  1. 21. Evaluation of Road Equipment with Emphasis on Condition Assessment

    Författare :Sven-Olof Lundkvist; Ulf Isacsson; Rolf Magnusson; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Road equipment; Condition assessment; State-of-the-art; Mobile measurement; Road marking; Road sign; Post delineator; Traffic light; Street lighting; Civil engineering and architecture; Samhällsbyggnadsteknik och arkitektur;

    Sammanfattning : This doctoral thesis deals primarily with condition assessment of road equipment. The road equipment concept is defined by five main groups, road lighting, fences and barriers, vertical signs, horizontal signs and traffic signals, respectively. LÄS MER

  3. 22. Indicators for traffic safety assessment and prediction and their application in micro-simulation modelling : a study of urban and suburban intersections

    Författare :Jeffery Archer; Karl-Lennart Bång; Oliver Carsten; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :Social sciences; Traffic safety; proximal safety indicators; micro-simulation; safety analysis; Samhällsvetenskap; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP;

    Sammanfattning : In order to achieve sustainable long-term transport infrastructure development, there is a growing need for fast, reliable and effective methods to evaluate and predict the impact of traffic safety measures. Recognising this need, and the need for an active traffic safety approach, this thesis focuses on traffic safety assessment and prediction based on the use of safety indicators that measure the spatial and/or temporal proximity of safety critical events.

  4. 23. A systemic traffic accident model

    Författare :Yu-Hsing Huang; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; trafikolyckor; trafiksäkerhet; traffic safety; traffic accidents; Computer science; Datavetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : Accident models are essential for all efforts in safety engineering. They influence the investigation and analysis of accidents, the assessment of systems and the development of precautions. Looking at accident statistics, the trend for Swedish roads is not pointing towards increased safety. LÄS MER

  5. 24. Effects of hearing loss on traffic safety and mobility

    Författare :Birgitta Thorslund; Björn Lyxell; Björn Peters; Björn Lidestam; Håkan Alm; Statens väg- och transportforskningsinstitut; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Hearing; Driver; Driving veh ; Behaviour; Cognition; Mental load; Eye movement; Tactile; Warning; Signal; Driver assistance system; Navigation route ; Simulator driving ; Test; Safety; 841 Road: Road user behaviour; 841 Road: Road user behaviour;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this PhD thesis was to investigate traffic safety and mobility for individuals with hearing loss (HL). Three studies were conducted: 1. a questionnaire survey aimed to evaluate differences in choice of transportation that might be related to HL, 2. LÄS MER

  7. 25. Having a New Pair of Glasses : Applying Systemic Accident Models on Road Safety

    Författare :Yu-Hsing Huang; Erik Hollnagel; Pietro Carlo Cacciabue; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; accident model; road safety; accident prevention; accident analysis; Cognitive science; Kognitionsvetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : The main purpose of the thesis is to discuss the accident models which underlie accident prevention in general and road safety in particular, and the consequences of relying on a particular model have for actual preventive work. The discussion centres on two main topics. LÄS MER
