2. 1. Modelling driver steering and neuromuscular behaviour

   Author : Ola Benderius; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; reaching; neuromuscular behaviours; lateral control; driver models; Driver behaviours; active safety; autonomous vehicles;

   Abstract : This thesis challenges the traditional view of treating steering behaviour as a tracking task, instead treating it as a reaching task. Here, reaching refers to a fundamental human behaviour with the the intriguing characteristic of having a linear relationship between maximum speed and distance, effectively making the movement time constant.

4. 2. Driver interaction with vulnerable road users: Modelling driver behaviour in crossing scenarios

   Author : Christian-Nils Åkerberg Boda; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Driver behaviour; Counterfactual analysis; Pedestrian; Driver model; Active Safety; Bicyclist; Euro NCAP;

   Abstract : Every year, more than 5000 pedestrians and 2000 cyclists die on European roads. These vulnerable road users (VRUs) are especially at risk when interacting with cars. Intelligent safety systems (ISSs), designed to mitigate or avoid crashes between cars and VRUs, first entered the market a few years ago, and still need to be improved to be effective. READ MORE

5. 3. A model of attention selection in driving

   Author : Johan A Skifs Engström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; driver modelling; adaptive behaviour; Driver inattention; attention selection; accident analysis; biased competition; driver error; biased competition; driver distraction;

   Abstract : Inattention is one of the most common factors contributing to road crashes. However, the basic mechanisms behind inattention and how it leads to crashes are still relatively poorly understood. READ MORE

6. 4. Energy Consumption and Running Time for Trains : modelling of running resistance and driver behaviour based on full scale testing

   Author : Piotr Lukaszewicz; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Energy consumption; Running time; running resistance; driver behaviour; freight; train; energy coasting method; aerodynamic drag; driver model; degree of coasting; slippage; wind; Energy saving; braking ratio; powering ratio; full scale testing; Vehicle engineering; Farkostteknik;

   Abstract : The accuracy in determined energy consumption and runningtime of trains, by means of computer simulation, is dependent upon the various models used. This thesis aims at developing validated models of running resistance, train and of a generaldriver, all based on full scale testing. READ MORE

7. 5. Driver interaction with vulnerable road users: Understanding and modelling driver behaviour for the design and evaluation of intelligent safety systems

   Author : Christian-Nils Åkerberg Boda; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Euro NCAP; bicyclist; counterfactual analysis; driver behaviour; pedestrian; driver model; Active safety;

   Abstract : Every year, more than 5000 pedestrians and 2000 cyclists die on European roads. These vulnerable road users (VRU) are at especially high risk when interacting with motorised vehicles. READ MORE
