2. 1. Assessment of existing concrete bridges : bending stiffness as a performance indicator

   Author : Markus Bergström; Paulo J. de S. Cruz; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Structural Engineering; Konstruktionsteknik;

   Abstract : Optimizing the use of existing civil reinforced concrete (RC) structures could be interpreted in such a way as to say that the capacity should be used and taken care of in an effective manner, both from a technical and economical point of view, keeping the safety in mind. Achieving this requires thorough understanding of the structure and also of the tools used for assessing current and future capacity and needs. READ MORE

4. 2. Integrated Pedestrian Safety Assessment: A Method to Evaluate Combinations of Active and Passive Safety

   Author : Nils Lübbe; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; AEB; assessment; pedestrian; comfort boundary; driver behaviour; False Positive; integrated safety; airbag; FCW; reaction time;

   Abstract : Pedestrian road casualties are a major concern in many countries. Vehicle safety systems attempt to reduce casualties, and the accurate assessment of such systems is therefore essential. Passive safety assessment is well established, and additional active safety assessment has recently emerged. READ MORE

   Abstract : With increasing awareness that maintenance not only ensures safety and track performance, but also creates additional value in the business process; many infrastructure managers and owners are treating maintenance as an integral part of the business process. This is also true for the Banverket (Swedish National Rail Administration). READ MORE

6. 4. Clinical quality and performance measurement in the prehospital emergency medical services in the low-to-middle-income setting : developing clinical quality and performance indicators as a measure of care in South Africa

   Author : Ian Howard; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : BACKGROUND: Measuring quality and safety in any healthcare setting however is highly contextual, and depends on the manner in which quality is defined or viewed within that setting. It is this contextual nature that has provoked significant debate and hindered efforts at developing formal standards or criteria for measuring quality and safety in healthcare, regardless of setting.

7. 5. A safe road transport system : factors influencing injury outcome for car occupants

   Author : Helena Stigson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Crash pulse recorder; crash severity; injury prevention; real-life crashes; road safety; safety performance indicator; holistic;

   Abstract : Given that over a million people are fatally injured in road accidents each year, the need for a systematic proactive approach is undeniable. The Swedish Road Administration (SRA) has developed a model for a safe road transport system based on the Vision Zero philosophy, to identify and prevent deviations from a safe system approach with regard to crashes.
