• Options to extend coverage of alcohol interlock programs

  Monash University Research Portal (Monash University) · 2015-09-01 · 8 citations

  articleOpen access

  Despite high levels of community education and sustained enforcement, alcohol-related crashes and drink-driving offences continue to pose a threat to road safety. Alcohol interlock programs are one element of enforcement. High-range, repeat or other serious drink-driving offenders can be required to fit alcohol interlocks to their vehicles. The interlock is an electronic breath-testing device that prevents the car from starting if alcohol is detected. This report examines the evidence base and d…

• Evaluation of alternative intersection treatments at rural crossroads using simulation software

  Traffic Injury Prevention · 2018-12-17 · 7 citations

  articleOpen access

  OBJECTIVE: Rural roads are characterized by hazardous roadsides and suboptimal geometry yet allow for high travel speeds and unfavorable impact angles. In Victoria, 25% of persons seriously injured and 52% of fatalities occur on rural roads, with 30% occurring at intersections. In the United States, almost twice the number of traffic fatalities occur in rural areas than in urban areas, while accounting for less than half of all vehicle miles traveled and 21% of the population. The choice of safe…

• Robots and Socio-Ethical Implications [Guest Editorial]

  IEEE Technology and Society Magazine · 2018-03-01 · 4 citations

  article

  The articles in this special section focus on the social implications of robotics and artificial intelligence. From lifelike androids to virtual assistants, industrial machines to drones, today’s robot creations, including those in automation, are used to perform any number of specific tasks. These undertakings are repetitive in nature and suggest that we are still a long way from manufacturing “all-purpose” utility robots. History teaches us much about technological innovation and the perils of…
