Driving with pets and motor vehicle collision involvement among older drivers: A prospective population-based study

ObjectiveDistracted driving is a major cause of motor vehicle collision (MVC) involvement. Pets have been identified as potential distraction to drivers, particularly in the front. This type of distraction could be worse for those with impairment in the cognitive aspects of visual processing. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the association between driving with pets and rates of motor vehicle collision involvement in a cohort of older drivers.MethodsA three-year prospective study was conducted in a population-based sample of 2000 licensed drivers aged 70 years and older. At the baseline visit, a trained interviewer asked participants about pet ownership, whether they drive with pets, how frequently, and where the pet sits in the vehicle. Motor vehicle collision (MVC) involvement during the three-year study period was obtained from the Alabama Department of Public Safety. At-fault status was determined by the police officer who arrived on the scene. Participants were followed until the earliest of death, driving cessation, or end of the study period. Poisson regression was used to calculate crude and adjusted rate ratios (RR) examining the association between pet ownership, presence of a pet in a vehicle, frequency of driving with a pet, and location of the pet inside with vehicle with any and at-fault MVC involvement. We examined whether the associations differed by higher order visual processing impairment status, as measured by Useful Field of View, Trails B, and Motor-free Visual Perception Test.ResultsRates of crash involvement were similar for older adults who have ever driven with a pet compared to those who never drove with their pet (RR = 1.15, 95% CI 0.76–1.75). Drivers who reported always or sometimes driving with their pet had higher MVC rates compared to pet owners who never drive with a pet, but this association was not statistically significant (RR = 1.39, 95% CI 0.86–2.24). In terms of location, those reporting having a pet frequently ride in the front of the vehicle had similar rates of MVC involvement compared to those who did not drive with a pet in the front. A similar pattern of results was observed for at-fault MVCs. This association was not modified by visual processing impairment status.ConclusionThe current study demonstrates a positive but non-significant association between frequently driving with pets and MVC involvement. More research is needed, particularly on restraint use and whether the pet was in the car at the time of the crash, to help characterize the public safety benefit of regulations on driving with pets.

基于客户端MVC模式的RIA WebGIS框架设计与应用

WebGIS与RIA(Rich Internet Applications)技术的结合,可以提高系统的交互性和用户体验。但目前,缺乏一个RIA WebGIS下的MVC体系结构,对客户端系统进行MVC模式分层。在研究WebGIS的技术特点,分析现有RIAMVC框架的基础上,提出一种面向前端MVC的RIA WebGIS四层框架,并对该框架的模型层次和关键技术进行了剖析。最后将此框架应用于原型系统,验证了该框架的高效性和可扩展性。     

基于DWR的保险项目管理系统的设计与实现

为了解决某保险公司大项目管理的难题,以保险项目具体需求为背景,结合现代保险学的理念和保险公司大项目的流程,开发了基于DWR(direct web remoting)的保险项目管理系统。该系统的实现主要应用Ajax(即异步JavaScript和XML),并通过采用DWR框架减轻了服务器负担,使Ajax与J2EE平台达到了完美整合与无缝连接;通过基于J2EE三层架构体系,采用MVC(模式-视图-控制器)设计模式,加入了Spring框架,使表现层、业务逻辑层和数据库层分开,更易于系统维护与扩展。服务器采用了Weblogic,数据库采用informix。该系统的应用解决了某保险公司大项目管理的难题,提高了工作效率。
