Automobile safety

A policy or program may either be a Pareto improvement, or it is not (Chou & Talmain, 1996). Protecting the automobile industry from cheap foreign imports by imposing quotas on the number of imported cars is a Pareto improvement. This is because having high quality cars will benefit many and help to ensure the vehicle safety of individuals. Reducing cheap foreign imports would have a positive impact on reducing externalities involving vehicles and roads. Increasing…

These are not the flying cars, which mean that, they can fly in the sky and also they can drive on the road. These technologies were aimed to make people free from pollution and traffic jams. This is the dream since the period of the planes and the automobiles. Many popular sciences in 1926 cover this idea. Henry Ford assured…

Eating and driving has been proven to be very distracting while driving. A study done by, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) concluded that, “those who eat and drive increase the odds of an accident by 80%! They also concluded that 65% of near miss accidents are caused by distracted drivers fussing with food and drinks.” (drive-safely.net). Surprisingly…

The available technology points toward the use of lead/acid batteries to supply the power for ZEVs. The negative consequences associated with lead/acid batteries are numerous. For example, lead/acid batteries contain a large amount of lead. When the life of the battery is lost, the disposal of the lead within the battery must be dealt with appropriately. An analysis by researchers at Carnegie-Mellon found that the mass production of electric cars using lead/acid battery packs would exponentially…

Automobiles have not changed much in the last 60 years. While they have gotten faster, safer, and more efficient, there have not been any major changes in the technology used since the first cars were brought to market in the early 1900s. They still use an internal combustion engine, use gasoline as fuel, emit exhaust that harms the environment, require fueling up at gas stations, need oil changes, and have many moving parts, making it more likely something breaks and needs repaired. It is time…

Patient Safety Regina Georgeson 9/15/15 Patient safety is what everything in healthcare revolves around. It should be practiced in every step that a nurse takes at work to care for a patient to reach their individual outcomes without medical error. Patient safety is commonly defined as, “freedom from psychological and physical injury. “ There are multiple ways that patient safety can be breached as evidenced by the thousands of deaths seen each year because of malpractice. Due to…

Americans love their automobiles, and we've all had chips and scratches in our automobile paint. Not only can they distract from your car's beauty, but they also make your car susceptible to rust and environmental damage. Scratches and auto body damage can come from a rock being thrown from a semi or from someone who is in a hurry at the grocery store who dings your car with a shopping cart. The truth of the matter is that most of these accidents are avoidable, here's how to properly fix auto…

SCIENCES FACULTY OF SOCIETY AND ECONOMICS Innovation Case Study WS 2015/2016 Module “Elective Subjects” Course “Innovation Management” Dr Oliver Serfling SEL 1. INTRODUCTION: ORIGINS AND RATIONALE If you ask someone about inventions in the automobile sector or simply about the future of cars, probably you will hear a story about electric and hybrid cars. Nevertheless, there is one another branch the attention should be drawn to. Nowadays the previously incredible concept of…

Q1. I will address this question by examining some relevant forces from the PESTEL model and Porters 5 Forces analyses (as shown in Appendix 1 and 2.). From a political standpoint, new CO2 rules are being put in place in Europe and the US to tax vehicles that don’t reach strict target efficiencies (1) (EV companies are exempt). California is also providing EV companies with ‘zero emission credits’. In contrast however, the recent drop in the global fuel price is making fossil fuel vehicles more…

prevalent safety improvement strategies in healthcare. However, IRS have proven to be inherently problematic as clinicians and health scientists struggle with issues affecting IRS’ perceived and actual utility. Problems arise due to the fact “sentinel/ seminal/never events/adverse events” (all terms to describe events that should not happen in healthcare) are usually uncommon and difficult to detect. IRS are prone to biases and create high-cost information and are that clinicians, patient safety…
