The total number of road crashes in Europe is decreasing, but the number of crashes involving cyclists is not decreasing at the same rate. To help car drivers avoid or mitigate crashes while overtaking a cyclist,

Every year, more than 5000 pedestrians and 2000 cyclists die on European roads. These vulnerable road users (VRUs) are especially at risk when interacting with cars. Intelligent safety systems (ISSs), designed to mitigate or avoid crashes

Recent years have seen a rapid increase in the number of passenger cars equipped with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADASs), a development that affects the nature of future vehicle crashes. Predicting this change, understanding future crash
An explorative user study was performed to study seat belt fit, perceived comfort and safety awareness of older adults in the front passenger seat of a large, stationary passenger car. The study included 55 participants between

The purpose was to study how occupant age affects seat belt fit and comfort by comparing older adults and younger occupants in the front seat of a passenger vehicle. Methods: An exploratory user study was performed
Recently developed Human Body Model (HBM) morphing methods using parametric representative target geometries have enabled morphing of a baseline HBM to many anthropometries, including elderly females. This study investigated the potential benefits for thoracic injury risk

A child dies in road traffic crashes every fourth minute. Totally were 186 300 children under the age of 18 killed in vehicle accidents in 2012, even more were severely injured [1]. The World Health Organisation
To improve the future design of restraint systems, it is important to know how passengers’ sitting postures change over time and how the passengers interact with the restraint systems. This master thesis at Chalmers University of
The development in the car industry is going towards autonomous cars where the borderbetween a driver and a passenger is gradually diminished. In the future the driver will be more similar to a passenger since the
Interactions between autonomous vehicles (AV) and pedestrians remain an ongoing area of research within the AutoUI community and beyond. Given the challenge of conducting studies to understand and prototype these interactions, we propose a combined full-day
