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...

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...

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,...

Design for safety : a case study at a university examining congruency and integration

Creator:: Sumner, Rita Finn.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to develop a conceptual framework to enhance the redesign of a safety system. To identify the limitations of the current safety system, the concepts of congruency and integration of the safety function within a specific university environment were examined through a case study methodology....

Simulated antineutrino signatures of nuclear reactors for nonproliferation applications

Creator:: Misner, Alex C.
Abstract:: Antineutrino detectors could provide a valuable addition to current safeguards regimes. Antineutrinos are an attractive emission to monitor due to their low interaction cross-section that prevents them from being shielded and the dependence of their spectrum on the power level and isotopic content of a reactor core. While there are...

Improving Safety of the Platform-Train-Interface Through Operational and Technical Mitigation Strategies

Creator:: Anderson, Dylan
Abstract:: The purpose of this study is to provide background information and examples of best practices relating to platform-train-interface (PTI) safety. The research and information obtained for this manuscript has been in association with the A-40 project funded by the Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP) of the National Academies. The purpose...
