This paper provides average brake reaction times for healthy community living adults from 16 to 90+ years of age, divided by gender. Using consistent directions and context, the RT-2S Simple Brake Reaction shows that average brake reactions for males is 0.50 seconds (median = 0.48, minimum = 0.25 maximum = 0.92) and for females is 0.53 seconds (median = 0.51 minimum = 0.30 maximum = 1.36). The use of a brake reaction timer to assess fitness to drive may be useful for clients recovering from orthopedic surgery, while use as a driving determinate of older adults should be done in conjunction with other tools.

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) aim to automate transportation fully. A key part of this automation includes tasks such as traffic light detection and automatic braking. While indoor experiments are prevalent due to computational demands and safety concerns, there is a pressing need for research and development of new features to achieve complete automation, addressing real-world implementation challenges by testing them in outdoor environments.

Increasing the upper cut-off voltage (UCV) enhances the specific energy of Li-ion batteries (LIBs), but is accompanied by higher capacity fade as a result of electrode cross-talk, i.e., transition metals (TM) dissolution from cathode and deposition on anode, finally triggering high surface area lithium (HSAL) formation due to locally enhanced resistance.

Article Synopsis
- Lateral ankle sprains frequently lead to chronic ankle instability (CAI), impacting movement strategies during side-cutting maneuvers in athletes, particularly female soccer players.
- A study involving 25 players (13 with CAI and 12 healthy) revealed that those with CAI had longer stance times and decreased ground reaction forces during specific side-cutting movements, indicating significant differences in their movement dynamics.
- These findings suggest that athletes with CAI may adjust their techniques to compensate for instability, which can inform assessments and rehabilitation strategies after ankle injuries.
One-pedal or two-pedal: Does the regenerative braking system improve driving safety?
Accid Anal Prev

Article Synopsis
- Electric vehicles with regenerative braking offer a one-pedal driving mode that allows for acceleration and deceleration using just the throttle, but research on its effectiveness and safety is still limited.
- A driving simulator study compared driving behavior and safety between one-pedal and traditional two-pedal modes under various urgency levels and situations.
- Findings indicate that while the one-pedal mode is safer in low urgency scenarios, it can lead to delays in braking and become unsafe in high urgency situations, suggesting a need for improvements in regenerative braking systems and the development of collision warning systems.
