    Författare :Haleluya Moshi; Ann Sörlin; Klas-Göran Sahlen; Gunnevi Sundelin; Lena Nilsson-Wikmar; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; traumatic spinal cord injuries; rural; low income country; clinical outcomes; quality of life; rehabiliteringsmedicin; Rehabilitation Medicine;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI) is one of the most troubling health condition as it leaves the inflicted individual with irreversible sensorimotor impairment. Rural areas of Tanzania and other low income countries are characterized by inadequate emergency, medical and rehabilitation services and are mostly inaccessible by wheelchair. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Simulation of Surrounding Vehicles in Driving Simulators

    Författare :Johan Olstam; Jan Lundgren; Jonas Jansson; Mikael Adlers; Pontus Matstoms; Martin Fellendorf; Statens väg- och transportforskningsinstitut; []
    Nyckelord :Traffic; Micro; Simulation; Mode; Overtaking; Lane changing; Car following; Rural road; Mathematical model; Simulator; Thesis; Road: Traffic theory; Road: Traffic theory; TECHNOLOGY;

    Sammanfattning : Driving simulators and microscopic traffic simulation are important tools for making evaluations of driving and traffic. A driving simulator is de-signed to imitate real driving and is used to conduct experiments on driver behavior. Traffic simulation is commonly used to evaluate the quality of service of different infrastructure designs. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Background: By the turn of the new millennium 84% of families in rural coastal Ecuador had difficulties to access health services. A health reform some years earlier to improve this situation had not been implemented. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Predictive models for accidents on urban links - A focus on vulnerable road users

    Författare :Thomas Jonsson; Trafik och väg; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Road transport technology; Transportteknik; Transport technology; Teknik; Technological sciences; Stads- och glesbygdsplanering; Town and country planning; speed; links; urban; safety; vulnerable road users; modelling; prediction; crash; traffic safety; accident; Vägtransportteknik;

    Sammanfattning : Much of earlier work on predictive models for accidents has been focused on rural traffic or urban intersections. This work has aimed at identifying and investigating possible improvements to predictive models for accidents on urban links. A special focus has been on the accidents of vulnerable road users.
