Der Beitrag gibt den Inhalt eines Vortrags auf dem Forum des Deutschen Verkehrssicherheitsrats (DVR) 2006 in München wieder. Anhand der folgenden 4 Statements wird eine Einschätzung des möglichen Sicherheitsgewinns durch bisher entwickelte beziehungsweise in der Entwicklung befindliche Fahrerassistenzsysteme vorgenommen: 1) Ein hohes Unfallvermeidungspotenzial besteht für die Funktionen "Kreuzungsassistenz", "Unterstützung bei der Wahl einer situationsangepassten Geschwindigkeit" und "Kollisionswarnung/-vermeidung im Längsverkehr". 2) Ungefähr ein Drittel aller Unfälle kann nur durch aktiv eingreifende Fahrerassistenzsysteme verhindert werden. 3) Die erfolgversprechendsten Assistenzfunktionen sind äußerst komplex, bedürfen noch einigen Entwicklungsaufwands und ihrer Einführung stehen zum Teil erhebliche rechtliche Hürden gegenüber. 4) Ein hohes Sicherheitspotenzial bedeutet nicht unbedingt auch einen tatsächlich hohen Sicherheitsgewinn. Abschließend wird dargelegt, welche Maßnahmen dazu beitragen könnten, die Sicherheitspotenziale von Fahrerassistenzsystemen zu erschließen.
Powered Two Wheelers (PTWs) accidents constitute one of the road safety problems in Europe. PTWs fatalities represent 22% at EU level in 2006, having increased during last years, representing an opposite trend compared to other road users" figures. In order to reduce these figures it is necessary to investigate the accident causation mechanisms from different points of view (e.g.: human factor, vehicle characteristics, influence of the environment, type of accident). SAFERIDER project ("Advanced telematics for enhancing the SAFEty and comfort of motorcycle RIDERs", under the European Commission "7th Framework Program") has investigated PTW accident mechanisms through literature review and statistical analyses of National and In-depth accident databases; detecting and describing all the possible PTW's accident configurations where the implementation of ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) and IVIS (In-Vehicle Information Systems) could contribute to avoid an accident or mitigate its severity. DIANA, the Spanish in-depth database developed by CIDAUT, has been analyzed for that purpose. DIANA comprises of accident investigation teams, in close cooperation with police forces, medical services, forensic surgeons, garages and scrap yards. An important innovation is the fact that before injured people arrive to hospitals, photographs and explanations about the possible accident injury mechanisms are sent to the respective hospitals (via 3G GPRS technology). By this, additional information to medical staff can be provided in order to predict in advance possible internal injuries and select the best medical treatment. This methodology is presented in this paper. On the other hand, the main results (corresponding to road, rider and PTW characteristics; pre and post-accident manoeuvres; road layout; rider behaviour; impact points; accident causations;...) from the analyses of the PTW accidents used for SAFERIDER are shown. Only accident types relevant to ADAS and IVIS devices have been considered.
Erfahrungen in Deutschland mit der Anwendung der EU-Empfehlung "Europäischer Grundsatzkatalog zur Fahrer-Fahrzeug-Schnittstelle für Informations- und Kommunikationssysteme" werden beschrieben und daraus Konsequenzen abgeleitet. Insgesamt ist die ergonomische Bewertung der Mensch-Maschine-Schnittstelle von Fahrerinformations- und -Kommunikationssystemen nicht als einmaliges Ereignis, sondern als immer wieder zu durchlaufender Vorgang anzusehen, da neben neuen wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen jeweils neu entwickelte Geräte und Systeme zu berücksichtigen sind, was eine Anpassung der Grundsätze beziehungsweise eine Öffnung der Grundsätze für technische Neuerungen mit hohem Sicherheitsstandard erfordern könnte. Demonstrationen neuartiger Bedienkonzepte, Systementwicklungen und Arbeitstechniken sowie die hierzu durchgeführten Nutzertests verdeutlichen, dass ergonomisch sehr vielversprechende Lösungen (wie zum Beispiel Schnittstellen, die Eingaben mittels Gestik gestatten) existieren, beziehungsweise sich in der Entwicklung befinden. Diese Lösungen zeigen, dass die Empfehlung in weiten Bereichen technologieabhängig, das heißt, mit Blick auf Neuentwicklungen, nicht erschöpfend ist. Die Weiterentwicklung der Grundsätze sowie die Bewertung der sicheren Gestaltung der Mensch-Maschine-Schnittstelle bedarf nicht nur einer europaweit, sondern weltweit abgestimmten Vorgehensweise.
Der Autor berichtet über das neu eingerichtete Expertennetzwerk HUMANIST, das sich mit Fragen der nutzerorientierten und sicherheitsgerechten Gestaltung von Fahrerassistenz- und Informationssystemen befasst. Ziel sind die Zusammenführung und Integration entsprechender Forschungsaktivitäten auf europäischer Ebene.
It is commonly agreed that active safety will have a significant impact on reducing accident figures for pedestrians and probably also bicyclists. However, chances and limitations for active safety systems have only been derived based on accident data and the current state of the art, based on proprietary simulation models. The objective of this article is to investigate these chances and limitations by developing an open simulation model. This article introduces a simulation model, incorporating accident kinematics, driving dynamics, driver reaction times, pedestrian dynamics, performance parameters of different autonomous emergency braking (AEB) generations, as well as legal and logical limitations. The level of detail for available pedestrian accident data is limited. Relevant variables, especially timing of the pedestrian appearance and the pedestrian's moving speed, are estimated using assumptions. The model in this article uses the fact that a pedestrian and a vehicle in an accident must have been in the same spot at the same time and defines the impact position as a relevant accident parameter, which is usually available from accident data. The calculations done within the model identify the possible timing available for braking by an AEB system as well as the possible speed reduction for different accident scenarios as well as for different system configurations. The simulation model identifies the lateral impact position of the pedestrian as a significant parameter for system performance, and the system layout is designed to brake when the accident becomes unavoidable by the vehicle driver. Scenarios with a pedestrian running from behind an obstruction are the most demanding scenarios and will very likely never be avoidable for all vehicle speeds due to physical limits. Scenarios with an unobstructed person walking will very likely be treatable for a wide speed range for next generation AEB systems.
Die Gestaltung der Interaktion zwischen den elektronischen "Infotainment"-Systemen im Auto und dem Fahrer gewinnt zunehmend an Bedeutung für die Verkehrssicherheit. Dem positiven Nutzen, den die Systeme hinsichtlich Fahrerunterstützung und Fahrkomfort aufweisen, stehen möglicherweise negative Auswirkungen auf die Fahrsicherheit gegenüber, wenn Ablenkung und Überlastung des Fahrers auftreten. Diesem Problemfeld widmete sich das EU-Projekt "Communication Multimedia Unit Inside Car" (COMMUNICAR), das im Juni 2003 abgeschlossen wurde. Hauptziel des Projekts waren die Entwicklung und Evaluierung eines Systems, das den Fahrer bei der Bewältigung der eingehenden Informationen unterstützt und eine zentrale Bedienmöglichkeit aufweist. Das COMMUNICAR-System enthält folgende wesentliche Elemente: Verschiedene Funktionen zu Telematikdiensten, Unterhaltung und zur digitalen Darstellung der traditionellen Informationen; eine als Informationsmanager (IM) bezeichnete regelbasierte Filterlogik sowie eine multimediale integrierte Mensch-Maschine-Schnittstelle (MMS) zur zentralen Bedienung und Informationsausgabe. In der ersten Phase der Entwicklung wurden die Nutzeranforderungen analysiert, die Funktionen definiert und die Ein-/Ausgabemodalitäten festgelegt. In der zweiten Phase wurden virtuelle Prototypen zur Gestaltung der MMS erarbeitet und diese in den anschließenden Nutzertest im Labor bewertet und ausgewählt. Die dritte Phase diente der Systementwicklung, bei der es vor allem um die Filterlogik des IM ging. Das System wurde zunächst im Fahrsimulator, anschließend unter Feldbedingungen getestet. Die Ergebnisse, die in den wesentlichen Einzelheiten berichtet werden, zeigten insgesamt ein positives Bild sowohl hinsichtlich der subjektiven Akzeptanzbewertung als auch hinsichtlich des Fahrverhaltens.
One main objective of the EU-Project SENIORS is to provide improved methods to assess thoracic injury risk to elderly occupants. In contribution to this task paired simulations with a THOR dummy model and human body model will be used to develop improved thoracic injury risk functions. The simulation results can provide data for injury criteria development in chest loading conditions that are underrepresented in PMHS test data sets that currently proposed risk functions are based on. To support this approach a new simplified generic but representative sled test fixture and CAE model for testing and simulation were developed. The parameter definition and evaluation of this sled test fixture and model is presented in this paper. The justification and definition of requirements for this test set-up was based on experience from earlier studies. Simple test fixtures like the gold standard sled fixture are easy to build and also to model in CAE, but provide too severe belt-only loading. On the other hand a vehicle buck including production components like airbag and seat is more representative, but difficult to model and to be replicated at a different laboratory. Furthermore some components might not be available for physical tests at later stage. The basis of the SENIORS generic sled test set-up is the gold standard fixture with a cable seat back and foot rest. No knee restraint was used. The seat pan design was modified including a seat ramp. The three-point belt system had a generic adjustable load limiter. A pre-inflated driver airbag assembly was developed for the test fixture. Results of THOR test and simulations in different configurations will be presented. The configurations include different deceleration pulses. Further parameter variations are related to the restraint system including belt geometry and load limiter levels. Additionally different settings of the generic airbag were evaluated. The test set-up was evaluated and optimized in tests with the THOR-M dummy in different test configurations. Belt restraint parameters like D-ring position and load limiter setting were modified to provide moderate chest loading to the occupant. This resulted in dummy readings more representative of the loading in a contemporary vehicle than most available PMHS sled tests reported in the literature. However, to achieve a loading configuration that exposes the occupant to even less severe loading comparable to modern vehicle restraints it might be necessary to further modify the test set-up. The new generic sled test set-up and a corresponding CAE model were developed and applied in tests and simulations with THOR. Within the SENIORS project with this test set-up also volunteer and PMHS as well as HBM simulations are performed, which will be reported in other publications. The test environment can contribute in future studies to the assessment of existing and new frontal impact dummies as well as dummy improvements and related instrumentation. The test set-up and model could also serve as a new standard test environment for PMHS and volunteer tests as well as HBM simulations.
Accidents between right turning trucks and straight driving cyclists often show massive consequences. Accident severity in terms of seriously or fatally injured cyclists that are involved is much higher than in accidents of other traffic participants in other situations. It seems clear that adding additional mirrors will very likely not improve the situation. At ESV 2015, a methodology to derive test procedures and first test cases as well as requirements for a driver assist system to address blind spot accidents has been presented. However, it was unclear if and how testing of these cases is feasible, to what extent characteristics of different truck concepts (e.g. articulated vehicles, rigid vehicles) influence the test conduction and outcome, and what tolerances should be selected for the different variables. This work is important for the acceptance of a draft regulation in the UN working group on general safety. In the meantime, three test series using a single tractor vehicle, a tractor-semitrailer combination and a rigid vehicle have been conducted. The test tools (e.g. surrogate devices) have been refined. A fully crashable, commercially available bicycle dummy has been tested. If used correct, this dummy does follow a straight line quite precisely and it does not cause any damage to the truck under test in case of accidental impact. The dummy specifications are freely available. During testing, the different vehicle categories resulted in different trajectories being driven. Articulated vehicle combinations did first execute a turn into the opposite direction, and on the other hand, single tractor vehicles did behave comparable to passenger cars. A possible solution to take these behaviors into account is to require the vehicles to drive through a corridor that is narrow for a precise straight-driving phase and extends during the turn. Other investigated parameters are the dummy and vehicle speed tolerances. The results from this research make it possible to draft a regulation for a driver assistance system that helps to avoid blind spot accidents: test cases have been refined, their feasibility has been checked, and corridors for the vehicles and for important parameters (e.g. test speeds) have been set. The test procedure is applicable to all types of heavy goods vehicles. In combination with the accidentology (ESV 2015 paper), the work provides the basis for a regulation for such an assistance system.
