Abstract:
Preventable childhood injuries and deaths are a major public health problem in the United States. In 2000, the most recent year for which mortality data are available, over 10,000 children from birth to age 18 died from unintentional injuries in the United States and nearly 3,000 from the same age group died from homicide or suicide. According to the Childhood Injury Fact Sheet produced by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), “unintentional injuries are the leading cause of death for children one to 21 years of age.”Preventing child fatalities requires further understanding of the causes and circumstances surrounding child deaths. One mechanism for doing this is multidisciplinary child fatality review teams. These teams exist at the state and local level and perform the functions of identifying, reviewing, and recommending preventive measures to reduce the number of preventable child deaths and life-threatening injuries.

Abstract:
The case fatality was the lowest (3.8%) among 1512 cases with severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in Guangdong Province, China. Rational use of corticosteroid, non–invasive ventilation and the integration of traditional Chinese medicine and modern medicine may partly have contributed to the lowest fatality figure. There was a close linkage between civet cats and humans in terms of transmission of SARS. Strict control of the wild–animal market may be significant in preventing a new outbreak of SARS this year.

Abstract:
Background: Understanding lethality and risk factors of suicide methods is an initial step in suicide prevention. Aims: To investigate the fatality rate and demographic characteristics of various suicide methods. Method: This study enrolled consecutive individuals with episodes of suicide attempts registered in a surveillance database in a city with a high rate of suicide mortality in Taiwan, from January 1, 2006, to December 31, 2010. In total, 3,089 suicide attempt events (including 2,583 nonfatal suicides and 506 completed suicides) occurred during the study period. Results: Overall, the fatality rate of suicides was 16.4%. Charcoal burning accounted for the most suicide deaths (37.6%), with a fatality rate of 50.1%. Suicide by hanging carried the highest fatality rate (81.2%). Males tended to choose more lethal methods and had higher fatality rates compared with females. Elders and married persons were less likely to attempt suicide by charcoal burning. The case fatality ratio increased along with age among suicide attempts, but not in those using charcoal burning. Conclusion: The choice of suicide methods and lethality might be influenced by one’s demographic characteristics. Results from this study may provide clues for establishing suicide prevention strategies such as restricting access to common lethal suicide methods in the high-risk group.

Abstract:
Background: Is the high stroke mortality in the Southeastern parts of the United States driven by differences in stroke incidence or case-fatality? This question remains unanswered. Differences in incidence would underscore the need for stroke prevention, while differences in case fatality would call for improved stroke care. Methods: Quartiles of US counties were defined by stroke mortality, and this gradient was related with stroke incidence and stroke case fatality in the Reasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) Study, where 1,317 incident stroke events (of which 242 were fatal) occurred among 29,650 participants. Results: There was a significant (p = 0.0025) gradient of fatal stroke events in REGARDS (quartile 4 vs. quartile 1 (Q4/Q1) hazard ratio 1.95, 95% CI 1.35-2.81), demonstrating the consistency of REGARDS with national mortality data. The gradient for incident stroke (fatal + nonfatal) was also significant (p = 0.0023; Q4/Q1 hazard ratio 1.29, 95% CI 1.10-1.52). The gradient for stroke case-fatality was marginally significant (p = 0.058), though the OR for Q4/Q1 (1.71, 95% CI 1.13-2.25) was large. Conclusions: Both stroke incidence and case-fatality in REGARDS appear to be contributing, underscoring the need for strengthening both stroke prevention and acute stroke care in order to reduce the disparity.

Abstract:
According to WHO, Sweden should aim to reduce unintentional fatalities, particularly vehicle-related injuries, by 25% by the year 2000. The aim of this thesis was to analyze vehicle-related injuries and injury events, especially the contributory effects of alcohol and disease and the injury reducing capacity of helmets and airbags in order to point out some preventive measures. Alcohol: Alcohol is the main contributing factor in fatal traffic crashes. In a study on 121 traffic fatalities in Washtenaw County, Michigan, USA, different sources of data for alcohol involvement were compared. In police reports alcohol involvement was found in 51% of the fatalities, in autopsy reports in 63%, and in hospital emergency records in 91%. To avoid bias in the estimation of the fraction of alcohol-related fatalities, it is important to routinely investigate all severe and fatally injured cases in traffic crashes, ideally as soon as possible after the crash. In a study on traumatic car fatalities (n=597) in northern Sweden, 58% of the single vehicle (SV) drivers were inebriated (multi-vehicle, MV 10%), the mean blood alcohol concentration (BAC) was 1.9 g /l (MV 1.6 g/1), and liver steatosis was found in 37% of the cases (MV 2%). Increased BAC was associated with fatty liver, indicating chronic alcohol abuse. To reduce injuries among these types of victims, passive protection is of great importance. Disease: Autopsied drivers (n=126) in northern Sweden who had died from natural causes in traffic were studied. This fraction was 25% of all driver fatalities. Cardiovascular causes of death were found in 96% of the deceased. Neither the victims nor other occupants suffered severe traumatic injuries. A minority of the victims had experienced previous symtoms of disease. Further restriction of individuals with, for example, cardiovascular diseases would probably have no significant impact on traffic safety since at present the identification of high-risk individuals is difficult. Helmets: Head injuries in 948 injured bicyclists, including 105 fatalities, were analysed. Head/face injuries were found in 64% of the fatal and 38% of the nonfatal cases with a median age of 55 years and 18 years, respectively. Head trauma was mostly blunt with only a few severe face injuries. Of the nonfatal cases with head injuries, 48% might have had an injury reduction effect if a bicycle helmet had been used, compared with 67% of the fatalities with head injuries. A helmet with a hard shell, chin cover, accurate retention system, that reduces rotation and translation impact is recommended. To increase helmet use among bicyclists, a law is probably the most effective measure as has been shown for motorcyclists. However, head injuries were less frequent among snowmobile riders than among bicyclist and motorcyclist riders, and in most cases the snowmobile riders with head injuries but without helmet had broken other traffic laws, indicating that in this crash category there was a low compliance to compulsary laws. Airbags: In a field study of car crashes where an airbag deployed, the effectiveness of the bag, as well as injuries to the skin and eye from the deployment of the bag, is reported. In laboratory tests with airbag deployment on human volunteers, tethering was found to eliminate skin abrasion within a distance of 250-300 mm. At a distance of 225 mm, the folding technique had the optimal influence on abrasions followed by a marginal effect of tethering. However, injuries due to airbag deployment must be considered as negligible compared with the airbag's role in reduction of severe and fatal injuries.

Abstract:
Globally, construction is considered a hazardous industry with a disproportionate amount of fatal and non-fatal injuries as compared to other industries. Electrocution is named as one of the "fatal four" causes for construction injuries by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). In the United States, an average of 47.9% electrical fatalities occurred in the construction industry from 2003 to 2012, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. These fatalities include both electrical workers and non-electrical workers. Such a disproportionate rate suggests a need of research to improve construction safety and reduce injuries due to electrocution. However, there is a lack of understanding of causation mechanisms surrounding fatal accidents by electrocution using a systems approach; and there is a disconnection between the mechanism of fatal electrocution accidents and the associated control measures, which may lead to less effective prevention in construction. This dissertation has three objectives, including: (a) establishing a sociotechnical system model that reflects the electrocution occurrence in the U.S. construction industry and identify the associations among its internal subsystems; (b) determining specific electrocution patterns and associated mechanism constraints; and (c) examining hierarchy of control (HOC) measures and determining their appropriateness. Findings from his research include: (a) the identification of three system patterns of electrocution in construction work systems and the associations between personnel, technological, organizational/managerial subsystems, and the internal and external environment for each of the three patterns, using a macroergonomics framework; (b) the identification of five features of work, and map out their decision-making chains, critical decision-making points and constraints, as an interpretation of electrocution mechanisms in the workplace; and (c) revealing that behavioral controls remain prevalent in electrical hazard mitigation even though the knowledge of construction safety and health has increased in the past decades, and that the effectiveness of controls is not statistically different by construction type nor occupation. Based on these findings, the research also suggests corresponding mitigation recommendations that construction managers shall strictly follow HOC rules by giving priority to higher level of controls and upgrading the industry's prevention strategy by introducing more technological innovations and encouraging prevention through design (PtD) strategies.

Abstract:
This thesis contributes to the state of understanding about the value of latent health and fatality risk reductions, focussing on the effects of context and latency on the Value of Preventing a Statistical Cancer Fatality (VSLCAN) relative to road accident fatalities. The conceptual, methodological and empirical contributions are derived from two stated preference studies. The studies are designed to explore how the VSLCAN is driven by the context effect, which includes dread of the cause ‘cancer’ and the effects of illness prior to fatality; and the latency (delay) effect which depends upon time preferences and risk preferences. Study 1 develops a Risk-Risk survey protocol, and the resulting central tendency and regression analysis verify that the context of cancer increases the VSL and that latency decreases it. The relativity between VSLCAN and the road accident VSL is then summarised into a simple relationship where the offsetting influences of context and latency are parameterised. This novel tool has the potential to enhance the comparability and evaluation of a wide range of existing and future VSL studies involving context and latency effects through the elicitation of key underlying parameters such as the context premium and effective discount rate. As such it represents a significant methodological contribution. Study 2 focusses directly on two aspects of the latency effect. These relate to risk and time preferences, explored in Studies 2a and 2b respectively. Delayed outcomes are inherently risky, so the exploration of latent outcomes requires controlling for risk preferences. Study 2a develops a theoretical and empirical framework for eliciting risk aversion proxies in the domain of health, which have not previously been fully developed in the literature. The method extends the classic Holt-Laury risk preference elicitation framework into a new domain- health risks- and the method is implemented successfully in Study 2. This chapter therefore makes both conceptual and methodological contributions through clarifying the utility theoretic basis of a health risk aversion measure and then developing a way to elicit such a measure in surveys. Study 2b uses the novel VSLCAN:VSL relationship developed in Study 1 to elicit exponential discount rates from Risk-Risk data comparing latent cancer and road accident risks. Regression analysis performed on these rates on a sample and individual level, provides strong evidence to suggest that a non-standard (sub-additive) discounting model is the most descriptively accurate discounting assumption for this sample. It provides the first evidence regarding sub-additive discounting in the domain of health and fatality risk.

Accident information should be classified into specific categories that can be used as accident analysis program and leads to a decision of what kind of action to take by the inspector. A database is believed to help accident inspector to report an accident and also analyze the information. Therefore, this current study is proposed to develop a database and an accident information system for accident analysis to be used as an educational tool. XAMPP is used as an open platform. Database will be stored in MySQL and php language will be used for the interface. A method of combining narrative text and coded variables are used in this research. Previous researches were used as educational tool to gain user’s knowledge regarding the accident. The results of proposed database is to educate user to know the prevention measure that can be taken for repetitive pattern of accidents.

Abstract:
In public health, prevention is a fundamentally political process as both the selection of problems to be addressed and solutions recommended reflect decisions that are informed by economic, social and cultural forces. Yet prevention is often presented as a monolithic enterprise, an objective and scientific discourse that does not take sides. Behind this facade of political neutrality, diversely positioned individuals and groups often fail to find and/or sustain a common ground for shared prevention initiatives. Increasingly, many prevention awareness campaigns focus upon true accounts or injury narratives that serve both as a catalyst to build multipartite consensus through developing shared collaborative prevention discourses and practices and to mobilize public support for health and safety issues. While the use of the true account form is a recommended strategy in the public health literature directed toward practitioners, the engagement of true accounts in prevention campaigns has not been adequately problematised and examined from a critical social theoretical perspective. A qualitative, sociologically oriented case study of the use of the true account form, the commemorative, in young worker safety campaigns is proposed to deepen our understanding of this particular type of prevention intervention in particular and prevention as an enterprise more generally. The study investigates the socio-historical context in which the Young Worker Memorial LifeQuilt, a Canadian young worker educational initiative, emerged and unraveled as a multipartite prevention campaign centered upon the true account form of consensus commemoratives. A key finding is that true accounts of young workers killed on the job are socially mediated to diffuse blame and build consensus between diversely positioned occupational health and safety practitioners and the family survivors of workplace tragedies. What is included and excluded from these true accounts of workplace injuries, as socially constructed narratives in multipartite prevention awareness campaigns, may be, in part, a product of the terms and conditions negotiated between lead players. The true accounts included in collaborative, cross-institutional prevention campaigns, while referencing real events, may be told in ways that accommodate and harmonize the political perspectives of diversely positioned stakeholders. Conversely, the true account form is a potentially problematic strategy for collaborative prevention discourses and practices, as consensus commemoratives can be retold as critical remembrances of workplace death, with the result that the unifying narrative of a shared, collective memory project is undermined. This dissertation finds that the activity of collaboration shapes prevention as a socio-political activity/practice.

AbstractThe car industry faces some extreme challenges. Alongside the key task that we face of making individual transport climate-neutral, and alongside the new technological opportunities for communication and networking across our whole environment, it is clear that the user behavior of vehicle drivers and of all other road users is also going to change. Bearing all these aspects in mind, our overriding goal remains to make the traffic on our roads safer. Many of the activities in this context are summarized in the Mercedes-Benz “Vision of accident-free driving.” The current plateauing of road fatality statistics across the countries of the West is a clear signal that we need to intensify our efforts even further. And indeed, there are still plenty of levers that can be applied in order to optimize and improve these figures.Following a review of the current situation from the perspective of Mercedes-Benz, the opportunities for further optimization of vehicle safety are now presented in the guise of the latest Experimental Safety Vehicle, ESF 2019, which above all addresses the new possibilities offered by increasing connectivity and automation. Many of the innovative concepts under consideration have a chance of reaching the market in future vehicles, either as they are or in a modified form; in other cases the discussion around them will lead to new ideas and proposed solutions.The Integral Safety Strategy by Mercedes-Benz is a holistic approach that defines safety in four phases: (1) safe driving, (2) assisting in a critical driving situation with accident prevention systems and anticipatory protection elements such as PRE-SAFE® systems, (3) during a crash, for example, occupant and partner protection, and, finally, (4) after a crash, deploy systems for the rescue phase. All four phases must be high priorities during the development of the vehicle.Even with an optimistic view of the vehicle-based opportunities, this chapter will demonstrate that vehicle measures alone will not be sufficient to solve all traffic safety issues, as road transportation is just too complex. All the factors that impact road safety, and which will need to play their part in delivering “Vision Zero,” must be addressed; in other words, infrastructural measures and people in traffic, too. As with the Mercedes-Benz strategy of Integral Safety, we shall only be able to make major advances toward “Vision Zero” if all influencing factors are properly investigated as part of an integrated examination of road safety.

Abstract:
This chapter provides general information and educational resources that can explain methods to safely access elevated worksites in the construction industry and develop teaching and training tools from the provided content. Fatality data are presented to emphasize the dangerous nature of construction work at elevations. These data verify that falls from elevations are still the primary cause of fatal injuries in the construction industry. The NIOSH Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation (FACE) program is highlighted throughout the chapter. The NIOSH FACE database of fatality reports identifies risk factors and recommendations for mitigating future fatal injuries. Additionally, NIOSH research activities are discussed that relate to fall prevention and protection. The activities discussed are a sample of popular fall protection techniques available to construction workers. They emphasize creating a safe working environment using ladders, scaffolds, and lifts through proper training and awareness. Proper planning, training, and practice can reduce the potential of fatal fall-related incidents from occurring.

Abstract:
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is considered the third most common cancer worldwide and is recently increasing in Africa. It is mostly diagnosed at an advanced state causing high fatality rates, which highlights the importance of CRC early diagnosis. There are various methods used to enable early diagnosis of CRC, which are vital to increase survival rates such as colonoscopy. Recently, there are calls to start an early detection program in Egypt using colonoscopy. It can be used for diagnosis and prevention purposes to detect and remove polyps, which are benign growths that have the risk of turning into cancer. However, there tends to be a high miss rate of polyps from physicians, which motivates machine learning guided polyp segmentation methods in colonoscopy videos to aid physicians. To date, there are no large-scale video polyp segmentation dataset that is focused on African countries. It was shown in AI-assisted systems that under-served populations such as patients with African origin can be misdiagnosed. There is also a potential need in other African countries beyond Egypt to provide a cost efficient tool to record colonoscopy videos using smart phones without relying on video recording equipment. Since most of the equipment used in Africa are old and refurbished, and video recording equipment can get defective. Hence, why we propose to curate a colonoscopy video dataset focused on African patients, provide expert annotations for video polyp segmentation and provide an AI-assisted tool to record colonoscopy videos using smart phones. Our project is based on our core belief in developing research by Africans and increasing the computer vision research capacity in Africa.

Abstract:
Abstract Automatic under suspended load detection system is a term for an image processing method which is used to identify compliance and safety aspect of crane or lifting & rigging operations in drilling & completion activities especially under suspended load for line of fire prevention which possibly leads to a serious incident and fatality. According to company data statistics, approximately 30% of safety findings are contributed by lifting & rigging operations. As a state-owned company that operates one of the largest fields in Indonesia with an extensive drilling and well intervention programs, Pertamina Hulu Rokan (PHR) commits to protect the safety of their people by reducing lifting & rigging operations safety findings and improving its monitoring process. The company has taken the initiative to explore any digital alternatives that can be applied such as utilization of computer vision and artificial intelligence in online Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) units to enable prevention of under suspended load case in drilling & completion operations by using deep learning algorithm such as Yolov4 and/or Faster R-CNN. During development process, the team has several technical challenges to be addressed such as the diversity of lifting and rigging scenarios such as lifting direction, lifting equipment type, and load variety to capture and detect under suspended load zone in 2-dimensional image using straightforward logic. The first step towards building this system is collecting lifting and rigging operations image datasets from various rig areas and with different lifting scenarios and equipment. Deep learning algorithm such as Yolov4, Faster R-CNN are being used to train the model using the dataset which has been labelled on specific objects related to the lifting operation such as crane boom, crane hook, crane loads, crane tires, crane cabin, and crane box to construct under suspended load zone on the given scenarios. The Preliminary results indicate that the method has been useful to identify under suspended load zone and deliver real time automatic notification during lifting and rigging on a drilling or well intervention operations and prevent the safety risk exposure of our personnel.

Abstract:
The massive loss of human lives resulting from the SARS-CoV-2 infection shifted the focus to glaring data that pointed to fatality among humans with poor immunity and comorbidity. In these subjects, the SARS-CoV-2’s pathophysiology manifestation was seen to be significantly more alarming than that in subjects who had no comorbidities or major immunity issues. This presented an overdue wake-up call to mankind to actively participate in strengthening immunity, overall wellness maintenance which allows comorbidity management or better, prevention. Food as the major source to serve nutritional needs appears to be a compromised phenomenon. SARS-CoV-2 pandemic presented a harsh reminder that now is the best time to be inclusive of herbs to human lifestyle alongside physical activities and hygiene. This led to an enlarged worldwide interest in traditional medicine. Traditional Indian medicine, Ayurveda, stands as the most ancient yet living tradition, garnered spotlight for being positively and progressively contributing its therapies aiding SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. These further gains weight with more research and a science-based approach. It is inevitable that it still requires more research and evidence-based efforts to fill the prevalent gap. This review was conducted to gain insight into Ayurveda herbal inclusion to SARS-CoV-2 infection management and the outcomes captured. This review aims to encapsulate the efforts documented and explorative data made available. The hope is for this review to make available the option, probability of an inclusive solution that may be considered to co-stand with allopathy in efforts taken to improve human immunity as a prophylaxis measure, at a larger scale. The review led to a hopeful acceptance of Ayurveda medicinal herbs and their role in SARS-CoV-2 management as positive and reassuring. Keywords: Ayurveda, Covid-19, pandemic, alternative medicine

Abstract:
Abstract Our rig crews regularly work around structures that pose risks such as dropped objects and pinch points. HSE and operational performance is highly dependent on human performance. Human performance or human factors have resulted in a relatively high frequency of serious Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) incidents associated with tubular handling on ADNOC Onshore rigs. An example is the fatality on a rig in Abu Dhabi while preparing to run casing in February 2018. We believe we can prevent major incidents, enhance efficiency and reduce risk by removing our people from harm's way through mechanization and intelligent automation of drill floor activities. The objective of this work is to reduce the human factor as low as reasonably practicable through mechanization and intelligent automation of tubular handling operations on ADNOC Onshore rigs. An incident prevention workshop recommended a technology search to enable hands free operations and reduce the human to machine interaction as much as reasonably practicable. A quick market research and a "Go, See, Assess" exercise with ADNOC Shareholders revealed several potential offerings on the market. ADNOC Onshore collaborated with two major technology providers and jointly designed a mechanized set up for ADNOC Onshore land rigs. The solution involved the use of mechanized equipment such as Casing Running Tools complete with hydraulically actuated single joint elevators, hydraulic catwalk, automated power slips, remote operated tong system with supporting alignment systems, air operated elevators, remote operated stabber, etc. The solution was successfully implemented on multiple rigs. The mechanized set up reduced the number of people in the so called RED Zone by 50% (Stabber, Tong Operator, Thread Inspector and Floor man) during casing and completion running operations. Other benefits realized include: Reduced reliance on human performance Reduced risk of harm to people due to dropped objects and pinch points on the rig floor Assured consistency in executing repetitive tasks such as running casing, etc This level of mechanization and intelligent automation is a first in the ADNOC Group, represents a STEP CHANGE in operational safety and has transformed how we do our business, underpinning HSE as priority number one.

Abstract:
Uses of epidemiology. Venous thromboembolism continues to be an important cause of death and disability in Western Countries. Its epidemiology may provide clues to etiology, e.g. the increased incidence in oral contraceptive users, and the low prevalence at autopsy in Central Africa or Japan compared to the U.S.A. A second use is the monitoring of time-trends: the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism increased during the 1970s, although the case fatality decreased. A third use is the identification and quantification of risk factors: these could be modified in the hope of prevention, or else used to select high risk groups for selective prophylaxis, e.g. during acute illness. Prevention is the only feasible approach to reducing the burden of venous thromboembolism, since most cases are not diagnosed, and since the value of current treatment is debatable.Case definition. Presents problems: clinical diagnosis is unreliable, and should if possible be supported by objective methods. Autopsy studies are performed on selected populations, at a decreasing rate; the frequency of thromboembolism depends on technique; and pathologists cannot be blinded and are open to bias. It can also be difficult to judge whether a patient dying with pulmonary embolism died from pulmonary embolism. 125I-fibrinogen scans indicate minimal disease, and now present ethical problems in screening due to risks of viral transmission. Venography is invasive and is not readily repeatable, which limits its use as a screening method. Plethysmography merits wider evaluation, since it is non-invasive, and sensitive to major thrombosis.Community epidemiology. Data on the community epidemiology are limited. The risk increases with age. When age is taken into account, there is little sex difference. Overweight in women, use of oral contraceptives and blood group A increase the risk: smoking, varicose veins, blood pressure, cholesterol and glucose do not, on current evidence. Long-term follow-up of patients with proven thromboembolism shows an increased risk of malignancy, hence occult cancer may also be a risk factor. Polycythaemia and certain congenital deficiencies (e.g. antithrombin III) are also well-recognised risk factors, although uncommon.Hospital epidemiology. Data on hospital epidemiology are derived largely from autopsy prevalence, and from short-term incidence of minimal thrombosis detected by 125I—fibrinogen scanning. Old, immobile and traumatised patients are most at risk. Previous thromboembolism, polycythaemia, antithrombin III deficiency, hip and leg fractures, elective hip and leg surgery, hemiplegia, paraplegia, and heart failure carry high risks, and merit consideration for routine prophylaxis. The risk in elective surgery precedes the operation, and increases with age, overweight, malignancy, varicose veins, non-smoking, and operative factors (duration, approach, general anaesthesia, intravenous fluids). Diabetics appear to have no extra risk. Combinations of clinical variables can be used to predict high risk groups for selective prophylaxis, but combination indices require further study. Laboratory variables may increase the predictability of deep vein thrombosis, but the results of published studies are conflicting, and the cost-effectiveness of laboratory prediction should be evaluated.

Abstract:
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), during 2016 there were 7,277,000 vehicle crashes nationally. Among them, approximately 70% happened during the daytime and around 30% of crashes occurred during the nighttime. There were 11,375 nighttime fatal crashes that account for about 48% of total fatal crashes (23,714). Given the fact that only 25%–33% of the vehicle miles traveled (VMT) occur at night, the above statistics indicate that the nighttime crash fatality rate is much higher and nighttime crashes are usually more severe compared to daytime crashes. Providing lighting on roadways is one of the proven safety countermeasures for preventing crashes and reducing fatalities. In particular, lighting at roadway intersections can reduce vehicle crashes by 10% to 26%. Currently, to conduct lighting field testing, INDOT is using several in-service highways, intersections, interchanges, and rest areas. These locations require traffic control and lane closures, which raises safety concerns and causing inconvenience to the public. In addition to the cost and safety concerns, during the evaluation period the new luminaires being tested actually functioned as lighting sources in place of the existing luminaires that were removed in order to install the new luminaires. This means that the new luminaries were used for roadway lighting at the test sites even before they were proven to meet the roadway lighting requirements. To eliminate traffic control and potential safety concerns, it was proposed to create test beds for field evaluating and to verify the performance of new lighting technologies and luminaires in a controlled, standard setting. Through this study, two lighting test bed facilities were designed and constructed. Illuminance values of installed luminaires were manually measured by a remotely controlled electric cart and drone. The measured illuminance values were analyzed and the analysis indicated that the efficiency of illuminance measurement can be significantly improved by automated methods. An illuminance data repository model was developed to be an effective tool that can greatly facilitate data input and storage process. The use of this model will further increase the productivity of illuminance measurement at the lighting test beds.
