11. On the establishment of a data-driven approach to gravel road maintenance
Sammanfattning : Gravel roads are essential for economic development as they facilitate the movement of people, transportation of goods and services, and promote cultural and social development. They typically connect sparsely populated rural areas to urban centres, providing essential access for residents and entrepreneurs. LÄS MER
12. Toward safety promotion among road users : epidemiology and prevention of road traffic injuries in Iran
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
13. The influence of wicked problems on community-based entrepreneurship in rural Sweden
Sammanfattning : Entrepreneurship research has, since the 1930’s, mainly focused on so-called traditional entrepreneurship and studies have to a large part discussed management processes. During the past 40 years social entrepreneurship research and research into community-based entrepreneurship and practice has emerged, as a response to changes in society due to global, regional and local events that affect local development.

14. Drivers overtaking cyclists and pedestrians: Modeling road-user behavior for traffic safety
Sammanfattning : In a world aiming to shift to more sustainable modes of transportation, vulnerable road users (VRUs) like cyclists and pedestrians are still confronted with significant barriers to safety, particularly on rural roads where overtaking maneuvers represent a frequent and dangerous interaction with motorized traffic. If drivers misjudge their kinematics, even near-crashes without physical contact can harm the perceived safety of the VRU, which may decrease the willingness to continue cycling or walking on these roads.

15. Towards computational models for road-user interaction: Drivers overtaking pedestrians and cyclists
Sammanfattning : Introduction: Crashes resulting from a failed interaction between drivers and vulnerable road users, such as pedestrians or cyclists, can lead to severe injuries or fatalities, especially after failed overtaking maneuvers on rural roads where designated refuge areas are often absent, and impact speeds high. This thesis contains two studies that shed light on driver interaction with either 1) a pedestrian or 2) a cyclist, and oncoming traffic while overtaking. LÄS MER
