Henry S. Lane
No full textLane was born in Kentucky in 1811 and moved to Crawfordsville in 1835. His 2-day term as governor was by design. He was chosen to run for governor and Oliver P. Morton for lieutenant governor. They agreed that if the Republicans won control of the state general assembly, Lane would be elected to the U.S. Senate and Morton would serve as governor. This outcome was achieved. Lane died in 1881 and is buried in Crawfordsville.Use of this image is restricted to IHS reference purposes only. IHS may not reproduce.

Toolbox of Countermeasures for Rural Two-Lane Curves, June 2012
No full textThe Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) estimates that 58 percent of roadway fatalities are lane departures, while 40 percent of fatalities are single-vehicle run-off-road (SVROR) crashes. Addressing lane-departure crashes is therefore a priority for national, state, and local roadway agencies. Horizontal curves are of particular interest because they have been correlated with increased crash occurrence.
This toolbox was developed to assist agencies address crashes at rural curves. The main objective of this toolbox is to summarize the effectiveness of various known curve countermeasures.
While education, enforcement, and policy countermeasures should also be considered, they were not included given the toolbox focuses on roadway-based countermeasures. Furthermore, the toolbox is geared toward rural two-lane curves.
The research team identified countermeasures based on their own research, through a survey of the literature, and through discussions with other professionals. Coverage of curve countermeasures in this toolbox is not necessarily comprehensive.
For each countermeasure covered, this toolbox includes the following information: description, application, effectiveness, advantages, and disadvantages
Evaluating user response to in-car haptic feedback touchscreens using the Lane Change Test
No full textTouchscreen interfaces are widely used in modern technology, from mobile devices to in-car infotainment systems. However, touchscreens impose significant visual workload demands on the user which have safety implications for use in cars. Previous studies indicate that the application of haptic feedback can improve both performance of and affective response to user interfaces. This paper reports on and extends the findings of a 2009 study conducted to evaluate the effect of different combinations of touchscreen visual, audible and haptic feedback on driving and task performance, affective response and subjective workload, the initial findings of which were originally published in [8]. A total of 48 non-expert users completed the study. A dual-task approach was applied, using the Lane Change Test as the driving task and realistic automotive use case touchscreen tasks. Results indicated that while feedback type had no effect on driving or task performance, preference was expressed for multimodal feedback over visual alone. Issues with workload and cross-modal interaction were also identified

Measurement of the ratio of prompt χ c to J / ψ production in pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV
No full textThe prompt production of charmonium χ c and J / ψ states is studied in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of √s = 7 TeV at the Large Hadron Collider. The χ c and J / ψ mesons are identified through their decays χ c → J / ψ γ and J / ψ → μ + μ - using 36 pb - 1 of data collected by the LHCb detector in 2010. The ratio of the prompt production cross-sections for χ c and J / ψ, σ (χ c → J / ψ γ) / σ (J / ψ), is determined as a function of the J / ψ transverse momentum in the range 2 < p T J / ψ < 15 GeV / c. The results are in excellent agreement with next-to-leading order non-relativistic expectations and show a significant discrepancy compared with the colour singlet model prediction at leading order, especially in the low p T J / ψ region

Roadworks Warning – Closure of a Lane, the impact of C-ITS messages
No full textBy now, it is widely acknowledged among stakeholders and academia that infrastructures will have to be composed both by a physical component and a digital one. The deployment of technologies exploiting dedicated short-range communications is viewed as the most cost-effective solution to face the foreseen growth of mobility. Still, little has been done to define the best implementation logic of DSRC. Aim of this paper is to frame the possible impacts arising by the implementation of a cooperative intelligent transport system (C-ITS)-use case: roadworks warning—closure of a lane, and, in order to achieve this result, microsimulations are exploited. The results are intended to support both road operators and car-makers in defining the best operational logics and the possible benefits achievable by presenting the cooperative message at a certain distance for certain market penetrations. Moreover, if the C-ITS message actually entails benefits or simply disrupts the upstream traffic should be assessed in advance, before implementing the system. The obtained results show that the risk of disruption and of reduction in traffic efficiency arises at lower market penetration levels. Nevertheless, a consistent trend in delay reduction is recorded upstream the roadworks, the highest reduction being equal to 8.66%. Moreover, the average speed at the roadworks entrance on the closing lane increases by a difference equal to around 10 km/h, while the average time in the queue at the highest market penetration reduces by 60 s on the open lane and 25 s on the closing one. These presented results reflect the way the traffic shifts from the slow to the fast lane thanks to the C-ITS system and effectively frames both the potentialities and the risks of the system
A new approach to designing lateral collision warning systems
No full textAccording to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), more than 43% of
all fatal accidents reported in 2001 involved a lane or road departure. There are a number of systems on the market that monitor driver lane position or use radar technology to track the position of other drivers. The majority of these systems and available research focuses on the prevention of longitudinal collision or lane departures. In this paper we will discuss a system that reduces the likelihood of a lateral collision. The problem was analysed by a Work Domain Analysis, the first phase of Cognitive Work Analysis. This analysis informed an nterface design that provides the driver with information on the position of other road users; and delivers a time critical warning when the driver is in
a position of impending collision
