Lupker, H. (author), Lemmen, P. (author), Ploeg, J. (author), TNO Wegtransportmiddelen (author)Pre-Crash Systems (PCS) use environment sensors and electronic control functions to improve the effectiveness of passive safety devices by activating them before a collision occurs. In view of the autonomous character and high demands on reliability, dedicated design tools and methodologies are required. PreScan, MADYMO and VEHIL and their...conference paper 2006

Willemsen, D.M.C. (author), Verburg, D. (author), Schutyser, P. (author), TNO Wegtransportmiddelen (author)In a study the traffic safety of trams was identified as an important area for traffic safety improvement. Hence, TNO and a public transport company started a co-operation to improve the traffic safety of trams and lightrail through driver assistant systems. Both from identified situations and measured situations the most interesting were...conference paper 2006

(author), TNO Wegtransportmiddelen (author)In Europe approximately 1250 children younger than 15 years of age die in traffic each year. The number of children severely injured in traffic is dramatically higher. Within the ECE-R44 regulation the safety of children in cars has been regulated by means of certification of child restraint systems (CRS). Much has been achieved, but further...conference paper 2005

Philippens, M.M.G.M. (author), Cappon, H.J. (author), van Ratingen, M.R. (author), TNO Wegtransportmiddelen (author)The development of modern smart restraint systems requires access to human surrogates with a biofidelic performance, which includes details on timing and local deformations. Therefore volunteer head neck responses for oblique impacts from the Naval BioDynamics Laboratory are re-analysed using a method developed by Thunnissen (1995). Response...conference paper 2004

van Mierlo, J. (author), Maggetto, G. (author), van de Burgwal, H.C. (author), Gense, N.L.J. (author), TNO Wegtransportmiddelen (author)This paper describes the influence on vehicle emissions and energy consumption of different vehicle parameters and driving style as well as of traffic measures taken in order to increase transport safety or to reduce traffic jams. This should allow the Flemish Regional Government to perform more realistic modelling of the impact of transport on...article 2004
