An accident is either an independent or a combined outcome of internal factors of the multilevel sociocultural and technical environment of traffic. Briefly, a road users' and/or country's level of safety in traffic is mostly determined by how and to what extent external factors influence either directly or indirectly internal factors which in turn affect exposure, risk, and accident involvement. This chapter provides a framework as a product of intellectual curiosity to “fight” accidents. It also aims to merge person and environment perspectives in the fourth age of safety. Most road traffic accidents can be directly attributed to behavioral factors as a sole or a contributory factor. Behavioral factors in driving can be investigated under two separate components: driver behavior/style and performance/skills. Driver behavior refers to the ways drivers choose to drive or habitually drive, including the choice of driving speed, habitual level of general attentiveness, and gap acceptance. Driver behaviors and performance can be assumed to reflect many drivers' individual characteristics, such as personality, attitudes, motives or “extramotives,” and perceptual- motor and information-processing capacities.

Person Re identification by Combining Features in a Learning Based Framework OĞUL, BUKET; Temizel, Alptekin (2013-12-17)
Person Re-identification Using Convolutional Neural Networks Aksu, Fatih; Direkoğlu, Cem; Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2021-9-6) Person re-identification is an important computer vision topic particularly for surveillance system applications. The main aim of person re-identification is to identify previously observed individuals over a camera network with nonoverlapping occurrences. Various approaches have been introduced to overcome this problem. This study has two distinct key contributions. First, a new part-based method for person re-identification, which combines semantically partitioned body part masks with a convolutional neur...
People’s Experience Of Urban Lighting İn Public Space Ünver, Ahmet; Ataöv Demirkan, Anlı; Department of City and Regional Planning (2009) This thesis aims to create new perspectives in urban lighting design by discovering people’s preferences in urban lighting through an exploratory research on people’s perceptive experience of urban space at night. In this study, I aim to analyze the common approaches and methods of urban lighting design and make their critique through my research results. Primary research objectives include the evaluation of what people perceive from the urban lighting design and how they feel about the design outcomes. In ...
