  2. 1. 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

  4. 2. A laboratory vehicle mock-up research work on truck driver’s selected seat position and posture : A mathematical model approach with respect to anthropometry, body landmark locations and discomfort

    Author : Kianoush Fatollahzadeh; Jan Forslin; Roland Kadefoers; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; truck driving; anthropometry; body landmarks; discomfort; sitting posture; Other industrial engineering and economics; Övrig industriell teknik och ekonomi;

    Abstract : Professional truck drivers are highly exposed to fatigue and work related injuries. Truck drivers are common victims of musculoskeletal disorders, frequently suffering from pain symptoms particularly in the neck, shoulder and lower back. This situation is believed to be a contributor to the high absenteeism in this job category. READ MORE

  5. 3. Prediction of discomfort due to transient whole body vibrations

    Author : Peter Jönsson; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Teknisk akustik; Engineering Acoustics;

    Abstract : This Licentiate is about Whole Body Vibrations and focuses on transient vibrations with human's discomfort and motion assessment. Whole Body Vibrations occurs when a body is in contact with a vibrating surface. Whole Body Vibrations is a major problem in terrain vehicle, which affects both the physiological and psychological health and discomfort. READ MORE

  6. 4. On Optimal Mission Planning for Vehicles over Long-distance Trips

    Author : Ahad Hamednia; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Stochastic dynamic programming; Optimal control; Logistics planning; Thermal and charging management; Model predictive control; Mission planning;

    Abstract : This thesis proposes a mission planner for vehicles over long-distance trips, for finding the optimal trade-off between trip time, energy efficiency, and driver comfort, subject to road information, traffic situations, and weather conditions. The mission planner consists of three components, i.e. READ MORE

  7. 5. Analysis of interaction quality in human-machine systems

    Author : Kaisa Nolimo Solman; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : Human-machine systems; warehouse truck; HMI human-interactive interaction ; methodology; holistic ergonomics view;

    Abstract : A product with good interaction quality regarding the interplay with the user produces good performance, is experienced easy, pleasant and enjoyable to use, is preventing the user of committing errors, and has no adverse physical or mental impact on the user. The aim of the presented work was to propose a framework for interaction quality, and to develop and test a methodology for analysis of interactions between humans and machines. READ MORE
