SAFER invites you to a series of seminars around the vision zero. Seminar 2: June 1st, 13:00-14:00 Pre-hospital care and its impact on saving traffic crash victims lives: Recent evidence Evidence based studies will be used to explain the difference between ”scoop and run” and ”stay and stabilize” approaches. Vulnerable road users The vulnerable road users represent a high risk

SAFER invites you to a series of seminars around the vision zero. Seminar 1: May 29th, 13:00-14:00 "Road Safety Education: How effective is it?" Education, publicity and propaganda remain central to efforts promoting traffic safety. However, there are grave limitations in the effectiveness of these programmes. Theoretical and logistic issues will be explained. Vulnerable road users The vulnerable road users

Agora betyder ”torg” på grekiska. På den tiden var det på torget som man diskuterade olika ämne och fördes debatt i samhälle. Idéen med HMI Agora är att skaffa en mötesplats dit man kommer, diskuterar och debatterar frågor som rör samspel mellan förare, bil och transportsystem. Nästa Agora har temat Adaptivitet Tid: torsdagen den 28 maj kl. 13.00 till kl

Kan vi under överskådlig framtid utveckla en elbil som fullt ut kan konkurrera med traditionellt drivna bilar? Vilka utmaningar - och "revolutioner" behöver klaras av för att vi ska nå dit? Hur lång tid kan det ta? Ett seminarium i samarbete mellan Tekniska Samfundet i Göteborg, Chalmers, Svenska Elektro- och Dataingenjörers Riksförening (SER) och Sveriges Kemiingenjörers Riksförening (SKR). Elbilsseminariet skall

The web connects a wide range of computing units from browser-enabled mobile devices to enterprise computers. These units might be protected from communication with the environment by network-based mechanisms such as fi rewalls. However, allowing the mere possibility of fetching a web page opens up opportunities for delivering potentially malicious executable content past firewalls. This talk summarizes some highlights from

SAFER has completed Stage 1 (April 1st 2006 - March 31st 2009)! To show SAFER’s broad competence within vehicle- and traffic safety, we welcome you to the SAFER Project Day 2009. We have chosen some representative SAFER projects, started during SAFER’s first three years. The seminar is free of charge and open for all. Welcome! Program 09.00-09.10 Welcome Anna Nilsson-Ehle
