2. 1. Managing knowledge sharing of extreme weather induced impacts on land transport infrastructure : Case study of the Swedish Transport Administration

   Author : Monika Rydstedt Nyman; Lars Nyberg; Magnus Johansson; Eva Liljegren; Peter Söderholm; Karlstads universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; lessons learned; risk management; climate change adaptation; accident investigation method; extreme weather events; natural hazard; land transport infrastructure; maintenance; lärande; kunskapsåterföring; risk hantering; klimatanpassning; olycksutredningsmetod; naturolyckor; landtransport infrastruktur; underhåll; Risk and Environmental Studies; Risk- och Miljöstudier;

   Abstract : Extreme weather events and effects of climate change are threats to the transport sector’s functionality and safety. Risk management in this context implies a necessity to focus on the connection between near-term experiences and coping strategies on one hand, and long-term adaptation analyses on the other.

4. 2. Analysing Sustainable Urban Transport and Land-Use : Modelling tools and appraisal frameworks

   Author : R. Daniel Jonsson; Lars-Göran Mattsson; Anders Karlström; Paul Waddell; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; sustainable development; Civil engineering and architecture; Samhällsbyggnadsteknik och arkitektur;

   Abstract : Sustainable development and climate change is high on the agenda for most cities around the world today. Urban transport is at the heart of these changes. Increasingly, it is recognised that not only is the emission of pollutants and greenhouse gases a problem, but also the detrimental effects of congestion and social exclusion. READ MORE

5. 3. Predictive models for accidents on urban links - A focus on vulnerable road users

   Author : Thomas Jonsson; Trafik och väg; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Road transport technology; Transportteknik; Transport technology; Teknik; Technological sciences; Stads- och glesbygdsplanering; Town and country planning; speed; links; urban; safety; vulnerable road users; modelling; prediction; crash; traffic safety; accident; Vägtransportteknik;

   Abstract : Much of earlier work on predictive models for accidents has been focused on rural traffic or urban intersections. This work has aimed at identifying and investigating possible improvements to predictive models for accidents on urban links. A special focus has been on the accidents of vulnerable road users.

6. 4. Network-based urban growth - How centrality and accessibility to places shape land use

   Author : Leonard Carl Staffan Nilsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; urban growth; transport infrastructure; network; accessibility; Land-use change; agglomeration; complex; urban planning; spatial interaction; GIS;

   Abstract : The world is experiencing unprecedented and rapid urbanization. To be able to handle this transformation and guide the design of these cities in the way the inhabitants want to have them, it is necessary to understand the drivers and perform planning beforehand.   Cities are complex systems.

7. 5. Divisive connections: Theory and tools for the quantification of barrier effects in transport infrastructure projects

   Author : Job van Eldijk; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; impact assessment; decision support; transport infrastructure; barrier effects; severance;

   Abstract : Transport infrastructure increases regional accessibility but at the same time it creates barriers that reduce local accessibility. These barriers reduce social contacts between people, and limit access to services and leisure. READ MORE
