  4. 2. Tracking Theory for Preventive Safety Systems

    Author : Lars Danielsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; vehicle tracking; sensor data fusion; automotive; active safety systems; sensor models; warning integration; motion models; fusion strategies; human machine interface; preventive safety systems;

    Abstract : Preventive safety systems rely on accurate information from a sensing system regarding the current traffic situation to make decision whether to inform, warn or intervene to avoid an impeding collision or to mitigate its consequences. This thesis mainly considers tracking algorithms to enhance these systems through making the best use of the information supplied by on-vehicle sensors, such as radar and vision sensors. READ MORE

  5. 3. Models for tracking in automotive safety systems

    Author : Fredrik Bengtsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; motion models; active safety; vehicle tracking; Automotive; radar detections; preventive safety;

    Abstract : This thesis treats the three main components of a tracking system: motion models, sensor models and implementation architecture. A tracking system utilizes models to extract as much information as possible from a set of sensors, with the purpose of estimating the state of a dynamic system. READ MORE

  6. 4. Failure-Free Pharmacies? : An Exploration of Dispensing Errors and Safety Culture in Swedish Community Pharmacies

    Author : Annika Nordén-Hägg; Åsa Kettis-Lindblad; Sofia Kälvemark-Sporrong; Peter Noyce; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : pharmacy; quality; dispensing errors; safety culture; safety climate; Sweden;

    Abstract : Quality in pharmacies includes aspects such as error management and safety issues. The objective of this thesis was to explore these aspects of quality in Swedish community phar-macies. The specific aims were to compare a paper-based and a web-based reporting system for dispensing errors, regarding reporting behaviour and data quality. READ MORE

  7. 5. Patient safety during intrahospital transports in intensive care. Hazards, experiences and future measurements

    Author : Lina Bergman; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ethnography; human factors engineering; intensive care; instrument development; intrahospital transport; nursing; patient safety; patient transfers; safety hazards;

    Abstract : Patient safety is an attribute of the healthcare system that minimizes the incidence of adverse events (AEs), and that entails identifying the causes of harm and preventive strategies. Intrahospital transport (IHT) of patients in intensive care is a process associated with AEs and patient complications. READ MORE
