2. 6. Towards Safe Autonomous Driving

   Author : Arian Ranjbar; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; effectiveness; Autonomous driving; neural networks; verification; predictive evaluation; monitoring; safety benefit;

   Abstract : Autonomous driving is expected to bring several benefits, in particular regarding safety. This thesis aim to contribute towards two questions concerning safety: "What is the potential safety benefit of autonomous driving?'' and "How can we ensure safe operation of such vehicles?''.

4. 7. Towards Increased Energy Efficiency in Swedish Industry : Barriers, Driving Forces & Policies

   Author : Patrik Thollander; Mats Söderström; Magnus Karlsson; Jenny Palm; Paolo Bertoldi; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : Industrial energy efficiency; barriers; driving forces; investment decision support; energy policies; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

   Abstract : Industrial energy efficiency is one of the most important means of reducing the threat of increased global warming. A higheruse of electricity than their European competitors, together with increased energy costs due to increasing energy prices in Swedish industry have negative impacts on results and competitiveness.

5. 8. On the Relations between Driving Patterns, Exhaust Emissions and Network Characteristics in Urban Driving

   Author : Lena Smidfelt-Rosqvist; Trafik och väg; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; traffic calming; intersections; driving adaptation; speed limits; Road transport technology; driving behaviour; Vägtransportteknik; overall effects; trip-long; non-local effects;

   Abstract : The planning and design of street networks in cities influence driving behaviour and give rise to variations in driving patterns (i.e., speed and acceleration profiles) that affect exhaust emissions and fuel consumption. READ MORE

6. 9. The driver response process in assisted and automated driving

   Author : Linda Pipkorn; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; automation safety; take-over request; driver behavior; response process; automated driving; driving performance;

   Abstract : Background: Safe assisted and automated driving can be achieved through a detailed understanding of the driver response process (the timing and quality of driver actions and visual behavior) triggered by an event such as a take-over request or a safety-relevant event. Importantly, most current evidence on driver response process in vehicle automation, and on automation effects (unsafe response process) is based on driving-simulator studies, whose results may not generalize to the real world.

7. 10. Shifting Gears : Automated Driving on the Eve of Autonomous Drive

   Author : Christopher Martin; Avdelningen för etnologi; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; automation; driving; cars; practice; perception; embodiment; flow; space; skill; orientation; routine; technology;

   Abstract : The compelling images and promises attached to autonomous drive vehicles can easily create an impression that one can speak of a radical distinction between a self-driving future and a manual-driving present. Yet today’s drivers can already refer to their everyday driving as being experienced as though on ‘auto-pilot’, in which they are able to drive their cars while lost in things such as daydreams, conversations, or plans for their day ahead.
