What impact does alcohol and other drugs have on traffic collisions? In 1999‚ there were 15‚786 fatalities in alcohol related crashes. This is a 6% decrease compared to 1996‚ and it represents an average of one alcohol-related fatality every 33 minutes. NHTSA estimates that alcohol was involved in 38% of fatal

top of one of several physical layers. Medium access is performed using Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance. However‚ simple CSMA is susceptible to the hidden node problem‚ especially in so called ad hoc networks where a node may communicate directly with every other node in range or using intermediate nodes as relays otherwise. Hidden nodes cause costly packet collisions and thus significantly affect network performance. In order to combat the hidden node problem‚ a mechanism

Recreational vehicles by definition are designed for fun. However‚ that doesn’t mean they don’t need to be insured. You need coverage for your recreational vehicle. Otherwise‚ if something happens to it‚ your investment is lost. Since recreational vehicles aren’t cheap‚ it’s important that you protect yours. Read below to learn more about recreational vehicle insurance: Types of Recreational Vehicles Typically Covered: Of course‚ each insurance company differs slightly on what types of recreational

Crumple zone The purpose of a crumple zone is to increase the amount of time it takes for a car to come to a stop after being hit by an object. Crumple zones cause the force to be spread out over a long period of time‚ reducing the impact that the passengers in the car feel. Crumple zones today are usually made of fibreglass or steel and works during a collision by turning

The crumple zone is a structural feature in which can be mostly found in automobiles. They are constructed to absorb the kinetic energy from impact during an accident by controlled deformation. In order to absorb the impact of a head on collision‚ most of the time crumple zones are designed to be in the front part of a vehicle‚ they can also be found on the rear and sides of vehicles. Isaac Newton’s first law states that an object in motion will stay in motion with the same speed and direction unless

Plaintiff Bourque filed this suit to recover damages for personal injuries received in the collision. Procedural History: The trial court rendered judgement in favor of plaintiff against both defendants(Duplechin and Duplechin’s liability insurer‚ Allstate Insurance Company). Both Duplechin and Allstate contend that the trial court erred:

during the 1980’s. This airbag is placed in different parts of a car‚ around the driver’s seat and the passenger seats. They are positioned in front of the passenger for a frontal collision‚ they are placed on the sides (the doors) for a side collision. The sensors are placed in different areas of the car. When collisions take place‚ these sensors transmit signals to the airbag inflators‚ they then set the airbags off with nitrogen gas inside‚ which makes it like a soft pillow. These airbags help by

When driving on the roads‚ it is important to follow the posted speed limits. The speed limits were picked for a variety of reasons. One of the most important reasons is that the legal speeds are considerably safer than higher speeds. Traffic control establishes a set of rules and regulations that people rely on to help avoid collisions and other hazards. With almost

According to the collision theory‚ the rate of a reaction depends on the frequency of collisions between reacting particles. The more frequent the collisions‚ the faster the rate of the reaction. However‚ in order for the collisions to be effective‚ the particles must collide with sufficient energy (activation energy). Furthermore‚ the particles must collide with the proper orientation. The factors that will be examined in this lab influence reaction rate by either increasing how often collisions occur or
