  2. 11. Sickness absence and disability pension among individuals injured in a bicycle crash

    Author : Linnea Kjeldgård; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Bicyclists are the road user group with the highest number of severe injuries, yet little is known about the impact of such injuries on sickness absence (SA) and disability pension (DP). Therefore, the aim was to increase the knowledge on factors associated with SA and DP among individuals of working ages, injured in a bicycle crash. READ MORE

  4. 12. Towards Crash-Free Driving: Opportunities and Limitations of Automated Emergency Braking in Intersections

    Author : Ulrich Sander; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; AEB; left turn across path; V2X communication; Intersection; accident avoidance; straight crossing path; automated emergency braking; market penetration; injury mitigation; junction;

    Abstract : Intersections are a global traffic safety concern. In the Unites States, about half of the fatal road traffic accidents take place at intersections or were related to them. In the European Union, about one fifth of the road traffic fatalities occur at intersections. READ MORE

  5. 13. Validity and reliability of vehicle collis : crash pulse recorders for impact severity and injury risk assessment in real-life frontal impacts

    Author : Anders Kullgren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : crash recorder; crash pulse recorder; impact severity; injury risk; real-life impacts; measurement accuracy; neck injuries; long-term consequences; reconstruction;

    Abstract : The general objectives of this thesis were to study the importance of valid and reliable data from real- life collisions, especially the effects of inaccurate data on analyses of eg injury risks. Furthermore an objective was to develop and validate an on-board measurement device for acceleration measurements, to be used in reconstructions of primarily frontal impacts. READ MORE

  6. 14. A New Shoulder for the THOR Dummy Intended for Oblique Collisions

    Author : Fredrik Törnvall; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Shoulder; Shoulder range-of-motion; Volunteers; Kinematics; Biofidelity; Post Mortem Human Subjects; THOR; Crash test dummy; Oblique collision;

    Abstract : Offset and oblique frontal car collisions represent a type of crash in which severe and fatal injuries frequently occur. This indicates the importance of having protective systems in vehicles for these types of collisions. READ MORE

  7. 15. Integration of car and road infrastructure design : crash severity and occupant injury risk evaluations in frontal real-world crashes

    Author : Anders Ydenius; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : During the last decade, traffic safety has not only been a matter of vehicle crashworthiness but an increasing interest can also be observed in the integration between vehicle and road infrastructure design. Research projects with a focus on merging these areas are however in their infancy. READ MORE
