  2. 16. Heavy Vehicle Crash Safety - Improved Thoracic Injury Prediction in Frontal Crash Testing

    Author : Kristian Holmqvist; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Finite Element modelling; Pendulum test; Injury assessment; Accidents; Chest injury; Hybrid III; Heavy goods vehicle; THUMS; Crash test;

    Abstract : Frontal crashes are regarded as some of the most injurious accidents for Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) drivers. One of the leading HGV manufacturers regularly conducts frontal crash testing for occupant safety. The Hybrid III crash test dummy was developed for frontal testing in passenger cars and has become the standard in crash laboratories. READ MORE

  4. 17. Perceived Physical and Psychological Outcome After Severe Burn Injury

    Author : Morten Kildal; Lisa Ekselius; Bengt Gerdin; Folke Sjöberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; Burns; Outcome Assessment; Health Status; Quality of Life; Personality; Rehabilitation; Wounds and Injuries; Accidents; Coping; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi; plastikkirurgi; Plastic Surgery;

    Abstract : There is very little data on physical and psychological long-term outcome after severe burn injury. The aim of the present thesis was to improve current instruments for assessment of these issues, to assess long-term outcome in a cohort of patients with burn injuries, and to explore the contribution of the individual factors of personality and coping on perceived outcome.

  5. 18. Forecasting Indian Road Traffic Casualties: Guidance to Prioritize Road Safety Technologies and Regulations

    Author : Pradeep Puthan Pisharam; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; effectiveness; safety benefit; Accidents; future crashes; vision zero; assessment; evaluation; crash; ADAS;

    Abstract : India accounts for 11% (nearly 150,000) of global road traffic deaths and its fatality rate is 22.6 per 100,000 people, almost three times higher than that of the European region. India is committed to reducing fatalities and has signed the Stockholm declaration to halve the fatalities by 2030. READ MORE

  6. 19. Development of a Neutron Flux Monitoring System for Sodium-cooled Fast Reactors

    Author : Vasudha Verma; Carl Hellesen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Protection systems; safety; accidents; sodium-cooled fast reactor; instrumentation; fission chamber; self powered neutron detector;

    Abstract : Safety and reliability are one of the key objectives for future Generation IV nuclear energy systems. The neutron flux monitoring system forms an integral part of the safety design of a nuclear reactor and must be able to detect any irregularities during all states of reactor operation. READ MORE

  7. 20. Post Impact Vehicle Path Control in Multiple Event Accidents

    Author : Derong Yang; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Accident Analysis; Multiple-Event Accidents; Post Impact; Collision Avoidance; Optimal Path Control.; Vehicle Dynamics;

    Abstract : Recent statistics show that multiple-event accidents (MEAs) possess an increasing fraction of all vehicle traffic accidents. They are characterized by having at least one vehicle subjected to more than one harmful event, such as collision with another vehicle. MEAs now comprise approximately 25% of all passenger vehicle accidents. READ MORE
