Challenges of improving safety in very safe transport systems
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-11-30)This paper discusses some challenges that may arise when trying to improve safety in systems that are already very safe. Railways in Norway are used as a case of a very safe transport system. The following challenges in ... -
The Impact of Changed Structural Conditions on Regional Sustainable Mobility Planning in Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-12-07)A primary impediment in achieving sustainable mobility objectives is the multi-level and cross-sectoral nature of land-use and transport planning. This paper investigates whether changes in structural conditions have ... -
Does the influence of risk factors on accident occurrence change over time?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-03-11)A large number of studies have been made to assess the relationship between risk factors and accident occurrence. A risk factor is any factor that makes an accident more likely to occur. Very many risk factors have been ... -
Corrigendum to: “Publication bias and time-trend bias in meta-analysis of bicycle helmet efficacy: A re-analysis of Attewell, Glase and McFadden, 2001” [Accid. Anal. Prev. 43 (2011) 1245–1251]
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012-12-23)This paper is a corrigendum to the previously published paper: “Publication bias and time-trend bias in meta-analysis of bicycle helmet efficacy: A re-analysis of Attewell, Glase and McFadden, 2001” [Accid. Anal. Prev. ... -
Competition and substitution between public transport modes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-05-26)The management and understanding of modal split between public transport (PT) modes is of interest for numerous reasons. It may, for example, be desirable to stimulate passengers to switch from crowded buses and over to ... -
Effects on accidents of changes in the use of studded tyres in major cities in Norway: A long-term investigation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-02-12)This paper reports the findings of two studies made eleven years apart in Norway (Fridstrøm, 2000, Elvik and Kaminska, 2011) to evaluate effects on accidents of changes in the use of studded tyres in major cities in Norway. ... -
Methodological guidelines for developing accident modification functions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-04-04)This paper proposes methodological guidelines for developing accident modification functions. An accident modification function is a mathematical function describing systematic variation in the effects of road safety ... -
Taxi: Different Solutions in Different Segments
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014-09-05)Taxis are solving a niche in public transport. They provide a door- to- door service, flexible and available to the general public. But in contrast to most public transport they are not subsidized. Even though the service ... -
Paradoxes of rationality in road safety policy
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-01-09)Rationality is an ideal for transport safety policy. As developed within normative welfare economics, rationality denotes the efficient use of safety measures based on cost–benefit analyses that include all relevant impacts ... -
