21. On Electrohydraulic Pressure Control for Power Steering Applications : Active Steering for Road Vehicles
Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with the Electrohydraulic Power Steering system for road vehicles, using electronic pressure control valves. With an ever increasing demand for safer vehicles and fewer traffic accidents, steering-related active safety functions are becoming more common in modern vehicles. LÄS MER
22. Understanding Subgroups of Novice Drivers : A Basis for Increased Safety and Health
Sammanfattning : Every year, drivers throughout the world are killed or injured in road traffic, particularly in developing countries. Young drivers run a greater risk everywhere, and this problem is still largely unsolved. Better understanding of the underlying processes could, however, be a useful tool in preventive endeavours.

23. Searching for causal effects of road traffic safety interventions : applications of the interrupted time series design
Sammanfattning : Traffic-related injuries represent a global public health problem, and contribute largely to mortality and years lived with disability worldwide. Over the course of the last decades, improvements to road traffic safety and injury surveillance systems have resulted in a shift in focus from the prevention of motor vehicle accidents to the control of injury events involving vulnerable road users (VRUs), such as cyclists and moped riders.

24. Understanding Boundary Conditions for Brain Injury Prediction : Finite Element Analysis of Vulnerable Road Users
Sammanfattning : Vulnerable road users (VRUs) are overrepresented in the statistics on severe and deadly injuries in traffic accidents, most commonly involving the head. The finite element (FE) method presents the possibility to model complex interactions between the human body and vehicles in order to better understand the injury mechanisms. LÄS MER
25. Analysis of Retroreflection and other Properties of Road Signs
Sammanfattning : Road traffic signs provide regulatory, warning, guidance, and other important information to road users to prevent hazards and road accidents. Therefore, the traffic signs must be detectable, legible, and visible both in day and nighttime to fulfill their purpose. The nighttime visibility is critical to safe driving on the roads at night.
