2. 1. Having a New Pair of Glasses : Applying Systemic Accident Models on Road Safety

   Author : Yu-Hsing Huang; Erik Hollnagel; Pietro Carlo Cacciabue; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; accident model; road safety; accident prevention; accident analysis; Cognitive science; Kognitionsvetenskap;

   Abstract : The main purpose of the thesis is to discuss the accident models which underlie accident prevention in general and road safety in particular, and the consequences of relying on a particular model have for actual preventive work. The discussion centres on two main topics. READ MORE

4. 2. Influence Of Road Feature Variables On Accident Rate

   Author : Sarbaz Najib Othman; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; safe road geometry; accident rate; black spots; accident causation; Traffic safety;

   Abstract : The main objective of this traffic safety investigation was to find critical road parameters affecting accident rate (AR). The secondary objective was to analyze any identified risk factors from a vehicle dynamics perspective. READ MORE

5. 3. 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. Computer based statistical treatment in models with incidental parameters : inspired by car crash data

   Author : Anna Vadeby; Ola Hössjer; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mathematical model; Accident; Statistics; Analysis; Driver; Characteristics; MATHEMATICS; MATEMATIK; 812 Road: Collation of accident statistics; 812 Road: Collation of accident statistics;

   Abstract : Bootstrap and Markov chain Monte Carlo methods have received much attention in recent years. We study computer intensive methods that can be used in complex situations where it is not possible to express the likelihood estimates or the posterior analytically. The work is inspired by a set of car crash data from real traffic. READ MORE

7. 5. Road Safety Development Index : Theory, Philosophy and Practice

   Author : Ghazwan Al-Haji; Kenneth Asp; Karl-Lennart Bång; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Transport; Road Traffic; Sustainability; Road safety; European research cooperation; Civil engineering and architecture; Research on Europe; Public health science; Statistics; Civil engineering and architecture; Samhällsbyggnadsteknik och arkitektur;

   Abstract : This dissertation develops, presents and tests a new international tool, the so-called Road Safety Development Index (RSDI), which indicates in a comprehensive and easy way the severity of the road safety situation in a specific country and/or in comparison with other countries. There are three pillars of outcomes involved in the framework of RSDI. READ MORE
