We are pleased to announce the 2014 IAVSD Workshop on Automated Driving and Autonomous Functions on Road Vehicles. T his will be held on August 27-29, 2014 in the beautiful city of Gothenburg on the West coast of Sweden. The topic of the workshop is the system dynamics of self-driven vehicles - those that with full or partial autonomy in

Beaming crashes into the trauma room:
 Crash injury assessment in the field Speaker: Dr. Dan McGehee, University of Iowa In the US, advanced life support paramedics arriving at the scene of a motor vehicle crash have advanced training that allows them to make important life-saving decisions without conferring with supervising doctors from a trauma center. The downside of this independence

Fordon som drivs med batterier och elektriska motorer, s.k. "e-fordon" (el- och elhybridfordon), blir allt vanligare på svenska vägar. Därmed ökar risken att sådant fordon hamnar i en trafikskadehändelse. Vad kan då hända med e-fordon i trafikskadehändelse? De två forskningsprojekten FFI-Räddningskedjan och EVERSAFE har undersökt scenarier kring denna fråga genom bred omvärldsanalys och fysiskt förstörande provning på e-fordon och batterisystem
