    Author : Azita Dabiri; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; traffic incident; ramp metering; macroscopic freeway traffic modeling; robust control; incident parameterization;

    Abstract : In the trend toward civilization, transportation has always been considered asan indisputable aspect. However, soon it turned out to be a dilemma in manymetropolitan areas how to assess the increased demand in transportation. The exigency for advanced alternative arises when constructing new roads and infrastructures lost its eligibility due to i. READ MORE

  4. 2. Impacts of Traffic Signal Control Strategies

    Author : Azhar Al-Mudhaffar; Karl-Lennart Bång; Nagui M. Rouphail; KTH; []
    Keywords : Driver behavior; Dilemma zone; Incident reduction; Signal control; Lhovra; Spot; Pribuss; Bus priority; Field measurement; Simulation; Calibration; Traffic performance; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : Traffic signals are very cost effective tools for urban traffic management in urban areas. The number of intersections in Sweden controlled by traffic signals has increased since the seventies, but efforts to study the traffic performance of the employed strategies are still lacking.

  5. 3. TRIAGE : Management of the trauma patient

    Author : Maria Lampi; Thore Vikström; Carl-Oscar Jonson; Ives Hubloue; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Triage, derived from the French word for sorting, aims to assess and prioritize injured patients, regardless of whether the injuries are sustained from everyday road traffic accident with few injured or a mass casualty incident. Triage seeks to provide the greatest benefit to the largest number of casualties in order to minimize morbidity and mortality. READ MORE

  6. 4. Short-Term Traffic Prediction in Large-Scale Urban Networks

    Author : Matej Cebecauer; Erik Jenelius; Wilco Burghout; Balázs Kulcsár; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; travel time prediction; short-term travel time prediction; traffic prediction; clustering; partitioning; spatio-temporal partitioning; large-scale prediction; PPCA; 3D speed map; Transportvetenskap; Transport Science;

    Abstract : City-wide travel time prediction in real-time is an important enabler for efficient use of the road network. It can be used in traveler information to enable more efficient routing of individual vehicles as well as decision support for traffic management applications such as directed information campaigns or incident management.

  7. 5. Functional Modeling of Constraint Management in Aviation Safety and Command and Control

    Author : Rogier Woltjer; Erik Hollnagel; Kip Smith; René Amalberti; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cognitive science; Kognitionsvetenskap;

    Abstract : This thesis has shown that the concept of constraint management is instrumental in understanding the domains of command and control and aviation safety. Particularly, functional modeling as a means to address constraint management provides a basis for analyzing the performance of socio-technical systems. READ MORE
