    Nyckelord :Heavy Goods Vehicles HGVs ; Rim Impacts; Human Body Models HBM ; Total HUman Model for Safety THUMS ; Hybrid III; ribs; aorta; liver; spleen; injury risk functions; material models; cumulative distribution function CDF ; Ogden; risk curves; Lastbilar; rattislag; humanmodeller; Total HUman Model for Safety THUMS ; Hybrid III; revben; aorta; lever; mjälte; riskfunktioner; materialmodeller; kumulativ fördelningsfunktion; Ogden; riskkurvor;

    Sammanfattning : The interior of heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) differs from passenger cars. Both the steering wheel and the occupant are positioned differently in a HGV and increases the risk of steering wheel rim impacts. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Evaluation of Knee Ligament Injuries in Occupants of Heavy Goods Vehicles by Simulating Frontal Impacts using THUMS HBM

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Författare :Jiota Nusia; [2019]
    Nyckelord :Frontal impacts; Cumulative injury risk curve; Ligament material curves; Total Human Model for Safety THUMS ; Hybrid III- model HIII ; Heavy Goods Vehicles HGV ; Validation; Knee joint; Posterior cruciate ligament PCL ; Medial collateral ligament MCL ; Lateral collateral ligament LCL .;

    Sammanfattning : INTRODUCTION. Frontal collisions have been observed to cause the severe injuries on heavy goods vehicle occupants, and the lower extremities have been frequently injured. Injuries of knee joints are rarely life threatening, however they tend to give long-term consequences. AIM. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Visual Communication between Truck Drivers and the Surroundings : - A Master’s Thesis Project for Increasing Communication and Reducing Accidents between HGV and VRUs

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för ekonomi, teknik och samhälle

    Författare :Emma Styf; [2018]
    Nyckelord :Truck driver; fellow road-users; other road-users; communication; visual communi- cation; vulnerable road-users; intentions; light matrix; front projection; turning projection;

    Sammanfattning : In recent years, accidents between trucks and other vehicles have decreased while accidents be-tween trucks and vulnerable road-users have increased. The reason for this is unknown, which is why this Master’s Thesis project was initiated. LÄS MER
