Reconstructions of accidents at road junctions revealed in a study that an additional brake light at the front of the vehicle would have prevented up to 17 per cent of collisions.

AeroDelft, a fully student-run and student-owned non-profit foundation based in Delft, has become the first student team in the world to design, build, and test an electric aircraft propulsion system (powertrain) using liquid hydrogen as its energy source.

Widespread adoption of electric vehicles poses a financial risk to India's leading automotive firms unless they can adapt to the change.

It's a small signal with a big impact: the first radar-based system that detects children left in vehicles.

TU/e researchers state: "The debate over the conflicts between fatbikes, mopeds, and bicycles overshadows the real problem: cars get too much space.

The new method optimises the technical design with regard to classic objectives such as costs, efficiency and package space requirements and also takes greenhouse gas emissions along the entire supply chain into account.

Although electric vehicles (EVs) present a considerable opportunity to lower greenhouse gas emissions, EVs currently only account for 1% of vehicles on the road in the U.S. One reason c

Special report describes targets for advancing technologically feasible and economically viable strategies.

People who live close to airports and are exposed to high aircraft noise levels could be at greater risk of poor heart function, increasing the likelihood of heart attacks, life-threatening heart rhythms and strokes, according to a new study led by UCL researchers. The study, published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC), looked at detailed heart imaging data from 3,635 people who lived close to four major airports in England.

Whether sustainable mobility, the best possible medical care or new approaches and solutions in IT: outstanding and forward-looking research for a green and digital transformation in Europe is the focus of TU Ilmenau's Scientific Year 2025 "Research for Europe".

AI system can envision an entire world from a single picture AI model created by Johns Hopkins computer scientists imagines in-depth scenarios based on a single image to make informed decisions Johns Hopkins computer scientists have created an artificial intelligence system capable of "imagining" its surroundings without having to physically explore them, bringing AI closer to humanlike reasoning.

MIT engineers developed the largest open-source dataset of car designs, including their aerodynamics, that could speed design of eco-friendly cars and electric vehicles.

From the lab to the road: Highly automated research vehicle (SAE level 4) ready for testing in real-world traffic Whether for the trip to the doctor, shopping, or commuting to work: many people rely on local public transport in their everyday lives.

Electric cars are no longer a rarity on the roads. But on Swiss construction sites, electrically powered excavators or trucks are still a rarity.

Solar panels have the power to make the aviation industry greener than it's ever been, but they can also impose challenges for pilots and air traffic control. Fortunately, University of Waterloo researchers are discovering ways to make this vital source of clean energy work for airports around the world.

Scientists at TU Delft have developed a new model that better describes human behaviour when merging into motorway traffic.

Ding Zhao is teaming up with the City of Pittsburgh to improve road safety and eliminate traffic fatalities using AI.

As species go extinct and a habitable climate teeters, it's understandable to feel despair. Some of the world's top climate scientists have expressed their mounting hopelessness at the prospect of reaching 3°C by 2100.

Surface residues pose the main risk, possibly heightened by fast turnarounds There is no evidence for the commonly held belief that nut allergens can be spread through aircraft ventilation systems, s

Installations featured include AI motor imagery, autonomous driving, a recyclable car, and a biosimulator for breast cancer detection, amongst others.

Student team TU/ecomotive hopes to inspire car manufacturers with Phoenix, as new legislation from Brussels is on the way.

A UCL engineer, who designed and built his own electric motorbike, is the first person to complete two of the UK's most historic motoring trials, the Edinburgh Trial and the Land's End Trial, with an electric vehicle of any kind.

Bridges in New York, California, and Georgia are among United States bridges with the most traffic from the largest ships, according to a new and unprecedented data mining effort, the first step in an

The number of electric vehicles (EVs) is increasing worldwide. The use of EVs can play an important role in achieving zero-emission goals.

The MIT Electric Vehicle Team, Sustainable Engine Team, Solar Electric Vehicle Team, Motorsports Team, First Nations Launch Team, and Arcturus are each doing their part to improve the health of our planet.

For a long time, large engines only knew one operating condition: full load. Nowadays, though, they are used much more flexibly and can effectively balance fluctuating electricity production, in particular from renewable energy sources.

Writing in The Conversation, PhD candidate Alice Plebe (UCL Computer Science), argues that new AI systems with language capabilities could be key to making driverless cars reason and behave more like human drivers.

Researchers from Graz University of Technology and "sicher unterwegs" are providing precise data on the movement patterns of children travelling on foot in road traffic.

During a major storm event that eventually cut power to tens of thousands of homes, a fleet of electric vehicles (EVs) were able to feed power back into Australia's electricity grid, according to  a new report  from The Australian National University (ANU).
