce costs and improve performance for electric vehicles and large-scale energy storage systems.
Three transportation researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have been elevated to senior member grade of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, or IEEE. Group leader Ross Wang and R&D staff member Adian Cook, both in Applied Research for Mobility Systems, received the honor along with Majbah Uddin, R&D staff member in Transportation Analytics and Decision Sciences.
