“…However, the validity of this assumption is unknown, and there may be important differences between earlier and later models other than ESC. Previous studies have varied by selection type, study design, measure of association and geographic location, but all have reported large protective effects 7–9 12. These studies have included a limited number of vehicles and model years, relying on data from a handful of US states and data from the FARS 7 9.…”

“…European-based studies have described a 17% decrease in injury for non-rear-end MVCs, a 17% decrease in at-fault MVCs, and a 44% decrease for loss-of-control crashes 9 – 11. Research indicates that ESC is more effective in reducing single-vehicle crashes and single-vehicle fatal crashes for SUVs than for passenger cars 7 8 12. It has been suggested that ESC is more effective in reducing serious loss-of-control-type MVCs because ESC is not engaged in low-speed MVCs and its ability to stabilize vehicles is maximized when they are traveling at high speeds with less control 9…”

“…Whereas some studies failed to include SUVs and vans, others included a limited number of SUV and van models 7 8 12. In addition, earlier research has relied on data from the NHTSA’s Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS), which collects information only on fatal MVCs in the USA; although results suggest protective effects of ESC, these studies can only be generalized to fatal rollover MVCs 8.…”

“…Farmer7 relied on police accident reports (PARs) from 10 US states to compare MVC rates before and after the introduction of ESC for a limited number of vehicle model types. Greene and Woodrooffe12 used US national data from PARs to examine differences in loss-of-control crashes for SUVs. The aim of this study is to enhance existing research by using a large national database to examine the effectiveness of ESC systems in passenger cars and SUVs/vans in reducing the risk of rollover overall and in single-vehicle MVCs regardless of severity of injury sustained.…”

“…The tool that is most closely related to reducing rollover accidents is ESC, and its effectiveness in preventing vehicle accidents has been demonstrated by several studies (ERKE, 2008;PAPELIS;WATSON;BROWN, 2010;HØYE, 2011), being that for sport utility vehicles (SUVs) this reduction may be extreme (GREEN;WOODROOFFE, 2006). This can be explained by both the avoidance of loss of vehicle control (LOC), which often leads to overcorrection by the driver, and the reduced chance of road departures, which can cause tripped rollovers, the most common type of such accidents (U.S. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, 2020c).…”

Aplicamos controle de segurança crítica a controle eletrônico de estabilidade, com foco em estabilidade lateral. As vantagens inerentes de controle eletrônico de estabilidade de veículos automotores e as restrições intrínsecas de segurança presentes em sistemas de emergência justificam a proposta. Os fundamentos de dinâmica e estabilidade veicular são apresentados, subdivididos em dinâmica de pneus, corpo e chassi, e controle. Segue uma introdução à teoria de funções de controle de barreira, apresentando suas propriedades, vantagens, e limitações. Inicialmente, aprimoramos e corrigimos métodos de geração de regiões de estabilidade lateral. Após, estendemos teoria de controle de segurança crítica baseada em funções de barreira de controle para acomodar controle eletrônico de estabilidade usando esterçamento ativo e frenagem diferencial. Por fim, investigamos a viabilidade de funções de barreira de controle para estabilidade veicular após as referidas extensões, concluindo que os requisitos são satisfeitos. Validamos as propostas através de simulação usando modelos cada vez mais complexos, desde modelos de segunda ordem linearizados a softwares comerciais de simulação veicular. Palavras-chave: Dinâmica veicular.

Parameters for Safer Gambling Behavior: Examining the Empirical Research

2008

There have been claims that new gambling technology is hazardous to player health, and that technological interventions can alleviate gambling-related harm. In this paper, we systematically review the empirical research about the nexus between gambling and technology to evaluate the veracity of these claims. We use a public health perspective (i.e., the Epidemiologic Triangle) to organize and present study results (i.e., agent, host, and environment). This review intends to offer insight about emerging technology and identify areas that indicate a need for additional research. Forty-seven studies met our inclusion and exclusion criteria; a review of this body of work shows that attempts to develop and implement safety features for new gambling technology are promising, but methodologically are rudimentary and limited in scope. Increased attention to the dynamic interaction among host, agent, and environment factors hold potential to advance the field. In addition, improved study methods (e.g., longitudinal analyses of actual betting behavior), and collaboration among policymakers, manufacturers, and researchers can increase understanding of how new gambling technology affects the public health and stimulate new strategies for implementing effective public health interventions.
