      <title>SOFT TISSUE INJURIES OF THE NECK</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/147141</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Whiplash is a poorly defined term including ligamentous and muscle strains, hematomas, disc injuries, and less frequently, brain, eye and ear injuries.  Diagnosis is difficult because clinical signs and X-rays, electromyography and electroencephalography findings are few.  Protection and rest will cure most patients within a year but approximately 2/5th of patients have permanent symptoms and disability.  Rear-end impact accidents cause the head and neck to hyperextend over the seat back. Whiplash occurs in 38% of exposed occupants.  Head rests give protection but differential rebound may occur producing injurious hyperextension and whiplash.  The larynx, trachea and esophagus, in front of the spine, are injured by impact against the dash or steering wheel.  Airway obstruction may occur and cause death if not restored quickly.  Permanent disability can occur because of scarring and partial airway or esophagial obstruction or vocal cord damage.]]></description>

      <title>EFFECT OF ELECTRIC CURRENT ON PEOPLE</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/73962</link>
      <description><![CDATA[After a review of the historical development of the knowledge of electric current effects on man the paper outlines the state of the present research on the electric current effects on heart.  New experiments have been performed regarding the resistance of living human body to currents of different intensities.  Some considerations are explained concerning the practical impact of findings on the prevention of electric accidents.]]></description>

      <title>RIDE VIBRATION STANDARDS AND HUMAN TOLERANCE CRITERIA</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/54167</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Different investigators have been working on quantifying vehicle ride, however, difficulty still exists in correlating their findings due to different measurement procedures, data analysis techniques and data reporting formats.  This paper reports on International Draft Standards whose techniques if used might eliminate this confusion.  Additional medical investigations remain which should be correlated with the above reference standards before measured input values are accepted as values of human tolerance.]]></description>

      <title>INFLUENCE OF ETHYL ALCOHOL IN MODERATE LEVELS ON VISUAL STIMULUS TRACKING</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/54176</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This report describes an investigation which evaluated the ability of subjects, with or without alcohol, to perform a visual stimulus tracking task as presented by the Mark IV "Critical Task Tester," a device developed by the Systems Technology Corporation, Hawthorne, California.  Analysis of error responses showed a statistically significant impairment of performance at a blood alcohol level (BAL) as low as 50 mg%. The operator's effective time delay also was affected at a BAL of 50 mg%.  It was concluded that the Critical Task Tester has good potential for further use in evaluating human visual motor performance where small difference as a function of CNS depressents and other agents are of interest.]]></description>

      <title>PSYCHO-PHYSIOLOGICAL REACTIONS OF VEHICLE DRIVERS UNDER LONG DISTANCE DRIVING</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/54319</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Human performances while driving of both skilled and unskilled drivers between 22-24 years of age, are investigated on the three different kinds of road conditions such as high-speed automobile test course, a common road and highway.  Results show the difference due to the degree of skill in driving with such physiological parameters as pulse level and CFF.  The external driving environment and the driving hours are also important.]]></description>
