    Abstract : Several aspects make today’s transport system non-sustainable: • Production, transport and combustion of fossil fuels lead to global and local environmental problems. • Oil dependency in the transport sector may lead to economical and political instability. READ MORE

  4. 2. Risks Related to the Use of Software Tools when Developing Cyber-Physical Systems : A Critical Perspective on the Future of Developing Complex, Safety-Critical Systems

    Author : Fredrik Asplund; Martin Törngren; Jad El-Khoury; John McDermid; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Automation; Certification; Process Risks; Safety; Safety-Critical; Standards; Support Environments; Tool Integration; Machine Design; Maskinkonstruktion;

    Abstract : The increasing complexity and size of modern Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) has led to a sharp decline in productivity among CPS designers. Requirements on safety aggravate this problem further, both by being difficult to ensure and due to their high importance to the public. READ MORE

  5. 3. Crime Clusters and Safety in Underground Stations

    Author : Adriaan Cornelis Uittenbogaard; Vania Ceccato; Kate Bowers; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Safety; urban crime; crime distribution; spatial-temproal patterns; underground stations; public transport; environmental attributes; crime prevention; Real Estate and Construction Management; Fastigheter och byggande;

    Abstract : The objective of the thesis is to explore ways to assess safety in an urban context and intransport nodes. The thesis is composed of articles which aim at assessing whether safety levels vary within a city, at a public transportation network, particularly at stations, and finally making suggestions to increase safety in these environments.

  6. 4. Safety of Cooperative Automated Driving : Analysis and Optimization

    Author : Galina Sidorenko; Alexey Vinel; Johan Thunberg; Elisabeth Uhlemann; Högskolan i Halmstad; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; platooning; Cooperative Intelligent Transportation System C-ITS ; Vehicle-to-Vehicle V2V communication; emergency braking; road safety; ITS-G5; IEEE 802.11p; automated driving;

    Abstract : New cooperative intelligent transportation system (C-ITS) applications become enabled thanks to advances in communication technologies between vehicles(V2V) and with the infrastructure (V2I). Communicating vehicles share information with each other and cooperate, which results in improved safety, fuel economy, and traffic efficiency. READ MORE
