description: Female representation in the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) is at the highest it has been (16.48%) since women were allowed to integrate in 1965. While the sex ratio is similar to our allies, the government of Canada aims to increase the female membership to 25% by 2026 and have prioritised identifying avenues to increase recruitment and retention. Musculoskeletal injuries (MSKi), specifically repetitive strain injuries (RSI), are a leading cause of attrition in female service members of the CAF. Understanding what health and performance factors are associated with the increased attrition related to RSIs may help further the knowledge that can support female service members throughout each phase of their career. This thesis undertook two studies that aimed to uncover how reproductive health and lower body performance was associated with lower body RSI. The goal of the first study was to ascertain if female reproductive health characteristics (i.e., irregular menstruation, hormonal birth control use, late age of menarche, parity) were associated with lower body RSI (e.g., knee, ankle, foot, etc.), and if so, which ones. Cross-sectional data were collected via questionnaire from n=2,001 (female n=855) service members of the CAF. Females who had reported experiencing irregular menstruation were more likely to report having sustained a hip, knee, or lower leg RSI, while those having given birth reported RSIs of the foot more often. The objective of the second study was to see whether previous RSI in the lower body was associated with poorer lower body physical performance compared to those who had not sustained a previous lower body RSI. A set of 90 female service members underwent a series of tasks such as, sit-and-reach, long jump, back squat, wall-sit, and treadmill VO2max. Female service members who reported a previous ankle RSI were found to be associated with higher VO2max compared to those not reporting ankle RSI. Together, the results of the thesis demonstrate and identify potential reproductive health and physical performance factors associated with lower body RSI in female service member.

description: I perioden siden begyndelsen af 1990'erne er der sket en gennemgribende ændring af rollefordelingen i og den institutionelle organisering af den kollektive trafik i Danmark. Udviklingen har været et pro- dukt af en række forhold: Den europæiske politisk-økonomiske bevægelse henimod privatisering og selskabshenlæggelse af offentlige driftsaktiviteter igangsat ikke mindst fra Storbritannien, de stigende konkrete problemer med at drive en række kollektive transportaktiviteter i Danmark inden for de hid- tidige rammer, behovet for at skaffe midler fra privatiseringsprovenuerne til finansering af offentlige udgifter, mv. I dette oplæg drøftes en række af de problemstillinger, som de institutionelle ændringer har givet anledning til.

description: Opretholdelsen af offentlig transport i landområder er overvejende begrundet i sociale hensyn til de befolkningsgrupper der ikke har andre transportmuligheder. De primære målgrupper for den kollektive transport på landet defineres normalt som dem der ikke har alder eller helbred til at køre bil. I udredningen ”Kollektiv transport på landet – børn, unge og ældres perspektiv”(Transportrådets rapport nr. 02-03), beskrives hvordan den kollektive transport på landet lever op til de primære målgruppers behov. Dette paper er identisk med rapportens sammenfatning.

Public Transport Provision in Two Cities – Oxford and Odense
Creators: name: Holvad, Torben
Publisher: name: Proceedings from the Annual Transport Conference at Aalborg University
Year: 2002

description: In the last decade(s) significant changes in the regulatory structure of urban public transport have been implemented in a number of European countries including United Kingdom, Sweden, Germany and Denmark. Although, there are differences between the countries in terms of the details of the reforms general trends include some form of deregulation in order to enable entry to the public transport industry. In most cases deregulation has been linked to the introduction of competitive tendering procedures for the selection of the public transport service operators such that increased competition is mainly off the road rather than on the road. These trends are supported by EC initiatives; in particular the proposals for the revision of Regulation 91/1893 include provisions for competitive tendering for public transport services where contracts should be valid for a fixed term. This paper will provide a comparison of public transport provision in two cities, Odense and Oxford, in terms of organisational and regulatory frameworks used for bus service provision. A comparison of these cities is interesting because public transport is organised in significantly different ways – in Oxford; bus services are based on an open entry model, whereas bus services in Odense are provided by a public entity (Odense Bytrafik). In contrast to the rest of Great Britain usage of buses in Oxford has increased significantly since bus deregulation was implemented through the Transport Act 1985.

Development of a transcriptional repressor based approach for the treatment of prostate cancer
Creators: name: Fioretti, Flavia Marialucia
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2017

description: Prostate cancer is currently treated with hormonal therapies, which aim to block the production and/or action of androgens. However, tumours eventually progress to castration-resistant prostate cancer and there is therefore still a great need for new therapeutic approaches. We have designed and tested engineered repressors which could be effective in circumstances where current therapies fail. These consist of two modules: an interaction domain, which binds directly to the androgen receptor (AR), and a transcriptional co-repressor domain, that promotes the formation of a transcriptional inhibitory complex. The most effective interaction domain tested is part of the AR N-terminus itself (aa 1-54), containing the 23FQNLF27 motif, which has been fused, respectively, to the Krüppel associated box (KRAB) and the MAD-SID dominant transcription repression domain. I have shown these engineered repressors to suppress AR activity through disruption of the AR N-/C-terminal interaction, destabilization of the AR protein and promoting the recruitment of histone deacetylase (HDACs) to AR. Expression of engineered repressors in prostate cancer cells leads to down-regulation of target gene expression. I have also demonstrated that the repressors are effective in models of castration resistance, for instance presence of mutant forms of the AR and increased co-activator expression. The ultimate goal is to create a novel highly specific therapeutic effective in resistant stages of the disease, that can be administered systemically or delivered specifically to the prostate, therefore minimizing the deleterious side-effects associated with current therapies used to target the androgenic axis.
Forandring, Forankring og Formidling - en strategi for Trafikpuljeprojekter
Creators: name: Forsting, Vibeke

description: I forbindelse med Trafikpuljebevillingen uddelte Vejdirektoratet i 1995 knap 40 mio. kr. til i alt 10 demonstrationsprojekter til at forbedre trafiksikkerhed og miljø i de danske kommuner. Den overordnede strategi for demonstrationsprojekterne er, at de resultater og erfaringer om metoder og teknikker, der indhentes via projekterne, bliver cementeret bredt i de kommunale forvaltninger og spredes til de kommuner, der ikke selv er tilknyttet trafikpuljen. Kort sagt er det formålet, at trafikanternes adfærd skal forandres, erfaringerne herom skal forankres og resultaterne skal formidles. Dette gør også evaluering af projekterne til en meget central del af det samlede trafikpuljeprojekt.

description: I forbindelse med aftalen mellem regeringen og Amtsrådsforeningen i foråret 1998 blev det besluttet, at der skulle ses på ansvarsfordelingen i den regionale togtrafik. Ved en omlægning af ansvaret kan man ligeledes forestille sig en ændring i sammensætningen af den regionale, kollektive trafik generelt - eksempelvis ved en øget erstatning af togbetjening med bus. Der er derfor foretaget en række analyser af problemstillingen, der bl.a. belyser: * økonomiske og efterspørgselsmæssige konsekvenser ved en omlægning af den regionale, kollektive trafik betjening fra tog til bus, * regionale trafikanters præferencer for den kollektive trafik og * netværksrelaterede effekter i det øvrige kollektive trafiksystem I dette paper præsenteres baggrunden for arbejdet, de anvendte metoder samt de indledende resultater af analyserne.

Railways in Transition: A Review of Five Countries
Creators: name: Holvad, Torben
Publisher: name: Proceedings from the Annual Transport Conference at Aalborg University
Year: 2002

description: The organisation of passenger railways is currently undergoing significant changes in a number of countries in Europe as well as in the rest of the World. Traditionally, railways have been organised nationally as state monopolies responsible for both infrastructure and services, but recent years have seen a move away from this model. In particular, infrastructure and services have been separated in EU countries (although in other parts of the world vertical integrated railways are still present) and there have also been initiatives regarding deregulation, internationalisation and privatisation. A key motivation for initiating reforms of the railway sector in the different countries is often a perceived lack of customer orientation and the cost inefficiencies due to a lack of competitive pressure. In this paper railway reforms in five countries will be reviewed: Japan, New Zealand, United Kingdom, Sweden and Denmark. These countries cover a number of dimensions of railway reform including privately vs. publicly owned companies, vertical integration vs. vertical separation, tendering vs. no tendering.

Statslige selskaber på transportområdet
Creators: name: Duer, Henrik
Publisher: name: Proceedings from the Annual Transport Conference at Aalborg University
Year: 2002

description: I løbet af 1990’erne er en række opgaver inden for trafikområdet blevet henlagt i offentlige selskaber. Etablering af statslige selskaber på transportområdet er ofte begrundet med ønske om at fremme effektivitet i opgavevaretagelsen og sikre større afstand til det politiske system. Dette skal ses i sammenhæng med EU’s politik om etablering af et indre transportmarked, herunder på jernbaneområdet (EF-direktiv 91/440/EØF). Endelig spillede Mastricht-aftalens krav om den offentlige gældssætning også en vis rolle i 1990’erne, idet selskaber kan finan- siere investeringer gennem egen låneoptagelse i stedet for via finansloven. Selskabsdannelserne er i en række tilfælde blevet mødt med skepsis. Der er peget på at sel- skabsdannelser medfører større lukkethed og mindre mulighed for indsigt og kontrol for Fol- keting og offentlighed, og at varetagelsen af samfundshensyn og tværgående koordinering svækkes i forhold til selskabernes varetagelse af deres egne mål. Transportrådet offentlig- gjorte i foråret 2002 en rapport (Rapport nr. 02-01), som diskuterer og belyser effekterne af ændrede organisationsformer på tre hovedspørgsmål: nemlig konsekvenser for effektivitet i opgavevaretagelsen, koordinering og sikring af samfundshensyn og indsigt/parlamentarisk kontrol. Disse spørgsmål er i rapporten belyst ud fra erfaringerne fra tre danske eksempler (Øresundsforbindelsen, DSB og Nørreportsagen) og ud fra erfaringer fra Sverige, England og New Zealand. Rapportens konklusioner og sammenfatning er gengivet her.

Airway epithelial cell and macrophage regulation of pulmonary immunity
Creators: name: Branchett, William Joseph
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2017

description: Regulation of pulmonary immunity is reliant on the sentinel function of airway macrophages (AM) and conducting airway epithelial cells. The aim of this thesis was to examine regulatory mechanisms utilised by AM and airway epithelial cells, focussing on the cytokines IL-10 and transforming growth factor beta1 (TGF-beta1). AM phenotype was examined in multiple models of pulmonary inflammation, establishing CD11b and MHC-II as robust AM activation markers. Transcriptomic analysis showed AM to increase expression of genes related to leukocyte recruitment, tissue repair, antigen presentation and metabolism by oxidative phosphorylation during allergic airway disease (AAD) driven by house dust mite (HDM) inhalation. However, AM also expressed genes encoding regulatory proteins such as TGF-beta1 and the retinoic acid-generating enzyme RALDH2 during AAD, suggesting that they retain immunoregulatory capacity even during established inflammation. AM were shown to produce minimal IL-10 in response to pro-inflammatory stimuli and AM-derived IL-10 was redundant for regulation of immune responses to inhaled allergen or respiratory syncytial virus infection. Conversely, T cell-specific IL-10 deletion enhanced the severity of HDMdriven AAD, accompanied by pulmonary heightened type 1 immunity and dysregulated AM activation, indicating that T cells are the dominant IL-10 producing cells in the allergic lung and may regulate AM activation via IL-10. Conditional knockout of TGF-beta1 in AM enhanced the type 2 immune response to HDM inhalation and increased production of the chemokine CCL2 by AM, suggesting a potential autocrine regulatory function of AM-derived TGF-beta1. Additionally, conducting airway epithelial club cells were shown to rapidly release TGF-beta1 into the airway lumen upon influenza infection. Conditional deletion of this TGF-beta1 source enhanced early interferon beta production to limit viral replication, suggesting that club cell-derived TGF-beta1 acts as a pro-viral factor during influenza infection. Collectively, these findings illustrate mechanisms by which immunoregulatory cytokines operate in context-specific niches during pulmonary inflammatory responses.

description: I årene 1992-1994 blev der i Århus Kommune foretaget en skolevejsanalyse. Der blev foretaget dataindsamling og spørgeskemaundersøgelse på 65 skoler. Ca. 21000 elever fra børnehaveklasse til 7. klasse deltog i undersøgelsen. Hovedformålet med analysearbejdet har været at få udarbejdet et materiale, som ville kunne danne basis for en prioritering af trafiksikkerhedsarbejdet på vejnettet omkring skolerne, herunder også at få kortlagt trafikmønstrene ud for de forskellige skoler. Sideløbende med analysearbejdet blev der etableret forsøgsanlæg udfor 4 forskellige skoler. Formålet med disse forsøg var at vurdere, om det inden for rimelige økonomiske rammer var muligt af skabe anlæg, som kunne give en bedre trafiksikkerhed og større tryghed for eleverne. I dette paper beskrives metoden for skolevejsanalysen og de væsentligste resultater. Desuden redegøres der for effekterne af de 4 forsøg.

Traffic separation, safety and ethics.
Creators: name: Zeitler, Ulli
Publisher: name: Proceedings from the Annual Transport Conference at Aalborg University
Year: 1996

description: For more than 25 years intensive efforts have been made to improve traffic safety. Yet, in defiance of extensive research it is not easy to discern the primary causes of these achievements. In fact, we have to consider several important factors, like traffic separation, traffic education programmes, technical improvements of car technology and traffic regulations. However, while each of these factors, separately and in combination, certainly have some positive effect within a relatively short time lapse, they tend, in the long run, to counteract our safety intentions. Furthermore, if we leave our current, most dominant interpretation of traffic safety in favour of a more appropriate, extended notion of traffic safety, even short-term improvements are highly questionable - or so I shall argue. Anyway, we have to deal with the fact that our fight against traffic fatalities and injuries has come to a dead end. It seems to be extremely difficult and costly to reduce our present traffic accident rate significantly. The falling accident rate pr. road-user has obviously levelled out. In what follows I want to propose a more appropriate notion of traffic safety which takes into account the ethical substance. Thereafter, the role of ethics in traffic safety discussions will be shortly illustrated. On this basis, the significance of traffic separation arrangements will be discussed and I shall argue that traffic separation will not promote but rather tend to prevent long-term improvements in traffic safety.

Trafikkulturell kompetens: en studie av åsikter om trafiken i Göteborg
Creators: name: Jonasson, Mikael
Publisher: name: Proceedings from the Annual Transport Conference at Aalborg University
Year: 1996

description: Values, attitudes and behaviour have an impact on traffic safety. These values, attitudes and behaviour are often related to human interaction at a specific place, for instance a city. Together these values, attitudes and behaviours creates cultures in different rooms of traffic - different traffic cultures. In order to understand and change values and behaviour in traffic it is neccesary to know what a traffic culture is. The aim of this study is to see how the identity of traffic users, opinions and attitudes towards one another reflect their practical knowledge of the traffic culture, that is their cultural competence in traffic. The place is the relevant basis for studying a traffic culture. The purpose is therefore also to map specific places that people has found difficult. Questions answered were: how did people identify themselves? What did they want, what was wrong, who were to blame for the troubles in traffic, what should be done, and at which places did these difficulties occure? What relevance has traffic culture to effectiveness and safety in traffic? The result from this study show that traffic culture, and in turn, traffic safety is influenced by roles played by different groups in traffic. People who are cultural competent and who spend more time in the traffic room are able to manoeuvre themselves effectively in traffic and they have an important role in creating and reproducing behaviour that, in the end, constitutes a traffic culture.

description: De nordiske regioner står overfor en række udfordringer på transportområdet. Store infrastruk-turinvesteringer og bortfald af det toldfrie salg i EU betyder ændrede vilkår for transportkorri-dorerne og dermed også for regionerne. Samtidig er der forandringer på vej på havneområdet - og miljøforhold spiller en større og større rolle. Spørgsmålet er, hvordan de regionale myndigheder bedst forstår at møde de nye udfordringer. For at regionerne kan være rustet til denne opgave, er der brug for viden og samarbejde med erhvervslivet, med forskningen og regionerne imellem. Det er baggrunden for at, 17 regioner fra Sverige, Norge og Danmark har etableret det regionale transportpolitiske samarbejde Nordic Transportpolitical Network (NTN). NTN gennemføres over 3 år indenfor rammerne af INTERREG IIC-programmet for Nordsø-en. Netværket omfatter både en politisk og en forskningsmæssig dimension. Formålet er at skabe et transportpolitisk netværk, som kan markere regionernes behov overfor EU og nationalstaterne, og som kan medvirke til at koordinere de planmæssige tiltag regionerne imellem. Til at levere ny viden til den regionale planlægningsindsats på transportområdet er der etableret et transportforskningsnetværk. Forskningen skal levere input til den politiske diskussion og skabe forbindelse mellem erhvervsliv og forskning, så forskningen er til nytte både i erhvervslivet og det politiske liv.

COMPETITION IN BRITISH RAILWAYS – WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED?
Creators: name: Preston, JOhn
Publisher: name: Proceedings from the Annual Transport Conference at Aalborg University
Year: 1999

description: In this paper I will try and draw some lessons for other countries from the experiences of railway reforms in Great Britain. In so doing, I will try and update the story in Changing Trains (Van de Velde, 1999, with a chapter on Great Britain by Root and Preston). I should start off with three important caveats. First, countries are different. In the project that led to the book Changing Trains, we tried to look at countries (or parts of countries) which were similar to The Netherlands. We concluded that there were no countries in the world similar to The Netherlands. We could equally have concluded that there are no countries similar to Great Britain. We could draw the same conclusion for Denmark. Secondly, what I am going to present is a personal, subjective view - some of which is backed up by empirical evidence, but some of which isn’t. What I want to do then is draw, somewhat randomly, 20 lessons from the British experience. I have been asked by the conference organisers to particularly try and present information on the degree of passenger satisfaction, the extent of ticket system co-ordination and the levels of investment. Thirdly, much of what I wish to say I have already said at the International Conference on Regulatory Reforms in the Railway Sector in Stockholm in July 1999. Apologies if you have heard this before.

Socially Necessary Rail Services
Creators: name: Cole, Stuart
name: Holvad, Torben
Publisher: name: Proceedings from the Annual Transport Conference at Aalborg University
Year: 1999

description: Rail services across Europe are facing problems due to declining market share, lack of responsiveness to market changes and customers’ needs. Policy initiatives are put forward to change this situation and provide viable solutions, e.g. as presented in the EC White Paper from 1996 on Revitalising the Community’s Railways. Many rail services are loss-making and will continue to be so such that these services can only be provided through financial support from the State. Given that resources are scarce it is important that this support is allocated according to the social value from these services. This paper will present the EC funded SONERAIL project, which has concerned an examination of socially necessary rail services. In particular, it has developed an evaluation methodology which allows for the assessment of the costs and benefits associated with providing a given rail service. The paper is planned as follows. Section 1 will give an overview of the SONERAIL project in terms of background, objectives and project structure. In section 2 the SONERAIL definition of a socially necessary rail service will be described. The evaluation methodology developed during the project will be examined in section 3. Subsequently, section 4 will discuss the potential for applying the methodology in practice. Section 5 considers possible future scenarios while best-practice recommendations regarding the provision and evaluation of socially necessary rail services are given in section 6.

description: På baggrund af statens målsætninger om at nedsætte emissioner og energiforbrug i trafikken har Trafikministeriet ydet støtte til et projekt "Benchmarking af bybustrafik i udvalgte danske pro- vinsbyer". Færdselsstyrelsen er ansvarlig for gennemførelsen af projektet, der er gennemført med COWI som konsulent og i samarbejde med trafikselskaber, kommuner og entreprenører, der har stået for tilvejebringelse af data for medvirkende bybusbyer i hele landet. Formålet med projektet er at identificere muligheder for at begrænse trafikkens CO2-emissioner. Begrænsning af emissionerne forventes opnået ad to veje, dels ved at der bruges mindre brændstof pr. transporteret passager, dels ved at der bruges mindre brændstof pr. kørt kilometer. De to veje kan belyses ved at: - identificere et potentiale for opnåelse af en højere benyttelsesgrad af den kollektive trafik i bybusserne. Hvis der kommer flere passagerer i den eksisterende kollektive trafik, bliver energiforbruget pr. passager mindre - identificere et potentiale for en reduktion af CO2-emissioner gennem en reduktion af brænd- stofforbruget i bybusser. Herudover er det målsætningen at tilvejebringe og sammenstille nøgletal for driften i de deltagen- de byer som optakten til en benchmarkingproces, der ikke mindst på sigt og mere bredt betragtet kan komme til at udgøre et effektiviseringsværktøj i den løbende administration af busdriften.

En proposant ces moments d’échanges à l’ensemble de la communauté de l'EHESS, la présidence souhaite renouer avec une tradition propre à l'établissement et renforcer l'École comme collectif où se construisent les savoirs dans la controverse et la remise en cause permanente des routines scientifiques et des frontières disciplinaires.
Ny kollektiv trafikplan i Aalborg
Creators: name: Jensen, Niels Melchior

Year: 2002

description: Den kollektive trafik i Aalborg afvikles efter principper, der har været gældende siden 1989, hvor den seneste kollektive trafikplan blev vedtaget af byrådet. Denne plan var i høj grad baseret på, at den kollektive trafik skal konkurrere med andre trafikformer overalt og på alle tidspunkter. Den generelle trafikudvikling i de senere år har medført, at der nu må sættes spørgsmålstegn ved, om det fortsat er rimeligt. Velstandsudviklingen har medført, at folk vil have bil, hvis de har mu- lighed for det. Biltrafikken vokser år for år - og det ser ud til at fortsætte. Mange busafgange af- vikles med ingen eller ganske få passagerer. Derfor foreslås i den nye plan en omlægning af den overordnede strategi, der indebærer omlæg- ning af ressourcer fra de trafiksvage tidspunkter og områder til tidspunkter og dele af byen, hvor der er mange potentielle passagerer. Den kollektive trafik bliver mere markedsorienteret. Der skal naturligvis fortsat være mulighed for transport af dem, der ikke har adgang til bil, men det skal ske efter andre principper. Den direkte anledning til, at en ny kollektiv trafikplan udarbejdes netop nu er, at en ny fælles ter- minal for bybusser og regionale busser tages i brug ved Aalborg Banegård, og at byrådet i den forbindelse har besluttet, at bybussernes fælles omstigningssted - der hvor der er korrespondance mellem bybuslinierne - skal flyttes hertil fra Nytorv /Østerågade i byens centrum. Samtidig åbner den nye nærbane mellem Skørping og Lindholm, hvor det er væsentligt, at der etableres gode bus- forbindelser til nærbanestationerne, så der kan skabes optimale omstigningsmuligheder. Planen kan gennemføres uden udvidelse af de driftsmæssige ressourcer, der er i den kollektive trafiksektor i Aalborg Kommune og hos Nordjyllands Trafikselskab. Den indeholder samtidig en robusthed, der indebærer, at den - inden for visse grænser - kan tilpasse sig ændrede vilkår med hensyn til efterspørgsel efter kollektiv trafik samt ændrede økonomiske vilkår.

GIS-baseret, objekt-orienteret modellering af kollektive transportterminaler
Creators: name: Hansen, Jesper K. F.
name: Nielsen, Otto Anker
Publisher: name: Proceedings from the Annual Transport Conference at Aalborg University
Year: 2002

description: Baggrunden for artiklen er konstruktionen af en udvidelse til Transport Object Platform (TOP), der er en GIS-baseret objektorienteret Platform til at beskrive rutebaseret trafik (Grevy. m.fl., 2001). Konstruktionen af udvidelsen – herefter benævnt terminalmodellen – har som hovedformål at beskrive passagerers rutevalg internt i transportterminaler. Arbejdet blev startet i K. F. Hansen (2002), og er fortsat siden i forbindelse med et forskningsprojekt ved Centre for Trafik og Transport (CTT), DTU. Endvidere har arbejdet haft to væsentlige delmål. Dels at sikre at konceptet for terminalmodellen er tilpasset den overordnede terminologi, der ligger til grund for TOP. Og dels at sikre at konstruktionen af terminalmodellen kan sammenkædes med eksisterende terminalbeskrivelser på andre aggregeringsniveauer ved hjælp af converters til at oversætte data mellem disse. Fordelen ved en objektorienteret datamodel er bl.a. muligheden for fleksibelt at arbejde på forskellige aggregeringsniveauer. I forbindelse med trafikmodeller, f.eks. fjernoplande, centrale regioner, samt detailmodellering af bestemte terminaler. Det kan være inden for samme model, f.eks. modellering af passagertunnellen på Nørreport Station eller de forskellige forslag til udvidelse af Københavns Hovedbanegård, hvor passagerudvekslingen sker mellem såvel bus og S-tog (Københavnsområdet), som regional og fjerntog (Fjernoplande), men hvor den detaljerede udformning af terminalen også er interessant. Men det kan også være i forbindelse med interaktion mellem modeller. F.eks. hvor en model for København interagerer med en model for Øresundsregionen, der måske igen interagerer med en model for Skandinavien. Et sådan hierarki er relevant for persontrafik, men måske i særlig grad for godstransport, hvor andelen af lange ture er større. I forbindelse med arbejdet terminalmodellen har taget udgangspunkt i persontrafik, men kan lige såvel dække liniebåret godstransport, såsom tog, skibsfart og rutebåret lastbiltrafik. Et arbejde med udvikling af en sådan model pågår i forbindelse med Center for forskning i logistik og godstransport (CLG), der ledes af CTT.

description: With the promulgation of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS or standard) for 8-hr ozone (O3), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued modeling guidance that advocated the use of results from photochemical air quality models in a relative sense. In doing so, the EPA provided guidance on how to calculate relative response factors (RRFs) that can project current design value (DV) mixing ratios into the future for the purpose of determining the attainment status with respect to the O3 standard. The RRFs recommended by the EPA represent the average response of the photochemical model over a broad range of O3 mixing ratios above a specified cutoff threshold. However, it is known that O3 response to emission reductions of limiting precursors (i.e., NOx and/or VOC) is greater on days with higher O3 mixing ratios compared to days with lower mixing ratios. In this study, we present a segmented RRF concept termed band-RRF, which takes into account the different model responses at different O3 mixing ratios. The new band-RRF concept is demonstrated in the San Joaquin Valley (SJV) region of California for the 1-hr and 8-hr O3 standards. The 1-hr O3 analysis is relevant to work done in support of the SJV O3 State Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted to the EPA in 2013. The 8-hr example for the future year of 2019 is presented for illustrative purposes only. Further work will be conducted with attainment deadline of 2032 as part of upcoming SIPs for the 0.075 parts per million (ppm) 8-hr O3 standard. The applicability of the band-RRF concept to the particulate matter (PM2.5) standards is also discussed. Implications:Results of photochemical models are used in regulatory applications in a relative sense using relative response factors (RRFs), which represent the impacts of emissions reductions over a wide range of ozone (O3) values. It is possible to extend the concept of RRFs to account for the fact that higher O3 mixing ratios (both 1-hr and 8-hr) respond more to emissions controls of limiting precursors than do lower O3 mixing ratios. We demonstrate this extended concept, termed band-RRF, for the 1-hr and 8-hr O3 National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS or standard) in the San Joaquin Valley of California. This extension can also be made applicable to the 24-hr PM2.5 and annual PM2.5 standards.

description: Undersøgelsen omhandler uheldsrisikoen i kryds beliggende på strækninger med forskellige hastighedsgrænser. Kun 4-benede signalregulerede kryds er medtaget. Alle krydsene (ca. 500 stk) er opdelt i 7 grupper, afhængig af om krydset er beliggende i by- eller landområde, og af den tilladte hastighed i krydsets hovedretning. Derefter er uheldsrisikoen beregnet for hver af disse 7 krydsgrupper. Uheldsrisikoen er beregnet både som uheldsfrekvenser og vha. regressionanalyser. Resultaterne viser, at risikoen er stigende for større tilladt hastighed. Især er antallet af dræbte og tilskadekomne stigende. 80 km/t kryds er signifikant mere uheldsbelastede end andre kryds.

Year: 1996

description: Målet med undersøgelsen har været at belyse den sikkehedsmæssige effekt af at anlægge cykelfelter i signalregulerede kryds og undersøge risikoen for eneuheld i forbindelse med udskridning på cykelfelter i kryds. I før/efter-uheldsundersøgelsen indgår 47 kryds, hvor der er anlagt 4 typer af cykelfelter. I alt indgår 248 politiregistrerede uheld i før/efter-uheldsundersøgelsen. Resultaterne viser, at anlæg af cykelfelter medfører en væsentlig forbedring af cyklisternes sikkerhed. Antallet af cykeluheld, der er sket i krydset med mindst én cyklist, der med sit kørselsmønster kunne benytte et cykelfelt i efterperioden, er faldet signifikant med ca. 36%, mens antallet af alvorlige skader er faldet signifikant med ca. 57%. Samlet er der for alle uheld opnået en reduktion på ca. 28% i antallet af personskader. Risikoen for eneuheld i forbindelse med udskridning på cykelfelter i kryds er belyst ved at gennemlæse 738 uheldstekster. Anlæg af cykelfelter øger tilsyneladende ikke antallet af eneuheld, hvor motorcykler, knallerter og cykler vælter som følge af udskridning på cykelfeltet.
