  2. 1. A Traffic Simulation Modeling Framework for Rural Highways

    Author : Andreas Tapani; Jan Lundgren; Karl-Lennart Bång; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Traffic; Micro; Simulation; Model; Overtaking; Speed; Headway; Rural road; Electronic driving aid; Mathematical model; Road: Traffic theory; Road: Traffic theory; Other technology;

    Abstract : Models based on micro-simulation of traffic flows have proven to be useful tools in the study of various traffic systems. Today, there is a wealth of traffic microsimulation models developed for freeway and urban street networks. The road mileage is however in many countries dominated by rural highways. READ MORE

  4. 2. Vehicular Communication in Obstructed and Non Line-of-Sight Scenarios

    Author : Dimitrios Vlastaras; Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communications; Channel Modeling; Vehicular Communication; Truck Obstruction; Channel Emulation; Radar; 802.11p; Car; Truck; Accident Avoidance; V2V; V2I; C2C; V2X;

    Abstract : Since the invention of the first car available to masses, the 1908 Ford Model T, technology has advanced towards making car travel safer for occupants and bystanders. In recent years, wireless communication has been introduced in the vehicular industry as a means to avoid accidents and save lives. READ MORE

  5. 3. Communication and Networking Techniques for Traffic Safety Systems

    Author : Ioan Chisalita; Nahid Shahmehri; Shie-Yuan Wang; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Vehicular communication; networkking; safety-data; Telecommunication; Telekommunikation;

    Abstract : Accident statistics indicate that every year a significant number of casualties and extensive property losses occur due to traffic accidents. Consequently, efforts are directed towards developing passive and active safety systems that help reduce the severity of crashes, or prevent vehicles from colliding with one another. READ MORE

  6. 4. Biomechanical Analysis of Fall Injuries using Finite Element Modeling

    Author : Pooya Sahandifar; Svein Kleiven; Viveca Wallqvist; Yunhua Luo; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Fall induced injury; finite element analysis; rubberized asphalt mixture; shock-absorbing pavement; hip fracture; elderly; sideways fall; whole-body model;

    Abstract : A fall is a serious health issue for the elderly. Among different fall types, the sideways fall is considered to be more severe concerning the injury outcome. READ MORE

  7. 5. Decision-Making in Automotive Collision Avoidance Systems

    Author : Mattias Brännström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; decision-making; collision avoidance; active safety; threat assessment; driver modeling;

    Abstract : This thesis is concerned with decision-making in systems that can detect hazardous traffic situations and assist drivers in avoiding collisions by using automatic braking or steering. The aim with these systems is to reduce the number of accidents and their consequences without disturbing the driver with unnecessary interventions during normal traffic conditions. READ MORE
