Driver distraction is a leading cause of crashes. The introduction of in-vehicle technology in the last decades has added support to the driving task. However, in-vehicle technologies and handheld electronic devices may also be a threat to driver safety due to information overload and distraction. Adaptive in-vehicle information systems may be a...

NATO and the nations use distributed simulation environments for various purposes, such as training, mission rehearsal, and decision support in acquisition processes. Consequently, modeling and simulation (M&S) has become a critical technology for the coalition and its nations. Achieving interoperability between participating simulation systems...

This paper discusses the predicted increase in the occurrence and severity of motion sickness in self-driving cars. Self-driving cars have the potential to lead to significant benefits. From the driver's perspective, the direct benefits of this technology are considered increased comfort and productivity. However, we here show that the envisaged...

Depending on the state of stress, material can fait in a number of different modes during a collision. Three modes are identified here as material separation in the absence of necking, material separation after the onset of necking, and localized buckling/wrinkling. Through a series of case studies, the states of stress present in a collision...

Automation disuse and associated loss of automation benefits may occur if users of automated vehicles experience motion sickness. Compared to conventional vehicles, motion sickness will be of greater concern due to the absence of vehicle control and the anticipated engagement in non-driving tasks. Furthermore, future users are expected to be...

Intelligent transport systems are accepted as an integral part of the transport system. They have high potential in reducing the carbon footprint of traffic while improving efficient and safe transport. The calculation of CO<inf>2</inf> emissions arising from the transport sector incorporating the impact of ITS is a challenging task. A...

Self-driving cars have the potential to bring significant benefits to drivers and society at large. However, all envisaged scenarios are predicted to increase the risk of motion sickness. This will negatively affect user acceptance and uptake and hence negate the benefits of this technology. Here we discuss the impact of the user interface...

Internationally, drowsy driving is associated with around 20% of all crashes. Despite the development of different detection methods, driver drowsiness remains a disconcerting public health issue. Detection methods can estimate drowsiness by directly measuring the physiology of the driver, or they can measure the effect that drowsiness has on...

Simulation of failure in plate materials (represented as shell elements) is critical for the correct determination of crash performance of ships and offshore structures. This need has traditionally been filled with failure loci that give the failure strain in terms of stress triaxiality. In recent years, a third dimension (Lode parameter) has...

The increasing use of liquefied natural gas (LNG) as bunker fuel in ships, calls for an elaborate study regarding the risks involved. One particular issue is the vulnerability of cryogenic LNG storage tanks with respect to impact loadings, such as ship collisions and dropped objects. This requires an understanding of the impact resistance of the...

Shipping is gradually embracing natural gas as bunker fuel. The most viable way to store natural gas on board is in its liquid form. Gas needs to be cooled to cryogenic temperatures and in practice moderately pressurized. On board ships, solely double walled pressure tanks are used for this purpose. Loss of containment due to a collision, is one...

The crashworthiness of a structure can have a large effect on the area based risk in case of collisions. Typical examples are chemical tankers sailing the European inland waterways and offshore structures at our shores. Therefore, the assessment of crashworthiness is nowadays often included in the design process of such structures. But what if...

The concept of goal based design is gradually gaining a foothold in the IMO regulatory process. This paper demonstrates how this concept can be implemented in a practical way. The demonstrator case is transport of dangerous cargo on Europe's inland water ways. © 2011 Taylor & Francis Group, London.

Secondary (or passive) safety constitutes one of the most important strategies to reduce the traffic trauma problem. The European R&D needs in this field are partially dealt with in a large European co-operative R&D project called APROSYS (Advanced Protection Systems) supported by the European Commission. The general objective of APROSYS is the...

Many European road casualties result from vehicles leaving the road, often impacting roadside obstacles. As part of the European Commission-funded project RISER (Roadside Infrastructure for Safer European Roads), several activities were undertaken to collate the type of real world crash data which is needed to understand single vehicle crash...

This study presents a multi-scale human body model that is capable of predicting full-body response in side impact, including detailed thoracic response and injury. The model is based on a detailed finite element model of a 50th percentile human thorax that has been enhanced with improved finite element mesh geometry and refinement, and...

The vehicle design environment from a crashworthiness and safety perspective has become increasingly complex in recent years. New legal requirements imposed by the European Union (EU) and the United States National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) have created a design space of great complexity with many parameters that must be...

In order to investigate and ultimately improve the crashworthiness of side facing sofas, a series of sled tests were performed. The EUROSID-1 dummy was used to measure various signals needed to assess injury potential. To facilitate a parametric study in injury potential related factors a MADYMO computer model of these tests was made and needed...
