1. 6. Priorities and potential of pedestrian protection : accident data, experimental tests and numerical simulations of car-to-pedestrian impacts

   Författare :Rikard Fredriksson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Pedestrian disability and fatality as a consequence of car crashes is a large global health problem. To introduce maximally effective car-based countermeasures it is important to understand which injuries are most common and from which car parts they originate. LÄS MER

3. 7. Mathematical Simulation of Vehicle-Pedestrian Collisions: Influence of Vehicle Impact Speed and Front-End Structure on the Dynamic Responses of Child and Adult Pedestrians

   Författare :Xuejun Liu; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; child pedestrian; impact biomechanics; mathematical model; vehicle front-end structure; safety countermeasure; impact speed; parametric study; scaling method;

   Sammanfattning : The development of effective countermeasures for pedestrian protection requires an understanding of how the impact speed and front-end design of the vehicle influence the injury risks of pedestrians. Because of the high involvement of children in pedestrian accidents, there is also a need for child pedestrian mathematical models. LÄS MER

4. 8. Numerical Accident Reconstructions : A Biomechanical Tool to Understand and Prevent Head Injuries

   Författare :Madelen Fahlstedt; Svein Kleiven; Peter Halldin; Michael Gilchrist; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Head injuries; Accident Reconstruction; Finite element analysis; Injury prevention; Helmet; Cyclist; Pedestrian; Epidemiology; Applied Medical Technology; Tillämpad medicinsk teknik;

   Sammanfattning : Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are a major health and socioeconomic problem throughout the world, with an estimated 10 million deaths and instances of hospitalization annually. Numerical methods such as finite element (FE) methods can be used to study head injuries and optimize the protection, which can lead to a decrease in the number of injuries. LÄS MER

5. 9. Array Processing Techniques for Direction of Arrival Estimation, Communications, and Localization in Vehicular and Wireless Sensor Networks

   Författare :Marco Antonio Marques Marinho; Alexey Vinel; Henk Wymeersch; Högskolan i Halmstad; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; DOA estimation; Array Interpolation; MIMO; Wireless Sensor Networks; Radio Positioning;

   Sammanfattning : Array signal processing in wireless communication has been a topic of interest in research for over three decades. In the fourth generation (4G) of the wireless communication systems, also known as Long Term Evolution (LTE), multi antenna systems have been adopted according to the Release 9 of the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).

7. 10. Identifying the Potential of Combined Road Safety Interventions - A Method to Evaluate Future Effects of Integrated Road and Vehicle Safety Technologies

   Författare :Johan Strandroth; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Evaluation; Road Safety Management; Autonomous Emergency Braking; Safety Performance Indicators; System Approach; Prediction; Integrated Safety; Vehicle Safety Technology;

   Sammanfattning : Health loss in the road transport system is one of the leading global public health problems with approximately 1.3 million people killed annually. In order to have a systematical approach to improved road safety, it has become common practice to form road safety management policies that include target setting and evaluation. LÄS MER
