    Sammanfattning : Background: An overwhelming proportion of road traffic deaths and injuries in low- and middle-income countries occurs in prehospital environments. Lay responders such as traffic police officers play an important role in providing initial assistance to victims of road crashes, either alone or in collaboration with others. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Train crashes : consequences for passengers

    Författare :Rebecca Forsberg; Ulf Björnstig; Britt-Inger Saveman; Inggard Lereim; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Accident; crash; disaster; experiences; injuries; injury inducing objects; media coverage; railway; safety;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Globally, and in Sweden, passenger railway transport is steadily increasing. Sweden has been relatively free from severe train crashes in the last decades, but the railway infrastructure is alarmingly worn and overburdened, which may be one reason for an increasing number of reported mishaps.

  4. 3. Occupant casualties in bus and coach traffic : injury and crash mechanisms

    Författare :Pontus Albertsson; Ulf Björnstig; Torbjörn Falkmer; Claes Tingvall; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; bus; coach; aerodynamics; crash; non-crash; cross-wind; injuries; weight distribution; road friction; restraints; haddons matrix; prevention; severe crash; mass casualty; major incident; alighting; boarding; incidents; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi; Surgery; kirurgi;

    Sammanfattning : Background: The relevance of conducting this thesis is evident by the fact that bus and coach casualties have been “stubbornly stable” in Europe recent years and a need for investigating if a similar trend could be found in Sweden is therefore obvious. It was also important to add new knowledge to the bus and coach research in Sweden, since many areas were scarcely addressed. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Toward safety promotion among road users : epidemiology and prevention of road traffic injuries in Iran

    Författare :Davoud Khorasani Zavareh; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Vulnerable road-user; capture-recapture method; surveillance; system; approach; coordination; road-user safety; laypeople interaction; pre-hospital services; grounded theory;

    Sammanfattning : Road traffic injuries (RTIs) are a major public health problem. Iran has one of the highest RTI mortality and morbidity rates in the world. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Head Injuries in Car-to-Pedestrian Accidents - Investigation of Head Impact Dynamics, Injury Mechanisms and Countermeasures

    Författare :Jianfeng Yao; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; accident analysis; head injury; head protection; mathematical simulation; accident reconstruction; injury mechanism; Pedestrian accident;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this study was to investigate head impact dynamics and to establish risk functions for head injuries by mathematical reconstructions of real-world car-to-pedestrian accidents. Furthermore, an attempt was made to develop an approach for the design and evaluation of head-protective devices. LÄS MER
