FACTS We are delighted to report that the 3rd International Conference on Driver Distraction and Inattention (DDI 2013) in Gothenburg was, based on the feedback we received from participants, a great success! During the three days on September 4-6, 2013, we had nearly 150 participants in total, with 36% of the visitors coming from outside of Sweden. The delegates came

The 3rd International Conference on Driver Distraction and Inattention (DDI) takes place September 4-6, 2013. It is linked to this Pre-Workshop on Naturalistic Cycling Analysis. The aim of this workshop is to discuss the potential of naturalistic cycling analysis to improve traffic safety. This workshop comprises of two parts: In the first part, current naturalistic cycling studies will be presented

The 3rd International Conference on Driver Distraction and Inattention (DDI) takes place September 4-6, 2013. It is linked to this Pre-Workshop on Investigating Driver Distraction and Inattention using the SHRP2 Data. This workshop will lead participants through different aspects of the SHRP2 NDS dataset through a series of exercises focused on the assessment of distraction and inattention effects. Agenda 9:00

Under sommaren presenterade Myndigheten för samhällsskydd och beredskap en rapport om skadeutvecklingen bland cyklister. Av rapporten framgår det att antalet svårt skadade i cykelolyckor hittills har underskattats kraftigt. Skadestatistiken för motoriserade tvåhjulare som mopeder och motorcyklar är även den dyster – till skillnad från för bilister så minskar inte antalet dödsfall och svåra skador för denna grupp. De flesta olyckor

Experience the future of driving, June 13-14 "Making cooperative systems cooperate" In the future vehicles will be able to communicate with each other and nearby infrastructure. Using this technology the driver may be warned of road works, slippery roads, traffic jams and traffic accidents or get information about when traffic lights will turn green. You will have the opportunity to

Real world evaluations of long-term injury outcome, head injury causation scenarios, misuse, and pre-crash maneuver kinematics The next SAFER doctor is Katarina Bohman, industrial phd student at Karolinska Institute and Autoliv! On the 5th of June she will present and defend her doctoral thesis, which deals with Car Safety for Children Aged 4-12. Katarina is active in the SAFER projects

The project Crossing Electrical and Vehicle Competence (xEVCO) is a joint endeavor by Volvo Cars, Chalmers and SP. The project is supported and funded by Vinnova. The objective is to enable top down design of hybrid systems by developing and demonstrating simulations, models and functions in electrified vehicles. Today the seminar will give some insight into what has been achieved

SAFER and SVEA invites you to a seminar with vehicle dynamic in focus! The purpose of the seminar is to present and discuss interesting issues within and challenges for vehicle dynamics, develop and increase competence, create understanding and interest for vehicle dynamics, and utilize networking between Engineers and Organisations. The seminar is initiated by SVEA and the Vehicle Dynamics Competence

SAFER completed its seventh year on March 31st 2013! To present SAFER's broad competence within vehicle and traffic safety, we have put together an interesting program for you with presentations of seven different projects focused on Pre-Crash Safety, Crash Safety, Post-Crash Safety or Traffic Safety Analysis. Attending the seminar is free of charge and open to everyone who is interested

On Friday May 3rd, 2013, at 10:00, Gustav Markkula will have his licentiate seminar. Gustav is an Industrial PhD Student from Volvo GTT, connected to Department of Applied Mechanics, Chalmers. He is working in the SAFER project Quantitative Driver Behavior Modeling for Active Safety Assessment (QUADRA) . Title: "Evaluating vehicle stability support systems by measuring, analyzing, and modeling driver behavior"

SAFER på Vetenskapsfestivalen: Framtidens trafik - säker och hållbar Fordon kommunicerar med andra fordon, sin omgivning, och sin förare. Kan detta göra trafiken säkrare, effektivare och mer hållbar? Fyra korta föredrag och gemensam diskussion belyser möjligheter och svårigheter med avancerad kommunikation och mänskligt beteende. Framtidens trafik - säker och hållbar är ett entimmas seminarium som SAFER håller i mitt i

SAFER & NTF Väst bjuder in till ett seminarium om personlighet och säkerhet den 22 april 2013. Normala förare – finns de? Vad är en normal, vanlig förare? Vi har alla olika ålder och haft körkort olika länge. Dessutom varierar vår erfarenhet av bilkörning och inte minst vårt teknikintresse. Även vårt mentala tillstånd som exempelvis trötthet, stress och distraktion skiftar
