Commuting when there is a significant volume of traffic congestion has been acknowledged as one of the key factors causing stress. Significant levels of stress whilst driving are seen to have a profoundly negative effect on the actions and ability of a driver; this has the capacity to result in risks, hazards and accidents. As such, there is a reco...

Associative Classification (AC) classifiers are of substantial interest due to their ability to be utilised for mining vast sets of rules. However, researchers over the decades have shown that a large number of these mined rules are trivial, irrelevant, redundant, and sometimes harmful, as they can cause decision-making bias. Accordingly, in our pa...
