Validation of human pedestrian models using laboratory data as well as accident reconstruction
(2007)
Human pedestrian models have been developed and improved continually. This paper shows the latest stage in development and validation of the multibody pedestrian model released with MADYMO. The biofidelity of the multibody pedestrian model has been verified using a range of full pedestrian-vehicle impact tests with a large range in body sizes (16 male, 2 female, standing height 160-192cm, weight 53.5-90kg). The simulation results were objectively correlated to experimental data. Overall, the model predicted the measured response well. In particular the head impact locations were accurately predicted, indicated by global correlation scores over 90%. The correlation score for the bumper forces and accelerations of various body parts was lower (47-64%), which was largely attributed to the limited information available on the vehicle contact characteristics (stiffness, damping, deformation). Also, the effects of the large range in published leg fracture tolerances on the predicted risk to leg fracture by the pedestrian model were evaluated and compared with experimental results. The validated mid-size male model was scaled to a range of body sizes, including children and a female. Typical applications for the pedestrian models are trend studies to evaluate vehicle front ends and accident reconstructions. Results obtained in several studies show that the pedestrian models match pedestrian throw distances and impact locations observed in real accidents. Larger sets of well documented cases can be used to further validate the models especially for specific populations as for instance children. In addition, these cases will be needed to evaluate the injury predictive capability of human models. Ongoing developments include a so-called facet pedestrian model with a more accurate geometry description and a more humanlike spine and neck and a full FE model allowing more detailed injury analysis.
This paper set out to examine the possibilities for injury avoidance implications for older drivers in crashes, based on crash and injury patterns among older drivers and current trends in ageing in most western societies. A number of safety technologies were identified and discussed which have potential for improving vehicle older driver crash avoidance and crashworthiness. While there were some promising estimates available of the likely benefits of this technology for improving safety, it is evident that they need to be confirmed for older drivers, given their age-related disabilities and sensory limitations. Further research is urgently required to ensure that these technologies yield safety benefits without any disbenefits for older drivers.rn
Nigeria ranks one of the highest countries in the world with the largest accident, especially when measured by whiplash associated disorders, whereas, traffic safety education rate, data and information been widely known as preventive indicators have been grossly neglected. In Nigeria, traffic safety enlightenment, awareness, political understanding and appreciation of the problem's magnitude are lacking. This study, therefore, seeks to understand and document the fact that accident causation factors in Nigeria relate more to the problem of development, poverty, knowledge and education as evidenced in most other developing countries. Among the primary accident causation factors on Nigerian roads are: - lack of a transportation system or multi-model integration - sub-standard and obsolete vehicles and road furniture - poor road maintenance, investment and engineering management - paucity of road users' and drivers' knowledge, skill, enlightenment and education of the road Use This paper submits that Nigeria being a developing nation requires purely primitive strategies being cost effective (health wise) than curative measures. It is in this light that an enduring, comprehensive and sustainable traffic safety educational programmes information base and data inventory, analysis and implementations form the focus of this study. This effort will provide basic guidelines framework and implementation procedure for a successful prevention of whiplash associated disorder resulting from road traffic crashes in Nigeria and other parts of the world.
This contribution introduces a number of psychological methods of analysis that are based on the practice-oriented collection of information directly at the site of an accident and that allow for an analysis and coding of the accident causes. Investigation examples and examples of the data combinations with basic medical and technical data are outlined. Objective of the collection is the inter-disciplinary investigation of human factors in the causes of accidents ("human-factor-analysis"). The psychological data are incorporated according to an integrative model for accident causes based on empiric algorithms in the data base of the accident research, where the clustered evaluation potential of comprehensive factors of the accident development can be illustrated. The central theoretical concept for the basic model of the progress of the accident from a psychological point of view comprises psychological indicators for the evaluation of the site of the accident for the analysis of the perception conditions as well as a classification of the gleaned data into the accident progress model according to chronological and local criteria. Perception conditions, action intentions and executions as well as conditions limiting perception and actions are acquired, using a questionnaire for persons involved in an accident, and are also integrated into the data structure concerning weighted feature characteristics as well as combined with other relevant features. Suitable systematization tools for the collection and coding of psychological accident development parameters have to be provided, which require primarily a model image of the corresponding processes from the persons involved in the accident (perceptions, expectations, decisions, actions). The interactive accident model contains components of the models by KÜTING 1990, MC DONALD 1972, SURREY 1969 and RASMUSSEN 1980. Based on the inter-action of the three partial systems "person", "vehicle" and "environment", the first step is the assessment of the situation by the persons involved in the accident. This is dependent on the personal attitudes and motives, on experiences and expectations concerning the progress of the situation. Subsequently, data concerning the manner of the coping with the ambiguous state as well as with the instable state (emergency reaction immediately before the accident occurs) are collected. The factors relating to the persons involved in the accident are gathered on several levels using corresponding questionnaires. The coding of the found and collected characteristics is conducted in a multidimensional evaluation relating to the technical results of the accident reconstruction and of the psychological classification, which are subsequently integrated in coded form into the data base of the accident research. The result of this analysis is a description of the development of the accident depicted on a chronological vector from a perception and decision theoretical perspective. This is explained in detail using exemplary cases.
The average CO2 concentrations relevant to a motorcyclist wearing an integral helmet were measured twenty years ago and found to be alarmingly high. The present study examined gas concentrations typically inhaled by a motorcyclist. Average concentrations of CO2 for persons (n=4) wearing integral motorcycle helmets were measured in the laboratory and the field to facilitate comparison to previous work, and similarly high average concentrations were found: above 2% when stationary, well below 1% for speeds of 50km/h or more. Detailed measurements of the time-dependent CO2 concentrations during normal inhalation showed levels of about half of the corresponding average concentrations, including 1% at standstill, though higher concentrations (4% or more) are inhaled at the beginning of each breath. Opening the visor at standstill lowered the average inhaled concentration only to about 0.8%. The oxygen deficiency is equal to the CO2 concentration, and could also contribute negatively to motorcyclist cognitive abilities.
Interaction of road environment, vehicle and human factors in the causation of pedestrian accidents
(2005)
The UK On-the-Spot project (OTS) completed over 1500 in-depth investigations of road accidents during 2000-2003 and is continuing for a further 3 years. Cases were sampled from two regions of England using rotating shifts to cover all days of the week and all hours of the day and night. Research teams were dispatched to accidents notified to police during the shifts; arrival time to the scene of the accident was generally less than 20 minutes. The methodology of OTS includes sophisticated systems for describing accident causation and the interaction of road, vehicle and human factors. The purpose of this paper is to describe and illustrate these systems by reference to pedestrian accidents. This type of analysis is intended to provide an insight into how and why pedestrian accidents occur in order to assist the development of effective road, vehicle and behavioural countermeasures.
76 severe traffic accidents had been investigated in depth in an ongoing Volkswagen-Tongji University joint accident research project in JiaDing district, Shanghai, PR China since June 2005. With a methodology similar to German accident research units in Dresden and Hannover, a research team proceeds to the scene immediately after the incident to investigate and collect various data on environment, accident occurrence, vehicle state and deformations as well as injuries. The data combined with the results of accident reconstruction will be stored in a database for further statistical and casuistic analysis. The first outcome of the project supports the hypothesis that a main causation for the large number of traffic accidents in China is the lacking of risk awareness in Chinese driver behaviour. Low seat-belt use and the high proportion of vulnerable and poorly protected two-wheelers in traffic are reasons for the high injury and fatality rate in China. The research work shows that accident research in China is feasible and able to give support to tackle one of the urging problems in Chinese development.
The "Seven Steps Method" is an analysis and classification system, which describes the human participation factors and their causes in the temporal sequence (from the perceptibility to concrete action errors) taking into consideration the logical sequence of individual basic functions. By means of the "seven steps" it is possible to describe the relevant human causes of accidents from persons involved in the accident in an economic way with a sufficient degree of exactitude, because the causes can be further differentiated in their value (e.g. diversion as external diversion with regard to impact due to surroundings) and their sub values (e.g. external diversion with regard to impact due to surroundings in the shape of a "capture" of the perception by a prominent object of the traffic environment). Theoretically it is possible that one or more causing moments can be assigned to a person involved in an accident in each of the "seven steps"; however it is also possible to sufficiently clarify the cause in only one level (examples for this are described). In the practice of accident investigation at the site of the accident, the sequence chart is also relevant. With its assistance the questioning of the people involved in an accident can be accomplished in a structured way by assigning a set of questions to each step.
Since the compulsory use of child restraints for children up to 5 years of age was introduced in 2000, restraint use among younger children has increased significantly. However, the observed rate of child restraint use plateaus at around 50%, and apparently little spillover effect has been found for older children who are not covered by the law. This report examines the restraint use patterns for children who were injured in cars in relation to driver and child passenger characteristics. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to describe the association between the outcome measure (the proper use of restraints for children) and relevant variables. Better ways for parents and caregivers to improve the use of restraints for children are also discussed.
The increase in light duty trucks (LDT) on the road in the US is a safety concern because of their aggressivity, or risk they present to occupants of cars, especially in side impacts. We use FARS data to look at fatality trends in frontal and side impacts between cars and LDT. FARS data is also used to determine risk, or fatalities per registered vehicle, imposed on car drivers from other vehicle types. We use NASS CDS data to investigate sources of serious injuries in vehicles with side impact. These sources of injury are categorized into three major groups: 1) contact without intrusion, 2) contact with intrusion, and 3) restraints. We find a greater fraction of intrusion related injuries in cars struck on their side by SUV or pick-up trucks than when they are struck by other cars.
In Finland all fatal motor vehicle accidents are studied in-depth on-the-spot by multidisciplinary (police, road and vehicle engineers, physician and behavioural scientist) road accident investigation teams (legislation 2001, work started 1968), which operate in every province. The purpose of the teams is to uncover risk factors that turned an ordinary driving situation into a serious accident and give safety recommendations for improving road safety. The investigation teams do not take a stand on guilt or insurance compensation. When analysing accidents the teams use the concepts of key event, immediate, background and injury risk factors. Compiled investigation folders of each case contain investigation forms from each member, preinvestigation protocol, photographs, sketches etc. About 500 items of information are collected from each accident party. The collected information is also coded into a computer database. Both the database and the investigation folders are widely utilized by researchers and authorities conducting safety work.
This study aimed to identify the occurrence, type and mechanisms of the traumatic injuries of the vulnerable road users in vehicle collisions, and to determine the effects of human, engineering, and environment factors on traffic accidents and injuries. The pedestrian accident cases were collected in the years 2000 to 2005 from Changsha Wujing hospital China and Accident Research Unit at Medical University Hannover in Germany. A statistic analysis was carried out using the collected accident data. The results from analysis of Changsha data were compared with results from analysis of GIDAS data Hannover. The injury severities were determined using AIS code and ISS values. The results were presented in terms of cause of injuries, injury distributions, injury patterns, injury severity. The factors influenced the injury outcomes were proposed and discussed for the vehicle transport environment and road users. The results were discussed with regard to accident data collection, accident sampling and injury distributions etc. In the urban area of Changsha, motorcycles and passenger cars are most frequently involved in vehicle pedestrian accidents. Head and lower extremities injuries are the predominant types of pedestrian injuries. The pedestrian accidents were identified as vital issue in urban traffic safety and therefore a high priority should be given to this road user group in research of safe urban transportation. In Hannover area, cars are most frequently involved in traffic accidents, injured pedestrians are involved in road traffic of Germany in 13% of all causalities only in 2005 and have nearly the same number as motorcyclists, but the half of bicyclists.
The primary goal of this investigation was to determine the relative risk of traffic accidents in students. In a two year period, a survey amongst 2,325 students was carried out, and 3,645 injuries sustained by students treated at our hospital were analyzed. Moped-riding in adolescents were associated with a 23.75-fold increased risk for injury as compared to biking. Children who ride bicycles have a 2.2-fold increased risk for an injury sustained by traffic accidents compared to pedestrians. None of 50 injured bicycle riders with helmet had an AIS for head injuries of more than 2. 24 of 233 injured bicycle drivers without helmet had an AIS for head injuries of more than 2. The use of a protective helmet significantly reduced the severity of head injuries. The level of awareness towards danger and a history of previous accidents correlate with the likelihood of future accidents. Due to the severity of traffic accidents, more adequate prevention measures (wearing of bicycle helmets and better education for moped riders) are urgently needed.
Abstract: The number of accidents that can be attributed to driving under the influence of psychoactive substances (alcohol, drugs, and certain medicines) is constantly on a high level with drugs and medicines proportionally increasing over the years. The overall objective of the EU 6th Framework Programme project DRUID is to gain better knowledge of the various aspects of driving under the influence of drugs, alcohol and medicines. DRUID wants to offer scientific support to EU transport policy makers by suggesting guidelines and measures to combat impaired driving. To reach this ambitious aim a wide range of studies is conducted. The various studies are divided into seven work packages with complex interdependencies. There are experimental studies assessing the effects of single and combined psychoactive substances on driving performance (WP1) as well as epidemiological studies aiming to assess the situation in Europe regarding prevalence of alcohol and other psychoactive substances in drivers (WP2).The principal objective of these studies is to gain relative risk estimates for traffic accident involvement of drivers impaired by psychoactive substances and to recommend substance concentration thresholds. A theoretical framework which allows the integration of the experimental and epidemiological findings serves as a fundament for developing these recommendations. WP3 aims at improving the possibilities of detecting drug driving in Europe. Police forces evaluate practically (under realistic enforcement conditions) oral fluid screening devices. A scientific evaluation of oral fluid screening devices and other methods (i.e. roadside checklists of signs of impairment) is done as well. The outcome of the practical and scientific evaluations serves as input to cost-benefit analyses of enforcement.
Ausgehend von den in der internationalen Maßnahmendiskussion zur Fahranfängersicherheit genannten Anforderungen an erfolgversprechende Maßnahmenansätze und den zurückliegenden Maßnahmenerfahrungen in Deutschland werden in einem ersten Schritt die zur Erprobung eingeführten Modelle "Begleitetes Fahren ab 17" und "Freiwillige Fortbildungsseminare für Fahranfänger" (Zweite Fahrausbildungsphase) darauf betrachtet, ob sie sich als neue und weiterführende Lösungsansätze empfehlen. In einem zweiten Schritt wird die Betrachtung auf weitere Maßnahmenbereiche ausgedehnt. Dabei werden Entwicklungsperspektiven in der Fahrausbildung, der Fahrerlaubnisprüfung, der Fahrerlaubnis auf Probe, der Sicherheitskommunikation, der Verkehrserziehung sowie der Anwendung computergestützter interaktiver Multimedia-Lernprogramme in der Fahranfängervorbereitung skizziert. Die Ergebnisse münden in Handlungsempfehlungen für die künftige Ausgestaltung der unfallpräventiven Maßnahmensystems für Fahranfänger und junge Fahrer in Deutschland.
Entgegen populären Meinungen, welche älteren Kraftfahrern ein generelles Gefahrenpotenzial für die allgemeine Verkehrssicherheit zuschreiben, weisen die Unfallstatistiken eher auf eine besondere Gefährdung dieser Gruppe von Verkehrsteilnehmern hin, woraus sich Forderungen nach einer zielgruppenspezifischen Verkehrssicherheitsarbeit begründen. Maßnahmen zur Erhöhung der Verkehrssicherheit sollten sich nicht auf einzelne Ansatzpunkte beziehen, sondern integrativ die Verhaltenspotenziale auf Seiten des älteren Fahrers selbst und auch die Kontextfaktoren der Fahrsituation berücksichtigen. Zudem sollten Verkehrssicherheitsmaßnahmen für ältere Fahrer auf einen möglichst langen, aber auch sicheren Erhalt der Fahrkompetenz zielen und somit einen Beitrag zur individuellen Lebensqualität und gesellschaftlichen Teilhabe leisten. Neben einem stärkeren Einbezug älterer Menschen in die Planung verkehrssicherheitsrelevanter Maßnahmen und damit einer bedarfsgerechteren Gestaltung, sollte dabei auch verstärkt auf die Eigenverantwortung des älteren Fahrers referiert werden. Die Ergebnisse von Forschungsprojekten welche modellhaft Angebote zur freiwilligen Selbstprüfung der Fahrkompetenz unterbreiteten beziehungsweise die Meinung älterer Fahrer zu Angeboten dieser Art erfassten, weisen darauf hin, dass das Interesse innerhalb der Zielgruppe durchaus vorhanden ist. Es scheint angezeigt das Eigeninteresse älterer Kraftfahrer aufzugreifen und das Angebot personenzentrierter Ansätze zur Erhöhung der Verkehrssicherheit, wie beispielsweise freiwillige Überprüfungen der Fahrkompetenz und Schulungen zur Erhaltung der Fahrkompetenz, auszuweiten. Bei der Ausarbeitung verkehrsplanerischer Konzepte sollte zukünftig auch verstärkt den zu erwartenden demographischen Veränderungen der Verkehrsteilnehmer Rechnung getragen werden und durch eine weniger komplexe Gestaltung die Nutzungsbedingungen - nicht nur zugunsten älterer Fahrer - sondern im Sinne eines transgenerationalen Designs für alle Fahrer optimiert werden. Zudem sollte durch eine stärkere Berücksichtigung alternativer Mobilitätsformen zum Auto dazu beigetragen werden, dass wenn tatsächlich die Kompensationsspielräume ausgeschöpft sein sollten, für den älteren Menschen geeignete Mobilitätsalternativen verfügbar sind und der Verzicht auf die Automobilität nicht gleichbedeutend mit einer Aufgabe der Mobilität ist.
The significant demographic changes are predicted for the European future. The age group over 65 years is permanently increasing and over next 30 years every fourth person will belong to this group. This development will continue so far that by 2050 in many countries will double the percentage of the population aged 65 and more. Many studies analyze the new phenomena of the ageing (graying) society during the last decade. Mobility is integrated part of the life of every citizen, even more it means for the elderly people. The adequate mobility is the precondition for their active life and for their social communication that contribute to their health and functional capacity and their autonomy and independency. The active seniors demand less public support. The mobility of the older citizens is closely linked with health and societal problems and creates an important public challenge. On the other side the participation of seniors in transport due to their limited physical and mental possibilities means for them an increased risk to be injured or killed. The main mobility spaces are roads that can be used not only as a traveler in a vehicle (driver or passenger) but also as a pedestrian or cyclist or even as a motorcyclist. The road traffic is then an opportunity and danger in the same time. The accident analyzes show specific risk features of seniors that are different compared with other age groups. First of all the older road users (65 and more) are facing to the higher risk (number of killed divided by the population size) to be killed in a road accident compared with the group of younger road users (0 - 64). More significant difference can be observed when comparing the road user groups. The fatality percentage of the older pedestrians is 2,5 times higher compared with the group 25 " 64. Similar frequency show the cyclist fatalities. On the other side the vehicle passengers in the younger group have more or less two time higher percentage compared to seniors and in the group of motorcyclists even achieved in 2008 almost five times higher compared with the older group. The share of the old road users fatalities (around 19%) didn"t practically change during the last 10 years in the European average. But comparing the gender involvement (2006) there is an interesting difference " female fatalities make 30, 2%, male fatalities 15, 3% of all fatalities in their groups. The risk of the senior users is more connected with their physical and mental limits than with their risk behavior. According to the Czech statistics (2007) the vehicle drivers over 65 years cause only 3, 6% of all accidents. The solution of the problem is to minimize the risk and to create a safe environment for the elderly people using the roads. In order to achieve this goal a deep knowledge of risk and of accident circumstances, full understanding of the behavior of the seniors and their limitations and accommodating approach of the whole society is necessary. Road risk of the ageing society has to be considered as a part of the health and social policy. These can build a creditable basis for the implementation of the measures that secure safe moving of seniors on the roads.
Das Unfallrisiko junger Fahrer - Bestandsaufnahme und Überlegungen zu wirksamen Gegenmaßnahmen
(2010)
Junge Fahrer - vor allem männlichen Geschlechts - haben ein überdurchschnittlich hohes Unfallrisiko. Der Straßenverkehrsunfall ist Todesursache Nummer eins für Jugendliche. Sie haben unter der Bevölkerung den größten Anteil an verlorenen Lebensjahren. Besonders gefährdet sind Motorradfahrer. An Wochenenden und nachts ist die Unfallwahrscheinlichkeit und -häufigkeit extrem. Auch in Ländern, die hohe Anstrengungen unternehmen, um die Sicherheit im Straßenverkehr zu erhöhen und insgesamt erfolgreich sind, zeigt sich, dass die 18- bis 24-Jährigen häufiger verunfallen als die übrigen Verkehrsteilnehmer und schwerere Folgen davontragen. Die jugendliche Persönlichkeit hat einen prädominanten Einfluss auf das Fahrverhalten. Hintergründe dafür sind die hohe Risikobereitschaft, das Spannungs- und Reizbedürfnis, der Wunsch, Grenzen auszuloten sowie Gruppeneinflüsse oder Renommierverhalten. Daneben spielt allerdings auch die geringe Erfahrung eine Rolle, die zu dreierlei Problemen führen kann: - Neulenker sehen oft die Gefahr nicht, in welcher sie sich befinden, oder - sie unterschätzen die wahrgenommene Gefahr,oder - sie ueberschätzen ihre Fahrkunst und glauben, die Gefahr meistern zu können. In den letzten Jahren wurden in verschiedenen Ländern jedoch auch Fortschritte erzielt. Empfehlenswerte Maßnahmen ergeben sich bei der Ausbildung, wo neue Methoden angewandt werden, eine zweite Phase eingeführt wurde, spezielle Kampagnen konzipiert werden oder fahrzeugtechnische Modifikationen veranlasst wurden. Auch die Nachschulung für junge Lenker, wo nötig, zeitigt Wirkung. Weitere Anstrengungen sind je nach Land oder Region notwendig, insbesondere hinsichtlich der Hauptursachen für schwere Unfälle: Geschwindigkeit, Alkohol und Nicht-Anlegen des Sicherheitsgurtes. Hier lassen sich besondere Maßnahmen für Neulenker vorsehen. Daneben müssen gesellschaftliche Einflüsse, etwa die Wirkung der Automobilwerbung und -berichterstattung auf Jugendliche, berücksichtigt werden.
Over 3,814 young drivers died in European Countries in 2004. Based on the recent OECD study: "Young drivers: the road to safety" (OECD, 2006), this paper addresses the question of the factors contributing to this high risk, and it draws together the experiences of many countries in reducing this risk. The comparisons across countries show that young driver safety is related to the quality of the traffic system. Safe countries have also safe young drivers, demonstrating that raising general safety levels is beneficial for young novice drivers. The analysis of the developments over time reveals that young males in contrast to young females have not benefited enough from the latest safety measures, indicating the need for a better understanding of the nature of the young male driver accident proneness. Although, recent studies on brain development indicate that youngsters may not be sufficiently physiologically matured to handle complex and dangerous tasks such as car driving, crash patterns indicate that enhanced driving experience may have protective effects. The paper closes with a 9 point policy plan. The full OECD report (258 pages) can be downloaded for free from http://internationaltransportforum.org/Pub/pdf/06YoungDrivers.pdf.
Im September 2005 wurde erstmals eine FERSI Scientific Road Safety Research Conference durchgeführt. Mit der Konferenz sollten Resultate und Bearbeitungsstände der gemeinsamen europäischen Forschungsprojekte der FERSI Mitglieder präsentiert werden. Darüber hinaus sollten die Ergebnisse wichtiger nationaler Forschungsprojekte eingebunden sowie den Projektbearbeitern Gelegenheit zum internationalen "Networking" gegeben werden. Wolfgang Hahn, Leiter der Abteilung Straßenbau und Straßenverkehr beim Bundesministerium für Verkehr-, Bau- und Wohnungswesen unterstrich in seiner Eröffnungsrede die Notwendigkeit einer in Europa koordinierten Verkehrssicherheitsforschung, um gemeinsam zu einer Verbesserung der Straßenverkehrssicherheit zu gelangen. Aus Sicht des Leiters des Referates "Sicherheit im Straßenverkehr" der DG TREN, Dimitrios Theologitis, besteht die zentrale Aufgabe der zukünftigen europäischen Verkehrssicherheitsforschung in der Entwicklung und Verbreitung von "Best Practices". Auch er betonte, dass die Verkehrssicherheitsprobleme in Europa auch in Zukunft nur durch eine enge Zusammenarbeit der EU-Mitgliedsländer im Bereich der Forschung und durch die Umsetzung der dabei erzielten Forschungsergebnisse zu lösen seien.rnIm Anschluss an die Eröffnungsreden stellten Rune Elvik, TOI (Norwegen), Marc Gaudry, INRETS (Frankreich), David Lynam, TRL (United Kingdom) und Dr. Rudolf Krupp, BASt (Germany), in ihren Vorträgen herausragende Forschungsergebnisse im Bereich der Straßenverkehrssicherheit vor. Die sich an diese erste Vortragsrunde anschließenden Workshops waren entsprechend der Themenschwerpunkte "Daten, Strategien und Kommunikation", "Verhalten und Aufklärung" sowie "Technische Anwendungsmöglichkeiten" unterteilt. Jeder Themenschwerpunkt wurde durch 4 nacheinanderfolgende Workshops abgedeckt. In einer abschließenden Sitzung wurden die wichtigsten Ergebnisse der einzelnen Workshops vom jeweiligen Chairman des Workshops dem gesamten Plenum vorgestellt. rn
