  2. 21. Searching for causal effects of road traffic safety interventions : applications of the interrupted time series design

    Author : Carl Bonander; Ragnar Andersson; Finn Nilson; Claes Tingvall; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Causal inference; Repeated measures; Methodology; Econometrics; Injury Epidemiology; Vulnerable Road Users; Time series analysis; Risk- och Miljöstudier; Risk and Environmental Studies;

    Abstract : Traffic-related injuries represent a global public health problem, and contribute largely to mortality and years lived with disability worldwide. Over the course of the last decades, improvements to road traffic safety and injury surveillance systems have resulted in a shift in focus from the prevention of motor vehicle accidents to the control of injury events involving vulnerable road users (VRUs), such as cyclists and moped riders.

  4. 22. Towards optimized instrument panels

    Author : Carl Jörgen Normark; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Industrial Design; Industriell design;

    Abstract : Today, automobiles are becoming more and more technologically complex, with more and more built-in driver information systems. This increases the amount and range of information the driver needs to be aware of while driving. READ MORE

  5. 23. Functional and environmental factors in early phases of product development - Eco functional matrix

    Author : Jessica Lagerstedt; KTH; []
    Keywords : design for environment; life-cycle design; eco-design; eco-design methods; product environmental characteristics; product functional characteristics;

    Abstract : Interest in environmental issues has increased enormouslyover the last few decades and environmental problems areperceived to be on the increase. Due to the fact that thenumber of products on the market increases enormously, it isevident that we face a great challenge to overcome the problemconcerning our consumer society. READ MORE

  6. 24. Computational Road Mechanics - with Emphasis on FE-analysis of Rutting

    Author : Johan Olsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; non-linear FEM; multi-layer structure; asphalt concrete; road design; material models; unbound material;

    Abstract : A road is a very complex structure in which a large number of different structural phenomena occur simultaneously that effects its expected lifetime. The structure itself is of a multi-layer type, in which the different layers consist of materials that exhibit vastly different physical behaviors when subjected to various kinds of loads. READ MORE
