  2. 1. The effect of anti-slip devices on pedestrian safety : method development and practical test

    Author : Glenn Berggård; Christer Hydén; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Traffic Engineering; Trafikteknik;

    Abstract : Every winter, more than 100,000 pedestrians in the Nordic countries receive medical treatment as a result of falls on slippery surfaces. In addition, the risk of injury reduces interest in outdoor activities during the wintertime. READ MORE

  4. 2. Wet clutch tribology : friction characteristics in limited slip differentials

    Author : Rikard Mäki; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Maskinelement; Machine Elements;

    Abstract : In recent years, electronically controlled automotive transmission systems, where wet clutches are used as intelligent differentials, have appeared in the market. These applications impose great demands on the transmission fluids and friction materials used as well as on controllability and vibration preventive (anti-shudder) properties of the clutch systems.

  5. 3. Evaluation of Swedish Ice Cleat Distribution Programs : From Program Design to Ice Cleat Use

    Author : Robin Holmberg; Carl Bonander; Johanna Gustavsson; Mikael Svensson; Agneta Larsson; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; program evaluation; ice cleats; anti-slip devices; usage rates; older adults; Risk and Environmental Studies; Risk- och miljöstudier;

    Abstract : Winter conditions, characterized by snow and lowered temperatures, can make travel by foot difficult. Older adults aged 65 and above are especially at risk of slipping and falling on icy or snowy surfaces. Minor falls can result in severe injuries due to their frailty. READ MORE

  6. 4. Slip and fall risk on ice and snow : identification, evaluation and prevention

    Author : Chuansi Gao; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Industrial Work Environment; Industriell produktionsmiljö;

    Abstract : Slip and fall accidents and associated injuries on ice and snow are prevalent among outdoor workers and the general public in winter in many regions of the world. To understand and tackle this multi-factorial problem, a multidisciplinary approach was used to identify and evaluate slip and fall risks, and to propose recommendations for prevention of slips and falls on icy and snowy surfaces.

  7. 5. Synthesis of a Model-based Tire Slip Controller

    Author : Stefan Solyom; Institutionen för reglerteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; LMI; synthesis; hybrid; piecewise linear; ABS; PID;

    Abstract : The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is an important component of a complex steering system for the modern car. In the latest generation of brake-by-wire systems, the performance requirements on the ABS have changed. The controllers have to be able to maintain a specified tire slip for each wheel during braking. READ MORE
