D2.1 Requirements and Specification 4.6.1.3 Injuries 4.6.1.3.1 Fatal injuries The injury pyramid for EU shows on the top a total of 250000 fatal injuries. These injuries mostly comprise of children, adolescents and young adults. The Netherlands has the lowest rate of fatal injuries in EU and estimated more than 100,000 lives could be saved each year if the countries lower their injury mortality rate to the current Netherlands rate (Injuries in the European Union Statistics Summary 2005-2007). 4.6.1.3.2 Nonfatal injuries An estimated 60 million people every year are medically treated for an injury. 42 million people are treated in hospital for injuries every year and out which 7 million are admitted for severe injuries which is about 19000 people every day. The total estimated cost of injury related hospital treatment is €15 billion, this is because of the patients receive more than 50 million hospital days of treatment every year accounting to 9% of all hospital days (DG Sanco 2004 cited in Injuries in the European Union Statistics Summary 2005-2007). There are more than 3 million people permanently disabled in the European Union due these non-fatal injuries (Labour Force Survey 2002 cited in Injuries in the European Union Statistics Summary 2005-2007). Figure below shows non-fatal injuries per 1000 by sex and age group. 4.6.1.3.3 Trends Figure 9: Non-fatal injuries per 1000 by sex and age group Fatal home and leisure injuries are growing because of falls among elderly people. Non-Fatal injuries are also on the rise in the home and leisure areas where as in traffic and work-place it is level. There is going to be rise in the number of disabled people because of the decline in fatal injuries and stable or increasing non-fatal injuries. The injury hotspots that are identified are children, adolescents, older people, vulnerable road users, sports, product and services related accidents, interpersonal violence, and self harm. 75% of all injury deaths are due to accidental injuries and 25% are due to intentional injuries. The most fatalities occur due to suicide 24
D2.1 Requirements and Specification and road injuries both in absolute and relative terms (in relation to the number of hospital treated injuries). 70% of all injuries in EU are treated in hospitals. Home, leisure and sports are the biggest domain of all hospital treated injuries accounting for 74% (Assessing disability 2004 cited in Injuries in the European Union Statistics Summary 2005-2007). Road injuries account for 10% of all hospital treated injuries or a total of 4.3 million victims every year as estimated by EU IDB (Injuries in the European Union Statistics Summary 2005- 2007). 4.6.1.4 Wheel Chair Market Europe (Business Wire 2009) The top five countries in wheelchair market are Germany, United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, and France. The market increased by 5.8% in total units sold and 5.2% in value in 2008 in the top 5 countries. The wheelchair market is expected to grow steadily after 2008 and increase to approximately 300,000 units sold in 2011 which will amount to €737.3 million in sales. More people are surviving accidents and people live longer because of better medical treatment and equipment. This has resulted in an increase in the growth of wheelchair market. 4.6.2 Second Demonstrator: Robotic Systems for examining Hazardous Environments Nowadays intelligent remotely operated vehicles are often employed in scenarios including investigation of environments like toxic or irradiated environments or areas hardly reachable by a person or dangerous for a person to walk through. Many intelligent vehicles have been developed in the past years and some of them are already available on the market. Remotely operated vehicles have a large variety of sensors for environment perception as well as a robust platform with wheels or chains for propulsion, but they do not act independently, being remotely operated by a person. Some remotely operated vehicles include some intelligence on board in order to monitor its surroundings and sense dangerous situations (such as detecting and avoiding obstacles), which makes the remote control significantly easier for the operator. The wireless communication channel is critical for remote controlled vehicles, because it should enable a real-time transfer of all data required by the user. Remotely operated vehicles exist in different size and weight categories, depending on the applications which they should serve. They are employed in military as well as civilian applications. Many models exist on the market, modified to specific applications. The scenarios in which such vehicles are useful vary from reconnaissance and sample collection to Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD). Some of these vehicles are presented in the following paragraphs.
