From Electroencephalograph (EEG), we could figure out the Relaxed Index (RI) and Focus Index (FI) of the driver. And then a Tired Index (TI) of the driver will be found. We use the tired index of the driver, the Time-To-Collision (TTC) and Headway Time (HT) to be the factors for evaluating the forward collision probability. When we evaluate the forward collision probability indices of TTC and HT, a Mamdani fuzzy inference algorithm is presented for calculating the forward collision probability index of the vehicle. The Forward Collision Probability Index (FCPI) is easily understood for the driver even those who do not have any professional knowledge in the vehicle field. It is useful and easily understood for the presented probability index of forwarding collision for alerting the driver to avoid the forward collision when driving on the highway.","PeriodicalId":35143,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Vehicle Safety","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46575440","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, the likelihood of rollovers, rearward amplification, and off-tracking are analysed among those LCVs using the multi-domain dynamic models developed in TruckSim. The efforts to validate the truck dynamic model against test results are also included. The simulation results show that trucks with triple trailers exhibit a larger rearward amplification, higher likelihood of rollovers, and larger off-tracking than trucks with double trailers. Additionally, the results indicate that increasing the trailer length from 28 to 33 feet does not increase the likelihood of rollovers or the rearward amplification. In fact, the longer trailers provide a slight amount of additional roll stability due to their longer wheelbase.","PeriodicalId":35143,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Vehicle Safety","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44288828","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Firstly, the bivariate accelerating patterns between the longitudinal acceleration, lateral acceleration and velocity are proposed. Next, the univariate accelerating behaviour characteristics are achieved. Then, the extreme driving data in 0.01st density contour outer area are analysed. In the last, the driving style is studied based on the extreme acceleration data. The conclusions include: the univariate acceleration distributions approximate the Pareto distribution, which is known as the heavy tail distribution. Most of the extreme acceleration data are not dangerous events. And the majority of the dangerous events are in the high brake deceleration region, whereas high lateral acceleration does not have apparent relationship with the dangerous event. Aggressive drivers account for most of the extreme acceleration data, and they are more likely to be in danger.","PeriodicalId":35143,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Vehicle Safety","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44021868","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective is to devise a path tracking controller under the condition that a vehicle travels along a prescribed path to generate an expected trajectory. Aiming at this purpose, a tyre model and optimal preview time are established firstly. And then a path tracking controller based on Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) method is designed and calculation for the path tracking problem is simulated with a joint simulation of Carsim/Simulink. Finally, a real-vehicle test is executed to verify the rationality of the path tracking controller. The results show that the minimum lateral position error between the generated trajectory and the prescribed path can be a good indicator of successful solving of the path tracking problem in inverse vehicle handling dynamics for LQR method. The study can help drivers easily identify safe lane-keeping trajectories and area.","PeriodicalId":35143,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Vehicle Safety","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42571326","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Currently, no regulation exists in North America for the far-side occupant protection. Real-world crash data has shown that occupants seated on the non-struck side, defined as 'far-side' occupants, are still subjected to a risk of injuries. The objective of this study is to investigate body responses for the far-side occupant using current US side impact protocols. Current side impact protocol in the USA is designed to meet side Moving Deformable Barrier (MDB) and fixed oblique pole impact. Two seating cases are addressed; the first case consisted of a far-side occupant in the first row (single occupant) to evaluate the interaction of the occupant to the structure. The second case, a near-side occupant, was added to the far-side occupant (two occupants in a row) to study the interaction of the occupant-to-occupant. A finite element human body model (50th male) was used as a far-side and near-side occupant. Simulation results indicated that the LINCAP barrier could potentially produce the significant head rotational acceleration and thoracic rib deflection if the far-side occupant was included in the existing near-side crash protocols.","PeriodicalId":35143,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Vehicle Safety","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49633779","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The ductility failure parameters of aluminium alloy materials were obtained by tensile test of aluminium alloy samples under different stress triaxialities and finite element simulation. To evaluate the crush resistance of profiles, the concept of specific crush force was proposed, the crush resistance of different sections of extruded aluminium profiles were compared, and the relationship between the angle and thickness of the reinforcement and crush force was summarised. The result shows that the form and thickness of the reinforcement have a great influence on the crush resistance of the section. The research provides a quantitative reference for the form of the stiffeners of aluminium section in the concept phase of power battery packs design.","PeriodicalId":35143,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Vehicle Safety","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1504/IJVS.2019.101304","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41741871","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
