2. 1. Energy Efficiency in Winter Road Maintenance - A Road Climatological Perspective

   Author : Lina Nordin; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Road climate; RWIS; frost; snow; fuel consumption; heavy-duty vehicles; route optimisation programme; energy efficiency; winter road maintenance;

   Abstract : Practices in winter road maintenance are dependent on the climate and weather impacting roads and the road users’ requirements. As in many other fields of transportation, it is of interest to investigate fuel efficiency potentials in the different aspects of the road maintenance area. READ MORE

4. 2. 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.

5. 3. Monitoring winter road friction using floating car data

   Author : Sofia Sollén; Johan Casselgren; Mikael Sjödahl; Hawzheen Karim; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Floating Car Data; Winter Road Maintenance; Tire-to-Road Friction; Road Safety; Vision Zero; Intelligent Transport Systems; Experimental Mechanics; Experimentell mekanik;

   Abstract : More than a million people die every year due to road traffic accidents globally where one in five serious or fatal accidents occurs during severe weather conditions. Sweden is in the lead of Vision Zero, with the aim of zero casualties due to road traffic, and every year new countries and organisations accept the challenge of saving lives. READ MORE

6. 4. The Rocky Road : Why Usability Work is so Difficult

   Author : Jeff Winter; Kari Rönkkö; Alma Culen; Blekinge Tekniska Högskola; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Usability; User experience; UX; Wicked problems; Quality; Organizations; Institutions; Participatory design; User-centred design; Computer and Information Sciences Computer Science;

   Abstract : Achieving product and process quality are among the central themes of software engineering, and quality is an important factor in the marketplace. Usability and user experience (UX) are two important aspects of quality, particularly for interactive products. READ MORE

7. 5. Exploring Road Traffic Interactions Between Highly Automated Vehicles and Vulnerable Road Users

   Author : Victor Fabricius; Pontus Wärnestål; Jonas Andersson; Barry Brown; Högskolan i Halmstad; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Automated driving system; Vulnerable road user; Traffic interaction; User Experience;

   Abstract : Understandings of road traffic interactions are largely based on human-human interactions. However, the development of vehicles controlled by highly auto- mated driving systems (ADS) would introduce a radically novel type of road user. READ MORE
