    Abstract : This dissertation constitutes a critical examination of Swedish spatial planning for safety. Spatial planning for safety rests on a number of assumptions about the desired order of the world. These assumptions appear as given and unproblematic, making the formulation of alternatives appear unnecessary. READ MORE

  4. 2. Safety Evaluation of Road Characteristics

    Author : Sarbaz Najib Othman; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Accident data; FOT data; Overtaking maneuvers; Road safety; PC-Crash; Critical road parameters; Horizontal curves;

    Abstract : Accidents are rare and widely distributed on the road network, which poses a challenge for road safety improvement. Traditional methods alone, such as accident analyses and experimental studies, do not explain all accident causation factors. READ MORE

  6. 4. Risk Assessment of Hygrothermal Performance - Building Envelope Retrofit

    Author : Simon Pallin; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; retrofit; Risk; hygrothermal; simulations.; residential; mold; energy savings;

    Abstract : A risk assessment of the hygrothermal performance for a building envelope retrofit investigates possible variations in energy performance, indoor environment quality and moisture safety and elaborates on the risks of exceeding defined acceptance criteria. These risks can be properly determined if including the variability of, by the investigated retrofit, most influencing parameters. READ MORE
