Feasibility study of a surface vehicle utilizing a unitary control system

Creator:: Bassett, David Arthur
Abstract:: A feasibility and practicality study was made of an automotive-type surface vehicle that employed a centralized or unitized means of control. The control functions consisted of: steering, acceleration, deceleration, clutch actuation, gear changes, turn signal operation and horn actuation. These controls were arranged in such a manner that the driver...

Influence of Bicyclist Presence on Driver Performance during Autonomous Vehilce Take-Over Requests

Creator:: Fleskes, Kayla
Abstract:: Autonomous vehicles (AVs) may have the potential to mitigate a significant proportion of serious crashes which are due to human error or poor decision making behind the wheel. However, there are still many concerns associated with SAE Level 3 AVs that require intervention by a human driver after a take-over...

Lead exposures in radiator shops in a nine-county area of northwestern Oregon

Creator:: Burnham, John William
Abstract:: The primary objective of this study was to assess radiator repair shops' compliance with Oregon OSHA Lead and Hazard Communication regulations. Fifty radiator repair shops were randomly selected from nine counties that comprise the highest population density in Oregon. All 50 worksites were visited; of these 50 worksites, 22 were...

Incorporating statistical uncertainty into nuclear material diversion pathway analysis using probabilistic risk assessment

Creator:: Pharn, Benjamin T.
Abstract:: A Level 1 probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) is applied to a plutonium button-making process, but in regards to the risk of diversion (or theft) of special nuclear material (SNM) rather than the risk of mechanical failure. The main objective of the project was to identify the relative vulnerability of areas...

The evaluation and selection of highway safety improvements for local jurisdictions

Creator:: Haq, Asif Jinnah
Abstract:: Many hazardous locations exist on our local and street highway systems. Such hazards contribute to the frequency and severity of traffic accidents. The elimination and mitigation of the hazards reduces accident frequency and severity, as measured by the number of fatalities, injuries and property damage resulting from the accidents. The...

Radiation safety practices in interventional radiology : the importance of oversight

Creator:: Lally, Mary T.
Abstract:: It is widely recognized that the risks associated to both patients and medical personnel during therapeutic interventional procedures are greater than for other diagnostic studies due to the increased number, and complexity of the examinations resulting in increased radiation exposure. This report documents the practices of seven interventional radiologists at...

Evaluation of the FDA derived intervention levels and exposure rate of 0.4 µR/hrusing NARAC Web Atmosphere and Diffusion Modeling System

Creator:: Hay, Tristan Ryan
Abstract:: The Oregon Department of Energy has set up recommendations for agricultural crop and non-crop embargo zones following an accidental or purposeful radioactive release. Of special interest are the FDA’s Derived Intervention Levels (DIL) and the state’s exposure limit of 0.4µR/hr. At the Oregon State University Emergency Response Research and Support...

Unobserved Heterogeneity and Spatial Correlation: Statistical and Econometric Analyses of Heavy-Vehicle Hard Braking and Crash Frequency by Crash Type

Creator:: Anderson, Jason C.
Abstract:: This dissertation provides a comparison of statistical and econometric frameworks, using a previously unused freight data source, to study crash frequency by crash type and heavy-vehicle hard braking in Oregon. Hard braking can serve as a proxy for several factors, one of which is safety. Therefore, with the hard braking...

A Review of Current State Department of Transportation Practice for Promoting and Documenting the Safety of Field Employees

Creator:: Barlow, Zachary Wesley
Abstract:: State Departments of Transportation (DOTs) are the primary owners of roadway infrastructure in the United States. Many of the employees of state DOTs work on roadway work sites, putting them at disproportionately higher risks of injury or fatality. A review of the literature determined that a combination of policies, standards,...
