  2. 1. Safety at Rail-Road Level Crossings

    Author : Mohammad Shahriari; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; driver behaviour; risk analysis; traffic safety; rail road crossings; safety;

    Abstract : Safety related to traffic at rail/road level crossings has long been a major issue for rail operators all over the world. Eliminating these level crossings entirely would be a desirable solution. However converting them into separate types is very expensive and not reasonable in many cases, e.g. READ MORE

  4. 2. A method for analysing the traffic process in a safety perspective

    Author : Åse Svensson; Trafik och väg; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; intermediate method; Accidents; pedestrian safety; safety hierarchy; severity; traffic conflicts; interaction; road user behaviour; traffic safety; traffic process; time to accidents; safety indicators; surrogate measures;

    Abstract : The aim of this study is to extend the traffic safety assessment concept to also include normal road user behaviour, thus not only exceptional behaviours such as accidents and serious conflicts. The goal is to provide a framework for a more thorough description and analysis of safety related road user behaviour in order to better understand the traffic safety processes. READ MORE

  5. 3. Public road safety policy change and its implementation : Vision zero a road safety policy innovation

    Author : Matts-Åke Belin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Vision Zero;

    Abstract : It has been estimated that, worldwide, the number of people killed in road traffic crashes each year is almost 1.2 million, while the number of injured could be as high as 50 million. READ MORE

  6. 4. Traffic Safety Potential and Effectiveness of Lane Keeping Support

    Author : Simon Sternlund; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Traffic Safety; AES; Lane keeping; Effectiveness; LDW; Lateral positioning; ELK; CLRS;

    Abstract : In the road transport system, crashes due to lane departure account for a large proportion of the most severe crashes that passenger car occupants are exposed to. While Electronic Stability Control (ESC) effectively prevents lane departure due to loss of control, lane departure due to unintentional drifting has not been addressed to the same extent. READ MORE

  7. 5. Towards an assessment of safety and security interplay in automated driving systems

    Author : Martin Skoglund; Hans Hansson; Sasikumar Punnekkat; Fredrik Warg; Georg Macher; Mälardalens universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Functional Safety; Cybersecurity; Automotive; Automated Drivning; Assessment; Computer Science; datavetenskap;

    Abstract : We are currently in the midst of significant changes in the road transport system, including the transformation to fossil-free propulsion and the shift to higher levels of automation. The next level in automation is soon upon us and is encompassed by the broader term Connected, Cooperative and Automated Mobility (CCAM) which is relevant for the entire transportation system.
