2. 1. A methodology for operations-based safety appraisal of two-lane rural highways : Application in Uganda

   Author : Godfrey Mwesige; Harilaos Koutsopoulos; Basil Psarianos; KTH; []
   Keywords : passing zones; passing rate; collision risk; accepted gap; time-to-collision; passing sight distance; two-lane rural highways; Uganda; Transportvetenskap; Transport Science;

   Abstract : The majority of the road infrastructure in developing countries consists oftwo-lane highways with one lane in each travel direction. Operational efficiency of these highways is derived fromintermittent passing zones where fast vehicles are permitted by design to pass slow vehicles using the opposite traffic lane. READ MORE

4. 2. Public Policy and the Governance of Biofuel Systems

   Author : Lorenzo Di Lucia; Miljö- och energisystem; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; transport; Biofuels; governance; policy; governability;

   Abstract : The dependency of transport on oil fuels is responsible for risks of energy supply security, and local, regional and global environmental problems, including the emission of greenhouse gases affecting the Earth’s climate system. Biofuels attracted considerable attention in recent years as a solution to these problems. READ MORE

5. 3. Same, Same but Different: On the Design of Cross-Regional Advisory Traffic Information Systems

   Author : Minjuan Wang; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; traffic safety culture; driving behavior; visual auditory; advisory traffic information system; cross-regional adaptation design; user interface design; information requirements;

   Abstract : As the automotive markets increase rapidly in developing countries, the study of cross-regional differences is certainly becoming an important consideration for in-vehicle technology design. Particularly, when moving from immediate/operational responses to warnings towards tactical responses to advisory information, culture in the form of traffic safety culture (TSC) comes into play in relation to both the information needs and drive behaviours.

6. 4. Towards a Safe System Approach to Prevent Health Loss among Motorcyclists

   Author : Matteo Rizzi; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Stability; ABS; Safe System; Motorcycle; Powered Two Wheelers; Antilock Brakes;

   Abstract : Health loss among motorcyclists is a global road safety problem for which innovative countermeasures are needed. While the traditional motorcycle safety approach has focused on protective gear and rider education, the Safe System approach adopted in Sweden and other countries implies that the road, the vehicle and the road user, in conjunction with a safe speed limit, should interact to create a safe road transport system.
