The level of mobility of older drivers is also increasing. Older drivers begin to noticeably be over-involved in fatal crashes. Intersections appear to be hazardous to older drivers, particularly left turn due to one or more of. sensory, perceptual, cognitive, physical and general driving knowledge deficiencies. The safety concern of older drivers is also becoming significant. Ten years of crash data has been extracted from Kansas accident report system. It has been analyzed using SAS （statistical analysis system） software. Five different age groups have been considered. Comparison has been made between different age groups of the same gender, and the same age group for different gender. Effects of light condition, weather condition, surface type, surface condition, road character and construction/maintenance zone on older drivers＇ safety have also been considered in this study. It has been found out that proportion of older drivers in through movement involved in accident decreases as age increases whereas the proportion of left turn accidents increases with age, left turn is harder for females in all age groups, and proportion of right turn accidents has no specific trend. Most of the accidents have taken place during daylight when there are no adverse weather conditions on dry surface, straight and level road, and blacktop surface type.展开更多

Assuming the stenoses to be mild and using the slip boundary condition, the equations governing the flow of the proposed model are solved, and closed-form expressions for the flow characteristics （resistance to flow and wall shear stress） are derived. The effects of different parameters on these flow characteristics are analyzed. It is observed that both the resistance to the flow and the wall shear stress increase with the heights of the stenoses and the slip parameter; but decrease with the Darcy number, b^rthermore, the effects of the wall exponent parameter, the cross-viscosity coefficient and the micropolar parameter on the flow characteristics are discussed.展开更多
