  1. 16. Investigation of Head Injuries in Car-to-Child Pedestrian Accidents

    Författare :Jianfeng Yao; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; injury mechanisms; head injury; child pedestrian; accident;

    Sammanfattning : Head injury is the most common injury type in child pedestrian accidents andcould lead to lifelong disability or even death. To protect child pedestrianfrom head injury, it is important to understand the head injury mechanismsand tolerance levels. LÄS MER

  3. 17. 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.

  4. 18. Assessing Safety Risks for the Sea Transport Link of a Multimodal Dangerous Goods Transport Chain

    Författare :Ellis Joanne; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; dangerous goods; cargo transport units; accident; spills; maritime safety; risk analysis; incidents; container ships;

    Sammanfattning : Transport of goods in containers and cargo transport units by sea as part of multimodal transport chains presents unique challenges from a safety perspective. The units can hold a broad mix of cargo types, including dangerous goods with hazardous properties. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Every Injured has a Story to Tell : analysing organisational preconditions for occupational accidents in the Swedish food industry

    Författare :Christina Stave; Institutionen för produkt- och produktionsutveckling Chalmers University of Technology; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Accident; Food; Industry; Occupation; V Medicine; V Medicine;

    Sammanfattning : The continuing high frequency of occupational accidents in the Swedish food industry calls for new approaches in order to identify and describe the underlying factors. In the present thesis, therefore, occupational accidents were investigated from the operator’s perspective, in order to explore the organisational preconditions. LÄS MER

  7. 20. On the Influence of Rail Vehicle Parameters on the Derailment Process and its Consequences

    Författare :Dan Brabie; Evert Andersson; Johan Oscarsson; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; train; railway; rail vehicle; accident; incident; derailment; bogie design; simulation; wheel; sleeper; impact; Vehicle engineering; Farkostteknik;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis aims at systematically studying the possibilities of minimising devastatingconsequences of high-speed derailments by appropriate measures and features in thetrain design, including the running gear. The course of events immediately afterderailments is studied with respect to whether the train stays upright and close to thetrack centre line or deviates laterally with probably serious consequences.
