1. 6. Learning for safety in health care and air traffic control

   Författare :Sven Ternov; Ergonomi och aerosolteknologi; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Risk management; accident models; complex systems; health care; air traffic control; MTO analysis; DEB-analysis; proactive risk analysis.;

   Sammanfattning : Introduction Risk management in enterprises, organisations and companies has had a long and complicated history. During the eighties, and at least during the beginning of the nineties, the notion concerning risk management was that if an accident happened in an otherwise perfect system it was due to the human operator in some way being the cause of the error.

3. 7. 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

4. 8. On Lateral Stability of Heavy Vehicle Combinations - Linking Accident Analysis and Vehicle Dynamics

   Författare :Sogol Kharrazi; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Accident Analysis; Vehicle Dynamics; Performance Measures; Lateral Stability Control; Heavy Trucks; Lateral Instability;

   Sammanfattning : One of the hazardous motions of heavy trucks is lateral instability which can be defined as deviation from driver intended path due to skidding of the vehicle. Lateral instability is associated with 9% of heavy trucks involved in traffic accidents, which represents a considerable figure when translated to real accidents. LÄS MER

5. 9. Product guarantees and liability rules : an economic analysis

   Författare :Hillman Soeria-Atmadja; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : This study is an economic analysis of product guarantees and liability rules as devices for protecting consumers against risks of product failure, ranging from simple product malfunctioning to product-related injuries. It attempts to shed light on consumer policy issues that are raised by market inefficiencies due to unequal access to product information between consumers and producers. LÄS MER

7. 10. Influence Of Road Feature Variables On Accident Rate

   Författare :Sarbaz Najib Othman; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; safe road geometry; accident rate; black spots; accident causation; Traffic safety;

   Sammanfattning : The main objective of this traffic safety investigation was to find critical road parameters affecting accident rate (AR). The secondary objective was to analyze any identified risk factors from a vehicle dynamics perspective. LÄS MER
