Though researchers have investigated the accurate representation of rotating tires and wheels in aerodynamic simulations, they primarily focused on the differences in the tire or wheel geometry; few studies have investigated the effects of front-tire deflectors located at the bottom of passenger car bumpers. In other that deflectors can effectively reduce drag without significantly affecting design or packaging, deflector performance should be predicted at the early stages of product development. This study accordingly clarified the simulation conditions for full-vehicle aerodynamics necessary to accurately predict the performance of front-tire deflectors by simulating two different deflector configurations under four conditions comprising different degrees of tire geometry detail and wheel rotation methods. The simulation results were subsequently compared with wind tunnel test results, indicating that the numerical simulation using the least accurate tire geometry detail could not accurately predict the performance differences according to deflector configuration. However, the differences between the drag coefficients and airflow characteristics for each deflector were predicted more accurately by improving the tire geometry detail. The prediction accuracy was further improved by using the sliding mesh method instead of the boundary condition method to model the wheel rotation. Therefore, it was concluded that the detail tire geometry and wheel rotation method are important factors for improving the accuracy of front-tire deflector performance prediction.","PeriodicalId":37933,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Automotive Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135261187","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}

To address this goal, we deployed in-vehicle systems, wearable sensors, and procedures capable of quantifying real-world driving behavior and performance in at-risk drivers with insulin-dependent type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM). We applied these methodologies over 4 weeks of continuous observation to quantify differences in real-world driver behavior profiles associated with physiologic changes in drivers with DM (N=19) and without DM (N=14). Results showed that DM driver behavior changed as a function of glycemic state, particularly hypoglycemia. DM drivers often drive during at-risk physiologic states, possibly due to unawareness of impairment, which in turn may relate to blunted physiologic responses (measurable heart rate) to hypoglycemia after repeated episodes of hypoglycemia. We found that this DM driver cohort has an elevated risk of crashes and citations, which our results suggest is linked to the DM driver's own momentary physiology. Overall, our findings demonstrate a clear link between at-risk driver physiology and real-world driving. By discovering key relationships between naturalistic driving and parameters of contemporaneous physiologic changes, like glucose control, this study directly advances the goal of driver-state detection through wearable physiologic sensors as well as efforts to develop \"gold standard\" metrics of driver safety and an individualized approach to driver health and wellness.","PeriodicalId":37933,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Automotive Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.20485/jsaeijae.10.1_34","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39220124","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
