Es wird über das Ende 2002 abgeschlossene EU-Projekt ADVISORS berichtet. Ziel dieses Projektes, an dem sich 16 Organisationen aus 10 europäischen Ländern beteiligten, war es, die Entwicklung, Testung und Implementierung von Fahrerassistenzsystemen (FAS) zu unterstützen. Es wurde eine umfassende Methodik zur Bewertung von FAS entwickelt und auf dieser Basis wurden eine Reihe von Evaluationsstudien zu ausgewählten FAS durchgeführt. Des Weiteren wurden Implementierungsstrategien für bestimmte FAS entwickelt und mit Experten verschiedener Länder diskutiert.
The development of tyre- and truck-manufacturers leads to the direction to introduce wide base single tyres (size 495/45R22,5) instead of twin tyres on the driving axle of trucks, tractors and busses. To study the driving behaviour and safety of various trucks and units with different tyre combinations and loading conditions was the aim of the study. A computer-aided simulation was used for this investigation. Drive tests with a 40 t unit with prototype single tyres on the drive axle were carried out to verify the simulation. Alterations in driving behaviour and driving safety are mainly dependent on the tyre cornering stiffness. The prototype wide single tyres had a higher lateral stiffness which leads to a higher degree of under-steering (safer driving behaviour). The altered spring base on the drive axle had no influence on the side- tilt stability of vehicle combinations but the solo truck profited from the higher rear axle roll stiffness (less danger for roll-over accidents). As far as the driving safety is concerned nothing speaks against wide base tyres on the drive axle. The simulation of a tyre defect in a bend (assuming 40% of the max. transferable side force for the flat tyre) showed no increased danger using wide single tyres. Later driving tests showed however the need of tyre run flat possibilities to avoid jack-knifing of road trains. Also tyre pressure monitoring systems and electronic stability programs for the trucks are advised.
At the 2001 ESV-Conference the EEVC working group on compatibility (WG 15) reported the first phase of the research work to investigate the major factors influencing compatibility between passenger cars. Following this, WG15 performed an interim study, which was partly subventioned by the European Commission, the results of which are reported in this paper. In the next phase of work, it is intended to complete the development of a suite of test procedures and associated performance criteria to assess the compatibility of passenger cars in frontal impacts The main areas of work for the interim study were: - in depth accident data analysis - the development of methods to assess the potential benefit of improved compatibility - crash testing. The accident analysis identified the major compatibility problems to be poor structural interaction, stiffness mismatching and compartment strength. Different methods to assess the potential benefit of improved compatibility were applied to in depth accident data. Full scale crash testing including a car to car test was performed to help develop the following candidate compatibility test procedures: - a full width wall test with a deformable aluminium honeycomb face and a high resolution load cell wall - an offset barrier test with the EEVC barrier face and a high resolution load cell wall - an offset barrier test with the progressively deformable barrier (PDB) face. The results of the interim study will be presented in detail and the proposed methodology of the next phase to complete the development of a suite of test procedures for the assessment of car to car compatibility in frontal impacts will be outlined
Sowohl mit dem 3. Road Safety Action Programme der Europäischen Kommission als auch mit dem deutschen Verkehrssicherheitsprogramm werden die verkehrspolitischen Zielsetzungen zur Erhöhung der Verkehrssicherheit in Europa und Deutschland festgelegt. Hierbei muss die passive Fahrzeugsicherheit auch weiterhin eine bedeutende Rolle übernehmen. Es ist jedoch auch festzustellen, dass durch den zunehmenden Einsatz von Elektronik im Fahrzeug die klassischen Bereiche der aktiven und passiven Fahrzeugsicherheit mehr und mehr ineinander greifen. Der Fortschritt in der Elektronik ermöglicht eine Integration der Systeme der aktiven und passiven Sicherheit. Dadurch lässt sich die Fahrzeugsicherheit weiter steigern. Durch die Vernetzung der Systeme lassen sich sogar Kosten einsparen. Der europäische Regierungsausschuss EEVC (European Enhanced Vehicle-safety Committee), die Verbraucherschutzorganisation Euro NCAP (European New Car Assessment Programme) und die Europäische Kommission mit der eSafety Initiative haben diesen Trend erkannt und entsprechende Aktivitäten eingeleitet.
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.
Abschluss des deutsch-französischen Verbundprojekts "Inter-Vehicle Hazard Warning" (DEUFRAKO-IVWH)
(2004)
Im Rahmen der Deutsch-Französischen Kooperation im Verbundprojekt "Inter-Vehicle Hazard Warning" (DEUFRAKO-IVWH) wurde ein auf Fahrzeug-Fahrzeug-Kommunikation basierendes Warnsystem konzipiert und bewertet. Die im Rahmen des Projekts durchgeführten Arbeiten haben gezeigt, dass ein auf Fahrzeug-Fahrzeug-Kommunikation basierendes Warnsystem prinzipiell geeignet ist, einen Beitrag zur Erhöhung der Verkehrssicherheit zu leisten. Das Ausmaß der zu erwartenden positiven Effekte ist allerdings ganz wesentlich abhängig vom Ausstattungsgrad der Fahrzeugflotte mit einem solchen System.
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.

The European Enhanced Vehicle-safety Committee wants to promote the use of more biofidelic child dummies and biomechanical based tolerance limits in regulatory and consumer testing. This study has investigated the feasibility and potential impact of Q-dummies and new injury criteria for child restraint system assessment in frontal impact. European accident statistics have been reviewed for all ECE-R44 CRS groups. For frontal impact, injury measures are recommended for the head, neck, chest and abdomen. Priority of body segment protection depends on the ECE-R44 group. The Q-dummy family is able to reflect these injuries, because of its biofidelity performance and measurement capabilities for these body segments. Currently, the Q0, Q1, Q1.5, Q3 and Q6 are available representing children of 0, 1, 1.5, 3 and 6 years old. These Q-dummies cover almost all dummy weight groups as defined in ECE-R44. Q10, representing a 10 year-old child, is under development. New child dummy injury criteria are under discussion in EEVC WG12. Therefore, the ECE-R44 criteria are assessed by comparing the existing P-dummies and new Q-dummies in ECE-R44 frontal impact sled tests. In total 300 tests covering 30 CRSs of almost all existing child seat categories are performed by 11 European organizations. From this benchmark study, it is concluded that the performance of the Q-dummy family is good with respect to repeatability of the measurement signals and the durability of the dummies. Applying ECE-R44 criteria, the first impression is that results for P- and Q-dummy are similar. For child seat evaluation the potential merits of the Q-dummy family lie in the extra measurement possibilities of these dummies and in the more biofidelic response.
Die Reduzierung des Verkehrslärms ist eine große Herausforderung für alle Beteiligten. Das gilt umso mehr, als nach den Prognosen sich die Verkehrsleistung auf der Straße noch stark erhöhen wird. Viele Stellen in Deutschland, wie Industrie, Forschungseinrichtungen und Behörden haben sich der Problematik angenommen. Forschungsarbeiten wurden und werden durchgeführt oder sind in Vorbereitung. Über die nationalen Aktivitäten hinaus wird das Thema europaweit behandelt. In vier Beiträgen wird über die europäischen Forschungsprojekte SILVIA, ITARI, SILENCE und P2RN berichtet. Das Spektrum der Konzepte dieser Forschungsarbeiten ist sehr breit und erstreckt sich über praktische und theoretische Ansätze.
Der Allgemeine Deutsche Automobil-Club e.V. (ADAC) und die Bundesanstalt für Straßenwesen (BASt) veranstalteten am 13. Oktober 2006 in Baden-Baden das 6. Symposium "Sicher fahren in Europa". Die Fachvorträge befassten sich mit den Themenbereichen: Ansätze zu mehr Verkehrssicherheit, - Verbesserung der Fahrzeugsicherheit, - Besondere Zielgruppen. Die CD-ROM dokumentiert die Grußworte, die Referate und die Podiumsdiskussion.
Das Projekt IMPROVER (Impact Assessment of Road Safety Measures for Vehicles and Road Equipment / Wirkungsanalyse und Bewertung von verschiedenen Verkehrssicherheitsmaßnahmen) wurde im Auftrag der Europäischen Kommission (Generaldirektion Energie und Verkehr) bearbeitet, um die folgenden Straßenverkehrssicherheitsaspekte zu untersuchen: den Einfluss der wachsenden Zahl von Sport Utility Vehicles (SUV) und Multi Purpose Vehicles (MPV) auf Verkehrssicherheit, Kraftstoffverbrauch und Emissionen; die Bewertung von Maßnahmen zur Verbesserung der Verkehrssicherheit von leichten Nutzfahrzeugen; die Auswirkungen des Tempomaten auf Verkehrssicherheit, Kraftstoffverbrauch und Emissionen; die Harmonisierung von Verkehrszeichen und Markierungen auf dem Transeuropäischen Straßennetz (TERN) unter Verkehrssicherheitsgesichtspunkten. Das Projekt wurde von der Bundesanstalt für Straßenwesen (BASt) zusammen mit 14 Partnerinstituten von November 2004 bis Mai 2006 bearbeitet. Entsprechend den Aufgaben wurde das Projekt in vier voneinander unabhängige Subprojekte eingeteilt. Der vorliegende Artikel gibt eine Übersicht über die in den jeweiligen Unterprojekten geleisteten Arbeiten, deren Ergebnisse und die daraus abgeleiteten Empfehlungen.
As set out in the Terms of Reference, the objective of European Enhanced Vehicle-safety Committee (EEVC) Working Group (WG) 15 Car Crash Compatibility and Frontal Impact is to develop a test procedure(s) with associated performance criteria for car frontal impact compatibility. This work should lead to improved car to car frontal compatibility and self protection without decreasing the safety in other impact configuration such as impacts with car sides, trucks, and pedestrians. Since 2003, EEVC WG 15 served as a steering group for the car-to-car activities in the "Improvement of Vehicle Crash Compatibility through the development of Crash Test Procedures" (VC-COMPAT) project that was finalised at the end of 2006 and partly funded by the European Commission. This paper presents the research work carried out in the VC-COMPAT project and the results of its assessment by EEVC WG 15. Other additional work presented by the UK and French governments and industry " in particular the European industry - was taken into consideration. It also identifies current issues with candidate testing approaches. The candidate test approaches are: - an offset barrier test with the progressive deformable barrier (PDB) face in combination with a full width rigid barrier test - a full width wall test with a deformable aluminium honeycomb face and a high resolution load cell wall supplemented by the forces measured in the offset deformable barrier (ODB) test with the current EEVC barrier. These candidate test approaches must assess the structural interaction and give information of frontal force levels and compartment strength for passenger vehicles. Further, this paper presents the planned route map of EEVC WG 15 for the evaluation of the proposed test procedures and assessment criteria.
At the 2005 ESV conference, the International Harmonisation of Research Activities (IHRA) side impact working group proposed a 4 part draft test procedure, to form the basis of harmonisation of regulation world-wide and to help advances in car occupant protection. This paper presents the work performed by a European Commission 6th framework project, called APROSYS, an further development and evaluation of the proposed procedure from a European perspective. The 4 parts of the proposed procedure are: - A Mobile Deformable Barrier test; - An oblique Pole side impact test; - Interior headform tests; - Side Out of Position (OOP) tests. Full scale test and modelling work to develop the Advanced European Mobile Deformable Barrier (AE-MDB) further is described, resulting in a recommendation to revise the barrier face to include a bumper beam element. An evaluation of oblique and perpendicular pole tests was made from tests and numerical simulations using ES-2 and WorldSID 50th percentile dummies. It was concluded that an oblique pole test is feasible but that a perpendicular test would be preferable for Europe. The interior headform test protocol was evaluated to assess its repeatability and reproducibility and to solve issues such as the head impact angle and limitation zones. Recommendations for updates to the test protocol are made. Out-of-position (OOP) tests applicable for the European situation were performed, which included additional tests with Child Restraint Systems (CRS) which use is mandatory in Europe. It was concluded that the proposed IHRA OOP tests do cover the worst case situations, but the current test protocol is not ready for regulatory use.
The use of proper child restraint systems (CRS) is mandatory for children travelling in cars in most countries of the world. The analysis of the quantity of restrained children shows that more than 90% of the children in Germany are restrained. Looking at the quality of the protection, a large discrepancy between restrained and well protected children can be seen. Two out of three children in Germany are not properly restrained. In addition, considerable difference exists with respect to the technical performance of CRS. For that reason investigations and optimisations on two different topics are necessary: The technical improvement of CRS and the ease of use of CRS. Consideration of the knowledge gained by the comparison of different CRS in crash tests would lead to some improvements of the CRS. But improvement of child safety is not only a technical issue. People should use CRS in the correct way. Misuse and incorrect handling could lead to less safety than correct usage of a poor CRS. For that reason new technical issues are necessary to improve the child safety AND the ease of use. Only the combination of both parts can significantly increase child safety. For the assessment of the safety level of common CRS, frontal and lateral sled tests simulating different severity levels were conducted comparing pairs of CRS which were felt to be good and CRS which were felt to be poor. The safety of some CRS is currently at a high level. All well known products were not damaged in the performed tests. The performance of non-branded CRS was mostly worse than that of the well known products. Although the branded child restraint systems already show a high safety level it is still possible to further improve their technical performance as demonstrated with a baby shell and a harness type CRS.
A legform impactor with biofidelic characteristics (FlexPLI) which is being developed by the Japanese Automobile Research Institute (JARI) is being considered as a test tool for legislation within a proposed Global Technical Regulation on pedestrian protection (UNECE, 2006) and therefore being evaluated by the Technical Evaluation Group (TEG) of GRSP. In previous built levels it already showed good test results on real cars as well as under idealised test conditions but also revealed further need for improvement. A research study at the Federal Highway Research Institute (BASt) deals with the question on how leg injury risks of modern car fronts can be revealed, reflected and assessed by the FlexPLI and how the impactor can be used and implemented as a legislative instrument for the type approval of cars according to current and future legislations on pedestrian protection. The latest impactor built level (GTα ) is being evaluated by a general review and assessment of the certification procedure, the knee joint biofidelity and the currently proposed injury criteria. Furthermore, the usability, robustness and durability as a test tool for legislation is examined and an assessment of leg injuries is made by a series of tests with the FlexPLI on real cars with modern car front shapes as well as under idealised test conditions. Finally, a comparison is made between the FlexPLI and the current european legislation tool, the legform impactor according to EEVC WG 17.
The PDB, BASt and Opel conducted two test series to evaluate possible effects on the results obtained using the EEVC WG17 Lower Legform Impactor as a test tool for the assessment of pedestrian safety. The reproducibility and repeatability of the test results were assessed using six legform impactors while keeping the test parameters constant. In the second series one impactor was used and the test parameters were varied to assess the effects on the readings of the legform. The test parameters were velocity, temperature, relative humidity, the point of first contact regarding the deviation in z-direction and the deviations of the pitch, roll and yaw angle. The tests were performed using an inverse setup, i.e. the legform was hit by a guided linear impactor equipped with a honeycomb deformation element. This setup was chosen to be able to vary each single parameter while avoiding variations of the other test parameters at the same time. The test parameters were varied stronger than allowed in regulatory use in order to determine possible dependencies between the parameters and the readings which were acceleration, bending angle and shear displacement.
Technical progress in automotive engineering focuses at the moment on two competing branches: improving safety and reducing energy consumption. Recent consideration has been given to a third factor, cost to the consumer. Challenges are presented by demographic changes, especially with increasing participation of elderly people in road traffic. The report considers the recent history of road accidents in Germany and statistics relating to vehicle population and road performance. There is a general trend towards decreasing numbers of accidents and their severity. Transport is responsible for roughly 20% of CO2 emissions and approximately 70% of total petroleum consumption. The Federal Government has responded to these challenges by publishing the Freight Transport and Logistics Masterplan in the summer of 2008. It describes the strategic transport policy direction and the key elements of the future course of action which are to be used to ensure the provision of efficient infrastructure and, at the same time, to reduce the amount of energy consumed by vehicles and make transport more efficient, cleaner and quieter. This document contains a number of concrete measures subsumed under the following six objectives: Making optimum use of transport infrastructure - shaping transport to make it more efficient; Reducing the number of journeys - ensuring mobility; Transferring more traffic to the railways and inland waterways; Upgrading more transport arteries and hubs; Environmentally friendly, climate friendly, quiet and safe transport, and Good working conditions and good training in the freight transport industry. Progress in research is outlined in the following areas: Daytime Running Lights for Motorcycles; Safety of hydrogen vehicles - addressing safety and environmental issues by development of a Global Technical Regulation for hydrogen vehicles; Elements of active vehicle safety for elderly drivers; Periodical Technical Inspection of electronically controlled systems in road vehicles - Electronic Stability Control; Pedestrian protection; Crash Compatibility - role of collision partner in passive safety tests; Child safety; Euro NCAP - Child Restraint Systems, and German Field Operational Test on Car-to-Car and Car-to-Infrastructure Systems (SIM-TD). The research project AKTIV - "Adaptive and Cooperative Technologies for Intelligent Traffic" encompasses the design, development, and evaluation of novel driver assistance systems, knowledge and information technologies and is set up to find solutions for efficient traffic management and Car-to-Car and Car-to-Infrastructure communication for future cooperative vehicle applications. The European Statement of Principles on the Human Machine Interface (HMI), presented at the eSafety Conference, which was held in Berlin on 5/6 June 2007, addresses issues such as Real Time Traffic Information (RTTI), Legal issues of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and e-security.
Since its beginning in 1999, the German In-Depth Accident Study (GIDAS) evolved into the presumably leading representative road traffic accident investigation in Europe, based on the work started in Hanover in 1973. The detailed and comprehensive description of traffic accidents forms an essential basis for vehicle safety research. Due to the ongoing extension of demands of researchers, there is a continuous progress in the techniques and systematic of accident investigation within GIDAS. This paper presents some of the most important developments over the last years. Primary vehicle safety systems are expected to have a significant and increasing influence on reducing accidents. GIDAS therefore began to include and collect active safety parameters as new variables from the year 2005 onwards. This will facilitate to assess the impact of present and future active safety measures. A new system to analyse causation factors of traffic accidents, called ACASS, was implemented in GIDAS in the year 2008. The whole process of data handling was optimised. Since 2005 the on-scene data acquisition is completely conducted with mobile tablet PCs. Comprehensive plausibility checks assure a high data quality. Multi-language codebooks are automatically generated from the database structure itself and interfaces ensure the connection to various database management systems. Members of the consortium can download database and codebook, and synchronize half a terabyte of photographic documentation through a secured online access. With the introduction of the AIS 2005 in the year 2006, some medical categorizations have been revised. To ensure the correct assignment of AIS codes to specific injuries an application based on a diagnostic dictionary was developed. Furthermore a coding tool for the AO classification was introduced. All these enhancements enable GIDAS to be up to date for future research questions.
