Cartalk 2000: Development of a co-operative ADAS based on vehicle-to-vehicle communication

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) benefit from using vehicle-to-vehicle communication. In the 5th framework EC project CarTALK2000 co-operative ADAS are designed, tested and evaluated with respect to increasing traffic safety, efficiency and driving comfort. Communication based longitudinal control (CBLC) systems extend the driver’s...

Preliminary design of an application for communication based longitudinal control in the Cartalk2000 project

Mathematical human body models representing a mid size male and a small female for frontal, lateral and rearward impact loading

A human body model representing a mid size male has been presented at the 1998 STAPP conference. A combination of modeling techniques was applied using rigid bodies for most segments, but describing the thorax as a deformable structure. In this paper, this modeling strategy was employed to also develop a model representing a small female. The...

Interfacing RAMSIS and the crash simulation program MADYMO

Both RAMSIS and MADYMO are widely applied for computer aided vehicle design. Both programs are used to simulate occupant-vehicle interactions where RAMSIS focuses on ergonomics in normal driving conditions and MADYMO focuses on passive safety in impact conditions. This paper describes the development of interfaces between RAMSIS and MADYMO. Such...

Human body modeling in injury biomechanics

Mathematical modelling is widely used for crash-safety research and design. However, most occupant models used in crash simulations are based on crash dummies and thereby inherit their apparent limitations. This paper describes a mathematical model of the real human body for impact loading. A combination of modelling techniques is applied using...

Mathematical human body modelling for impact loading

Mathematical modelling of the human body is widely used for automotive crash safety research and design. Simulations have contributed to a reduction of injury numbers by optimisation of vehicle structures and restraint systems. Currently such simulations are largely performed using occupant models based on crash dummies. These models inherit the...

A mathematical human body model for frontal and rearward seated automotive impact loading

Mathematical modelling is widely used for crash-safety research and design. However, most occupant models used in crash simulations are based on crash dummies and thereby inherit their apparent limitations. Several models simulating parts of the real human body have been published, but only few describe the entire human body and these models...
