Most cars on the road in the present day have some form of “Anti-lock Brake System” (ABS). The Anti-Lock Brake System is a four-wheel system that prevents wheel lock-up by automatically modulating the brake pressure during an emergency stop.
In most situations drivers who try to avoid a car collision will press the brake pedal all the way down to try and prevent a collision. While this way of trying to avoid a collision can work in some scenarios; in most cases the sudden pressure from braking instantly will lock the wheels. This results in loss of traction, therefore friction between the tyres and road decreases. When a car’s wheels lock up, a larger distance is needed to stop, and the driver has no ability to steer as the tyres cannot grip
This increases the chances of a sideswipe accident. Another issue is when the other vehicles move away from the motorcycle to avoid an accident and they hit another vehicle head-on. Because of the circumstances involved in lane splitting, multiple vehicles could end up involved in the accident resulting in major injuries. Even if the motorcycle rider moves alongside vehicles that are stopped at a traffic light, the rider could hit the side mirror on a vehicle or lose control due to road conditions.
A very interesting man who was born in February 16, 1839 in Stoughton, was Ellis Drake, who according to a story in Boston Sunday Globe in 1909 invented a two-piece figure-eight stitched baseball cover. Ellis Drake was the only son of a shoemaker named John Ellis Drake who was married to Susan S. (Treadwell) Drake.
The Death Trap Trail During the early 1800s, a 2,200 trail was used to travel from Oregon to Illinois(or vice versa) for Americans migrants to claim land and settle on the other side. Fur trappers and traders laid out the trail and were the ones to establish it. Migrants used the trail to seek a better life on the other side. The use of this trail was one of the important events of our American History.
Stop and Frisk is one of the most controversial police procedures implemented in New York City. This is a limited search where the police officer confronts a person that he or she deems suspicious with the goal being crime prevention. The police officer does this by patting the person down for weapons, as well as questioning the individual. However, the people stopped are predominantly Black and Latino.
After reading through the information given to me, the benefits and hindrance of using UCR, NIBRS, and NCVS are... The pros of participating in NIBRS (National Incident-Based Reporting System ) is that the NIBRS can provide almost any kind of information of nearly all the major cases such as terrorism, abuse, assault, and etc. The information they produce is detailed, accurate and meaningful than others. Also, they help agencies to work together to find a solution or strategies to the case.
Crash research was coming to the conclusion that an inflatable airbag (often called SRS - supplemental restraint system) may assist seat belts and shoulder harnesses. Originally designed the way it is operating now, the airbag inflates rapidly during a collision providing an energy absorbing surface between the occupant and the steering wheel, instrumental panel, and headliner and windshield. It quickly deflates upon impact with a hard object or rapid deceleration. During a crash, the crash sensors provide the airbag electronic controller unit (ECU) the angle, severity of the impact and the collision type. The ECU determines whether the crash meets the criteria for deployment.
The act of “Stop and Frisk” began in the early 1900’s when crime rates began to escalate in major cities such as New York, Chicago, and Philadelphia. Stop, question, and frisk, or SQF, is an urban policing measure that involves the large-scale deployment of officers in public spaces (e.g., sidewalks, alleys, the communal outdoor spaces of public housing) tasked with conducting frequent investigative stops (Huq, A. Z. (2017). In the articles provided, it is questioned whether New York’s stop and frisk policy is constitutional or not. I agree with the court's ruling, I believe Judge Scheindlin seemed too involved. “Judge Shira A. Scheindlin, the appeals court said, jeopardized "the appearance of partiality ... by a series of media interviews and public statements purporting to respond publicly to criticism of the District Court”
Understanding the Physics behind Motor Vehicle Design Air Bags Caitlin Woodward Air Bags Air bags are desinged to protect the passengers in a head-on collision. Most cars today have multiple driver airbags and one on the passengers side as well. They are located in the steering wheel area on the drivers side and on the dashboard on the dashboard on the passenger side, the air bags will respond in a millisecond of a crash.
It is when all these features work to reduce the impact on the driver that injury is most commonly avoided.
When a driverless car is faced with an unavoidable collision, a driverless car could do one of three things; the car could swerve left and hit an elderly woman, swerve right
Heavy rain or snow can cause them to lose control due to the street and cars no longer able to be seen clearly. They begin to lose control from trying to stay on the road, leading to an accident. Since older people have worse vision than younger people, they have a more difficult time driving through the rain or snow. Elderly drivers may also decide to avoid driving during the bad weather conditions, but weather is spontaneous. If bad weather suddenly occurs while they’re driving, they will not be able to stop and immediately lead to panic.
Do you ever think about the negatives and positives of driving in the winter and summer? Driving is such a common activity that you don’t stop to think about the weather, unless there is some type of inconvenience. Do you know what season is better to drive in? Ill let you be the judge of that.
When a person takes their eyes off of the road, anything can happen in just one second. Speeding makes things worse because humans have less time to react when the vehicle is going a high speed rate. The most common distractions include radio, cell phones, and passengers. There is a system that is called the Smith System, which has five steps about being safe on the road. The longer it takes to stop the vehicle is longer than it takes to speed up the vehicle.
Adaptive driving Beam is a lighting system which automatically switches the driving beam pattern to low during driving when it detects object or car coming from the other lane coming towards the car. It helps prevent light beams from being directed toward proceeding or oncoming cars and at the same time maintaining good visibility for the safety of the driver. When the car is near preceding or oncoming vehicles, the on-board camera will detect them. The lighting is automatically adjusted in response to another vehicle that was being detected. It will change the light pattern to block the light where the vehicle is located.
First Law also known as Law Of Inertia. Inertia explains why you move forward in your seat when a car stops suddenly. When the car stops , inertia keeps you moving forward. A force such as the pull of a seat belt , is required to change
