The regulations that set fuel-economy and greenhouse-gas emission goals for cars and trucks have lower costs and higher benefits than previous analyses report, a new study shows..
Drivers find it difficult to ignore a ringing phone but do ignore the dangers, with a new study revealing almost 50 percent believe locating and answering a ringing phone is not as risky as talking and texting. Research has found locating a ringing phone,.
A new drone uses cutting-edge technology to deliver parcels weighing up to 500 grams. The device will never get stuck in traffic, it’s programmed to avoid obstacles, and it can reach destinations on steep or uneven terrain. Its protective cage and f.
Researchers are looking at advanced materials for roads and pavements that could generate electricity from passing traffic. Engineers are working on smart materials such as 'piezolectric' ceramics that when embedded in road surfaces would be abl.
Putting a dollar value on the savings from traffic congestion, noise and air pollution as a result of toll roads and tunnels will make large infrastructure projects more cost effective, according to a new study..
A pilot study illustrates the high economic cost of having too few safe places for commercial truck drivers to park and rest..
A new study has quantified the impact speeding and slamming on the brakes has on fuel economy and consumption. Aggressive behavior behind the wheel can lower gas mileage in light-duty vehicles, which can equate to losing about $0.25 to $1 per gallon..
Researchers are working to improve the reliability and fault tolerance of intelligent vehicle systems by combining the data they gather with that from other vehicles. This can, for example, extend the field of view of a car that is behind another car. Usi.
Ride-hailing services reduce drunk-driving crashes in some cities, reports a new study. The research is the first to look at the specific effects of ride-hailing, or 'ride-sharing,' within specific cities, rather than averaging data across multi.
Many of the infotainment features in most 2017 vehicles are so distracting they should not be enabled while a vehicle is in motion, according to a new study. The study found In-Vehicle Information Systems take drivers' attention off the road for too .
For decades municipal and regional governments have used various traffic management strategies to reduce vehicle emissions, alongside advancements like cleaner fuel and greener cars. But not all traffic management strategies are created equal, says transp.
Structural testing of a glulam timber girder bridge confirmed that they are viable, cost-effective options for replacing bridges on low-traffic county and township road..
Confusion over what is a 'safe following distance' has road safety researchers calling for a standardized definition to prevent tailgating..
It is time to stop discussing whether electric cars are good or bad. Instead industry, authorities and policy-makers need to work together to make them as eco-friendly as possible. One researcher now provides concrete advice and tools showing how life cyc.
Researchers have brought a new method into the sound-dampening fold, demonstrating an origami lattice prototype that can potentially reduce acoustic noise on roadways. The technique allows researchers to selectively dampen noise at various frequencies by .
Ben-Gurion University Introduces Israel's First Underwater Robotic Vehicle at NextTech Conference 2017.
New software could tell drivers when their cars need a tuneup, a new air filter, wheel balancing or a tire replacement, just by using a smartphone..
Countdown timers that let motorists know when a traffic light will go from green to yellow lead to safer responses from drivers, research suggests..
Autonomous vehicles should only have to be moderately better than human drivers before being widely used in the United States, an approach that could save thousands of lives annually even before the technology is perfected, according to a new report..
Chinese driving schools are currently experiencing a strong demand, the number of learner drivers is growing constantly. A new type of driving simulator based on a car modified for virtual training of learner drivers in advance and an automatic feedback i.
