2. 1. Safety Evaluation of Road Characteristics

   Author : Sarbaz Najib Othman; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Accident data; FOT data; Overtaking maneuvers; Road safety; PC-Crash; Critical road parameters; Horizontal curves;

   Abstract : Accidents are rare and widely distributed on the road network, which poses a challenge for road safety improvement. Traditional methods alone, such as accident analyses and experimental studies, do not explain all accident causation factors. READ MORE

4. 2. Searching for causal effects of road traffic safety interventions : applications of the interrupted time series design

   Author : Carl Bonander; Ragnar Andersson; Finn Nilson; Claes Tingvall; Karlstads universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Causal inference; Repeated measures; Methodology; Econometrics; Injury Epidemiology; Vulnerable Road Users; Time series analysis; Risk- och Miljöstudier; Risk and Environmental Studies;

   Abstract : Traffic-related injuries represent a global public health problem, and contribute largely to mortality and years lived with disability worldwide. Over the course of the last decades, improvements to road traffic safety and injury surveillance systems have resulted in a shift in focus from the prevention of motor vehicle accidents to the control of injury events involving vulnerable road users (VRUs), such as cyclists and moped riders.

5. 3. Keeping Eye and Mind on the Road

   Author : Trent Victor; Claes von Hofsten; John Wann; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Psychology; Vision; Eye-movements; Driving; Attention; Distraction; Ventral stream; Dorsal stream; Road safety; Traffic crashes; Evaluation methodology; Psykologi; Psychology; Psykologi;

   Abstract : This thesis is devoted to understanding and counteracting the primary contributing factor in traffic crashes: inattention. Foremost, it demonstrates the fundamental importance of proactive gaze in the road centre area for action guidance in driving. READ MORE

6. 4. Life Cycle Costing in Road Planning and Management : A Case Study on Collision-free Roads

   Author : Jonas Wennström; Håkan Sundquist; Tommy Edeskär; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; collision-free road; design; infrastructure; investment; life cycle costing; life cycle cost analysis; maintenance; management; operation; planning; road; sustainability;

   Abstract : Construction of infrastructure does not only mean large capital investments but also future costs to operate and maintain these assets. Decision making in planning and design of roads will impact the need of future operation and maintenance activities. READ MORE

7. 5. Indicators for traffic safety assessment and prediction and their application in micro-simulation modelling : a study of urban and suburban intersections

   Author : Jeffery Archer; Karl-Lennart Bång; Oliver Carsten; KTH; []
   Keywords : Social sciences; Traffic safety; proximal safety indicators; micro-simulation; safety analysis; Samhällsvetenskap; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP;

   Abstract : In order to achieve sustainable long-term transport infrastructure development, there is a growing need for fast, reliable and effective methods to evaluate and predict the impact of traffic safety measures. Recognising this need, and the need for an active traffic safety approach, this thesis focuses on traffic safety assessment and prediction based on the use of safety indicators that measure the spatial and/or temporal proximity of safety critical events.
