11. Priorities and potential of pedestrian protection : accident data, experimental tests and numerical simulations of car-to-pedestrian impacts
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
12. The effect of anti-slip devices on pedestrian safety : method development and practical test
Sammanfattning : Every winter, more than 100,000 pedestrians in the Nordic countries receive medical treatment as a result of falls on slippery surfaces. In addition, the risk of injury reduces interest in outdoor activities during the wintertime. LÄS MER
13. Analyzing real-world data to promote development of active safety systems that reduce car-to-vulnerable road user accidents
Sammanfattning : The overall objective of the thesis is to explore various types of real-world road traffic data and to assess the extent to which they can inform the design of active safety systems that aim to prevent car-to-vulnerable road user (VRU) accidents. A combined analysis of in-depth and police reported accident data provided information on driver behavior and contextual variables, which is valuable for the development of active safety systems.

14. A Study of an Integrated Safety System for the Protection of Adult Pedestrians from Car Collisions
Sammanfattning : This study aimed to evaluate and improve the performance of a newly developed safety system intended to protect pedestrians during frontal car collisions. This system includes a remote sensor system, a contact sensor, a reversible bumper system (RBS), and a reversible hood (RH). LÄS MER
15. A method for analysing the traffic process in a safety perspective
Sammanfattning : The aim of this study is to extend the traffic safety assessment concept to also include normal road user behaviour, thus not only exceptional behaviours such as accidents and serious conflicts. The goal is to provide a framework for a more thorough description and analysis of safety related road user behaviour in order to better understand the traffic safety processes. LÄS MER
