2. 16. Industrial Safety: Principles for Safety Management based on Emperical Studies

   Author : Petra Willquist; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; safety analysis; method; risk; occupational safety; production; food industry; accidents; manufacturing;

   Abstract : Although safety management has developed considerably during the last decades, occupational accidents still contribute to work-related health problems worldwide. This thesis investigates occupational accidents in production environments, explores existing safety management and provides some insights into why it fails to function in a satisfactory manner.

4. 17. Road Safety Development Index : Theory, Philosophy and Practice

   Author : Ghazwan Al-Haji; Kenneth Asp; Karl-Lennart Bång; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Transport; Road Traffic; Sustainability; Road safety; European research cooperation; Civil engineering and architecture; Research on Europe; Public health science; Statistics; Civil engineering and architecture; Samhällsbyggnadsteknik och arkitektur;

   Abstract : This dissertation develops, presents and tests a new international tool, the so-called Road Safety Development Index (RSDI), which indicates in a comprehensive and easy way the severity of the road safety situation in a specific country and/or in comparison with other countries. There are three pillars of outcomes involved in the framework of RSDI. READ MORE

5. 18. 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

6. 19. Park Matters: : Studies on Safety and Property Values

   Author : Asifa Iqbal; Vania Ceccato; Mats Wilhelmsson; Karina Landman; KTH; []

   Abstract : This study develops a better understanding of the nature of urban parks from a safety perspective in two international contexts. To achieve this aim, the study is divided into two geographical scales (a macro scale and a micro scale) that test a set of quantitative and qualitative research methods. READ MORE

7. 20. Compliance Control of Robot Manipulator for Safe Physical Human Robot Interaction

   Author : Muhammad Rehan Ahmed; Ivan Kalaykov; Kystof Kozlowksi; Örebro universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Physical human robot interaction; collision safety; variable stiffness actuators; compliance control; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP; Automatic control; Reglerteknik; Reglerteknik; Automatic Control;

   Abstract : Inspiration from biological systems suggests that robots should demonstrate same level of capabilities that are embedded in biological systems in performing safe and successful interaction with the humans. The major challenge in physical human robot interaction tasks in anthropic environment is the safe sharing of robot work space such that robot will not cause harm or injury to the human under any operating condition.
