21. Consequences of Traffic Casualties in Relation to Traffic-Engineering Factors - An Analysis in Short-term and Long-term Perspectives
Abstract : The over-arching objectives of this thesis were to formulate a method to describe the consequences of traffic casualties, and to explain the influence of different traffic engineering factors on these consequences for society and individuals over time. A more detailed objective was to examine whether available short-term indicators can be used to predict consequences in a long-term perspective. READ MORE

22. Managing trafic safety : an approach to the evaluation of new vehicle safety systems
Abstract : Road traffic crashes are killing more than one million road users per year, worldwide. Preventive measures to decrease this number are warranted. Relevant measures can be to introduce systematic road traffic safety management and to improve the safety pro- perties of components in the road transport system. READ MORE

23. Facing failures : interactions between drivers and advanced driver assistance systems
Abstract : Drivers interactions with advanced driver assistance systems based on experiences from real driving and results from driving in a driving simulator were under investigation in this thesis. Questions posed were: - How do drivers perceive and interact with ADAS? - How are (technical) failures handled by drivers, and which are the consequences of these failures? - Which are the implications for diagnosis and detection of failures, as well as for system development? Special attention was given to driver behavior in response to technical failures in an adaptive cruise control system. READ MORE

24. Willingness to Pay for a Reduction in Road Mortality Risk: Evidence from Sweden
Abstract : The thesis consists of an introductory chapter, followed by three chapters in which willingness to pay (WTP) for a reduction in car- and road-mortality risk is estimated using both revealed- and stated-preference methods. In chapter 2 the hedonic regression technique is used to estimate the value of traffic safety, using information from the Swedish market for automobiles. READ MORE

25. Understanding Subgroups of Novice Drivers : A Basis for Increased Safety and Health
Abstract : Every year, drivers throughout the world are killed or injured in road traffic, particularly in developing countries. Young drivers run a greater risk everywhere, and this problem is still largely unsolved. Better understanding of the underlying processes could, however, be a useful tool in preventive endeavours.
