 New UN Regulation to enhance Safety of Transport of Children in Buses and CoachesThe majority of the buses and coaches currently in use worldwide are not equipped with safety-belts. And if they are, they are equipped with safety-belts designed to protect adults by means of 2-point or 3-point harness seat belts. These types of safety-belts are not suitable for use on and by children because they could lead to serious injuries and event fatalities in road crashes.

Vehicles with especially tall front ends are most dangerous to pedestrians, but a blunt profile makes medium-height vehicles deadly too, new research from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety shows. Whatever their nose shape, pickups, SUVs and vans with a hood height greater than 40 inches are about 45 percent more likely to cause fatalities in pedestrian crashes than cars and other vehicles with a hood height of 30 inches or less and a sloping profile, an IIHS study of nearly 18,000 pedestrian crashes found.
The NTSB investigation into a multivehicle collision in North Las Vegas, Nevada, 2022 that resulted in nine fatalities has led the board to recommend a requirement for intelligent speed assistance technology in all new cars. The board issued the recommendations at a public board meeting after determining the crash was caused by excessive speed, drug-impaired driving and Nevada's failure to deter the driver's speeding recidivism due to systemic deficiencies, despite numerous speeding citations.
The first statistically realistic roadway simulation has been developed by researchers at the University of Michigan. While it currently represents a particularly perilous roundabout, future work will expand it to include other driving situations for testing autonomous vehicle software. The simulation is a machine-learning model that trained on data collected at a roundabout in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Within the scope of the C-ROADS project, Fraunhofer IVI invited its Hamburg project partners to Dresden for a workshop. Together with their colleagues from the Hamburg Agency of Roads, Bridges and Water and the Hamburg Verkehrsanlagen GmbH, the institute's employees discussed the implementation of the VRU C-ITS Service for the protection of vulnerable road users. The VRU service is a promising service that can help realize "Vison Zero" in the context of accidents involving bike riders and pedestrians.
The new generation of fully electric Volvo cars is hardware designed, but software-defined. This creates exciting new models like the flagship EX90 SUV and the small yet mighty EX30 SUV that become better over time thanks to regular, over-the-air software updates. As part of that strategy, Volvo continuously invests in in-house software development and testing capabilities. Today, Volvo reveals one of their biggest investments to date: a new, state-of-the-art software testing center in Gothenburg, Sweden that amplifies their capacity for integrated software testing at all levels.
The Chomerics Division of Parker Hannifin reports that its CHO-MUTE 9005 and 9025 elastomer-based microwave absorber materials successfully protect advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) from electromagnetic interference (EMI), a vital requirement for these life-saving and increasingly essential systems.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration withdraws a previous proposal to create a new Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard requiring vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications in new light vehicles. After the advent of new V2V communications protocol, and after a recent Federal Communications Commission (FCC) decision regarding the regulations governing the 5.850 5.895 gigahertz (5.9 GHz) band, the agency has decided to 
Researchers from MIT, the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab, and elsewhere have developed a more efficient computer vision model that vastly reduces the computational complexity of this task. Their model can perform semantic segmentation accurately in real-time on a device with limited hardware resources, such as the on-board computers that enable an autonomous vehicle to make split-second decisions.
Older individuals face a heightened susceptibility to trauma compared to other age groups, primarily due to an increased fatality risk resulting from physical impacts as they age. When a collision occurs, it can have more severe consequences for older individuals. Furthermore, older road users often contend with age-related limitations, making it imperative to proactively prevent injuries among this demographic. Achieving this goal necessitates addressing multiple facets, including modifying behaviour, enhancing vehicle safety, and improving infrastructure.
Scania's new digital dashboard Smart Dash is opening the way to smarter, safer and better truck driving experiences for all kinds of drivers. Its modular build and latest digital solutions ensure that Scania trucks offer a secure, connected and comforting atmosphere behind the wheel. Scania drivers will have excellent control over their truck and surroundings, receiving discreet nudges from their smart truck companion whenever a hazard is anticipated or an action is requested.
University of Maryland researchers studying how lithium batteries fail have developed a new technology that could enable next-generation electric vehicles (EVs) and other devices that are less prone to battery fires while increasing energy storage. The innovative method, presented in a paper published in the journal 
Professor Astrid Linder has been named one of the world's 100 most influential and inspiring women by the British BBC. Astrid Linder receives this compliment for her research on traffic safety and the development of the world's first average-sized female crash test dummy. The BBC's international 100-list includes a diverse array of notable individuals in science, culture, sports, and politics.
