  2. 1. Seriously injured road users in rural and urban road traffic in a Swedish region - a Vision Zero perspective

    Author : Astrid Värnild; Larm Peter; Per Tillgren; Marie Hasselberg; Mälardalens högskola; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Vision Zero; road injuries; rural; urban; cyclist; pedestrian; policy; management by objectives; folkhälsovetenskap; Public Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Globally more than 50 million people are injured in road traffic every year. The incidence of road injuries is increasing while that of fatalities is decreasing. Road safety measures are being implemented in many countries to reduce the effects on public health. In highly motorized countries, the process is often managed by quantitative targets. READ MORE

  4. 2. Stomas from a rural perspective : an evaluation of characteristics, differences and improvement opportunities

    Author : Simon Näverlo; Karin Strigård; Ulf Gunnarsson; Anette Edin-Liljegren; Ingvar Syk; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; rural; defunctioning stoma; permanent stoma; stoma reversal; distance; quality-of-life; parastomal hernia; mesh; prophylaxis; colostomy; urostomy; ileostomy; content analysis; Surgery; kirurgi;

    Abstract : Introduction: Stoma-related complications are common and consequences for the individual patient may be considerable. In rural areas, competence regarding stoma-related problems is largely absent. READ MORE

  5. 3. A Traffic Simulation Modeling Framework for Rural Highways

    Author : Andreas Tapani; Jan Lundgren; Karl-Lennart Bång; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Traffic; Micro; Simulation; Model; Overtaking; Speed; Headway; Rural road; Electronic driving aid; Mathematical model; Road: Traffic theory; Road: Traffic theory; Other technology;

    Abstract : Models based on micro-simulation of traffic flows have proven to be useful tools in the study of various traffic systems. Today, there is a wealth of traffic microsimulation models developed for freeway and urban street networks. The road mileage is however in many countries dominated by rural highways. READ MORE

  6. 4. Traffic Simulation Modelling of Rural Roads and Driver Assistance Systems

    Author : Andreas Tapani; Jan Lundgren; Haris N. Koutsopoulos; Linköpings universitet; []

    Abstract : Microscopic traffic simulation has proven to be a useful tool for analysis of varioustraffic systems. This thesis consider microscopic traffic simulation of rural roads andthe use of traffic simulation for evaluation of driver assistance systems. READ MORE

  7. 5. Mimic: A Microscopic Simulation Model for Rural Road Traffic

    Author : Stig O. Simonsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; computer model; time headway; log normal distribution; Chi-Square test; gap-acceptance; rural road network; car-following; traffic simulation model; alignment; sight distance; Kolmogorov-Smirnoff test; software system; statistics;

    Abstract : The purpose of this dissertation is to outline the theoretical basis of a road traffic simulation model, named Mimic, that constitutes the key elements of a system for estimating road user effects and environmental impacts. The simulation model suggested is a microscopic road traffic simulation model and it is structured to be used for networks of rural roads. READ MORE
