| Fill 'er up: Prototype meter test for hydrogen refueling stations developed Posted: 22 Jul 2014 08:19 AM PDT To support the fair sale of gaseous hydrogen as a vehicle fuel, researchers have developed a prototype field test standard to test the accuracy of hydrogen fuel dispensers. Once the standard is field tested, it will serve as a model for constructing similar devices for state weights and measures inspectors to use.  |
| Innovative system anticipates driver fatigue in the vehicle to prevent accidents Posted: 22 Jul 2014 06:13 AM PDT Scientists have created a devise integrated in smart materials capable of monitoring cardiac and respiratory rhythms in order to prevent drivers from falling asleep.  |
| No evidence that California cellphone ban decreased accidents, says researcher Posted: 17 Jul 2014 11:20 AM PDT No evidence has been found that a California ban on using hand-held cellphones while driving decreased the number of traffic accidents in the state in the first six months following the ban. The findings are surprising given prior research that suggests driving while using a cellphone is risky. For example, past laboratory studies have shown that people who talk on a cellphone while using driving simulators are as impaired as people who are intoxicated.  |
