Abstract: To reduce the effects of traffic jams, a traffic reduction system identifies road segments having more a threshold amount of traffic. The traffic reduction system also receives an indication of a current location of a client device operating in a vehicle and compares the current location to the locations of the identified road segments to determine whether the vehicle is on or approaching the road segment. If the vehicle is on or approaching the road segment, the traffic reduction system determines a target speed for the vehicle to maintain an equal distance between the vehicle and the vehicle in front of the vehicle and the vehicle and the vehicle behind the vehicle. The traffic reduction system then provides the target speed to the client device for display on a user interface. By maintaining equal distances between vehicles in front of and behind each other, the amount of traffic dissipates.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus are described that employ a fast concussion model usable to detect occurrence of traumatic events that can contribute to mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and to assess the risk that mTBI has occurred or is likely to occur should further traumatic events occur. A method includes receiving motion data related to a head acceleration event from sensors configured to detect head motion of a subject, using the motion data to obtain an estimate of axon signal dysfunction affecting a component of the subject's brain as a result of the head acceleration event, determining a Neurologic Injury Measure (NIM) from the estimate of axon signal dysfunction, and generating a probability that the subject has been concussed by the head acceleration event based on the NIM. The estimate of axon signal dysfunction may be based on strain at nodes of Ranvier in the component of the subject's brain.
