Evaluation of Technology Concepts for Traffic Data Management and Relevant Audio for Datalink in Commercial Airline Flight Decks

SummaryIn February 1992, an outbreak of cholera occurred among persons who had flown on a commercial airline flight from South America to Los Angeles. This study was conducted to determine the magnitude and the cause of the outbreak. Passengers were interviewed and laboratory specimens were collected to determine the magnitude of the outbreak. A case-control study was performed to determine the vehicle of infection. Seventy-five of the 336 passengers in the United States had cholera; 10 were hospitalized and one died. Cold seafood salad, served between Lima, Peru and Los Angeles, California, was the vehicle of infection (odds ratio, 11·6; 95% confidence interval, 3·3–44·5). This was the largest airline-associated outbreak of cholera ever reported and demonstrates the potential for airline-associated spread of cholera from epidemic areas to other parts of the world. Physicians should obtain a travel history and consider cholera in patients with diarrhoea who have travelled from cholera-affected countries. This outbreak also highlights the risks associated with eating cold foods prepared in cholera-affected countries.

With the highway infrastructure under strain, there is a need to collect and analyze traffic volume, vehicle classification, and weight data in an integrated manner. Most research focuses on collection and quality of data with little emphasis on an integrated traffic data management system. Design of an integrated traffic data management system that allows for editing, storage, and reporting of traffic volumes, vehicle classification, and vehicle weight along with quality assurance of data is presented. The system includes the creation of new software and the use of existing software that has been modified to allow for the flagging of data errors, the reading of 1995 Traffic Monitoring Guide format data, and the aggregation of vehicle class data in suitable schemes to ease analysis. Procedures for the input of missing data and the correction of erroneous data are described. The system is user friendly and designed to operate under a Windows 3.1 or a Windows NT 4.0 environment. Refinements needed in the future are identified and presented.
