A flexible pedestrian legform impactor (FlexPLI) with biofidelic characteristics is aimed to be implemented within global legislation on pedestrian protection. Therefore, it is being evaluated by a technical evaluation group (Flex-TEG) of GRSP with respect to its biofidelity, robustness, durability, usability and protection level (Zander, 2008). Previous studies at the Federal Highway Research Institute (BASt) and other laboratories already showed good progress concerning the general development, but also the need for further improvement and further research in various areas. An overview is provided of the different levels of development and all kinds of evaluation activities of the Flex-TEG, starting with the Polar II full scale pedestrian dummy as its origin and ending up with the latest legform impactor built level GTR that is expected to be finalized by the end of the year 2009. Using the latest built levels as a basis, gaps are revealed that should be closed by future developments, like the usage of an upper body mass (UBM), the validation of the femur loads, injury risk functions for the cruciate knee ligaments and an appropriate certification method. A recent study on an additional upper body mass being applied for the first time to the Flex-GT is used as means of validation of recently proposed modified impact conditions. Therefore, two test series on a modern vehicle front using an impactor with and without upper body mass are compared. A test series with the Flex-GTR will be used to study both the comparability of the impact behavior of the GT and GTR built level as well as the consistency of test results. Recommendations for implementation within legislation on pedestrian protection are made.
Evaluation of the performance of competitive headforms as test tools for interior headform testing
(2009)
The European Research Project APROSYS has evaluated the interior headform test procedure developed by EEVC WG 13, representing the head contact in the car during a lateral impact. One important aspect within this test procedure was the selection of an appropriate impactor. The WG13 procedure currently uses the Free Motion Headform as used within the FMVSS 201. The ACEA 3.5 kg headform used in Phase 1 of the European Directive and the future European Regulation on Pedestrian Protection is still discussed as a possible alternative. This paper reports work performed by the Federal Highway Research Institute (BASt) as a part of the APROSYS Task 1.1.3. The study compares the two headform impactors according to FMVSS and ACEA, in a series of basic tests in order to evaluate their sensitivity towards different impact angles, impact accuracy, the effect of differences to impactors of the same type and the effects of the repeatability and reproducibility of the test results. The test surface consisted of a steel tube covered with PU foam and PVC, representing the car interior to be tested. Despite of the higher mass of the FMH the HIC values of this impactor were generally lower than those of the ACEA headform. The FMH showed a higher repeatability of test results but a high sensitivity on the angle of roll, the spherical ACEA impactor performed better with regards to the reproducibility. In case of the ACEA impactor-, the angle of roll had no influence.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance and accuracy of Event Data Recorders (EDRs). The analysis was based on J-NCAP crash tests from 2006"2007, with the corresponding EDR datasets. The pre-crash velocity, maximum delta-V and delta-V versus time history data recorded in the EDRs were compared with the reliable crash test data. The difference between the EDR pre-crash velocity and the laboratory test speed was less than 4 percent. In contrast, in several cases the maximum delta-V and delta-V versus time history data obtained from the EDRs showed uncertainty of measurement in comparisons with the reliable delta-V data. The difference in maximum delta-V in these comparisons was more than 5 percent in 10 of 14 tests and more than 10 percent in 4 of 14 tests. The EDRs underestimated the maximum delta-V in almost all tests. It was also concluded that the calculated acceleration from the EDR delta-V versus time history data showed good agreement with the instrumented accelerometer signal during the collision in almost all tests.
It has been pointed that most of the accidents on the roads are caused by driver faults, inattention and low performance. Therefore, future active safety systems are required to be aware of the driver status to be able to have preventative features. This probe study gives a system structure depending on multi-channel signal processing for three modules: Driver Identification, Route Recognition and Distraction Detection. The novelty lies in personalizing the route recognition and distraction detection systems according to particular driver with the help of driver identification system. The driver ID system also uses multiple modalities to verify the identity of the driver; therefore it can be applied to future smart cars working as car-keys. All the modules are tested using a separate data batch from the training sets using eight drivers" multi-channel driving signals, video and audio. The system was able to identify the driver with 100% accuracy using speech signals of length 30 sec or more and a frontal face image. After identifying the driver, the maneuver/ route recognition was achieved with 100% accuracy and the distraction detection had 72% accuracy in worst case. In overall, system is able to identify the driver, recognize the maneuver being performed at a particular time and able to detect driver distraction with reasonable accuracy.
Der Allgemeine Deutsche Automobil-Club e.V. (ADAC) und die Bundesanstalt für Straßenwesen (BASt) veranstalteten am 15. Oktober 2009 in Baden-Baden ihr 7. Symposium \"Sicher fahren in Europa\". Nach 1991, 1994, 1997, 2000, 2003 und zuletzt 2006 trafen sich auch dieses Mal wieder zahlreiche Fachleute aus Wissenschaft und Politik, Industrie, Wirtschaft und Verbänden aus dem In- und Ausland, trugen neue Forschungsergebnisse vor und erörterten aktuelle Ansätze zur Erhöhung der Verkehrssicherheit. Dabei ging es in den Referaten und Diskussionsbeiträgen und in den vier Workshops vor allem darum, die verkehrspolitischen Entwicklungen und Herausforderungen für die europäische Verkehrssicherheitsarbeit im Hinblick auf folgende Themen zu beleuchten: "Verkehrssicherheit Junger Fahrer", - Das "Auto der Zukunft", - "Demographischer Wandel", - "Landstraßensicherheit". Den Grundsatzreferaten folgten vertiefte Bearbeitungen in den Workshops. Die CD-ROM dokumentiert die Grußworte, Referate und Diskussionsbeiträge.
The need of passive safety devices, able to reduce the accidents and the severity of injuries suffered by motorcyclist, distinctly arises from data on accident statistics. In this paper, the effectiveness of an airbag device fitted in the biker- garments has been verified through various numerical simulations. Two simple test conditions were defined, in order to investigate the performance of the device both for back and front impacts, and simulated at various impact speeds. With the aim of providing more information about the actual capability of the airbag to reduce the severity of the injuries, one of accident scenario described by ISO 13232:2005 has been also investigated, checking the real effectiveness of the airbag strap-based firing system too. Confrontation of injury indexes resulting from simulation with and without airbag made possible a realistic evaluation of the harm reduction induced by the airbag presence.
Mit der EU-Verordnung Nummer 661/2009 zur Typgenehmigung und allgemeinen Sicherheit von Kraftfahrzeugen wird von der EU für schwere Nutzfahrzeuge der Einbau von Spurverlassenswarnsystemen und automatischen Notbremssystemen vorgeschrieben. Mit dem obligatorischen Einbau der Systeme wird eine Reduktion der Abkommens- und Auffahrunfälle von Nutzfahrzeugen aus den Klassen M2, M3, N2 und N3, die auf Grund der hohen Masse der Fahrzeuge folgenschwer sind, erwartet. Als Einführungsdaten werden der 1. November 2013 für neue Fahrzeugtypen und der 1. November 2015 für neue Fahrzeuge genannt. Leistungsanforderungen beziehungsweise technische Spezifikationen, denen die Systeme genügen müssen, liegen jedoch noch nicht vor. Diese werden derzeit von einer Expertengruppe auf UN-ECE-Ebene entwickelt. Dabei wird versucht, technologieneutrale Beschreibungen für die Ausgestaltung der Systeme zu erstellen, die gleichzeitig sowohl den gewünschten Nutzen für die Verkehrssicherheit garantieren, sich aber auch an der derzeit vorhandenen und realisierbaren Technologie orientieren. Darüber hinaus müssen die Systemkosten in einem vernünftigen Verhältnis zum Sicherheitsnutzen stehen. Ziel ist es, im Laufe des Jahres 2011 Vorschläge für die Legislative vorzulegen. Es wird über den Stand der Arbeiten, offene Fragestellungen, Herausforderungen bei der Ausgestaltung der technischen Anforderungen sowie sich abzeichnende Ergebnisse berichtet. Dabei sind die Arbeiten in Bezug auf Lane Departure Warning Systems (LDWS) bereits weiter fortgeschritten als zu Advanced Emergency Braking Systems (AEBS).
Die zukünftige Entwicklung der Straßenverkehrssicherheit und damit auch der Fahrzeugsicherheit wird durch gesellschaftliche, wirtschaftliche, klimapolitische und verkehrspolitische Rand- und Rahmenbedingungen und die voranschreitende technische Entwicklung geprägt sein, die auch für den Gesetzgeber eine Herausforderung darstellen. So wird sich auch das Folgeprogramm des Bundesministeriums für Verkehr, Bau und Stadtentwicklung (BMVBS) für das derzeitige aus dem Jahr 2001 stammende "Programm für mehr Sicherheit im Straßenverkehr" an den Schwerpunkten des "4th Road Safety Action Programme" ausrichten, das im Frühjahr 2010 durch die EU-Kommission veröffentlicht werden soll. Im Prozess zu einer weiteren Verbesserung der Straßenverkehrssicherheit werden unter anderem der demografische Wandel in unserer Gesellschaft, die durch eine erforderliche CO2-Reduktion bedingte Einführung alternativer Antriebe (Elektromobilität) verbunden mit Leichtbau sowie die gesetzlichen Rahmenbedingung (Wiener Abkommen) eine bedeutende Rolle spielen. Die Klärung der gesetzlichen Rahmenbedingungen ist unerlässlich, um die Vision vom unfallfreien Fahren Realität werden lassen zu können.
Over the past two decades the popularity of consumer crash test programs, commonly referred to as New Car Assessment Programs (NCAP), has grown across the world. They are popular among government regulators as they afford a means of promoting safety innovations and levels of vehicle performance beyond those dictated by national standards. They also fulfill the demand for information regarding the safety ranking of vehicles among consumers contemplating the purchase of a new vehicle. There is no question that consumer crash test programs greatly influence vehicle design changes as well as accelerate the fitment of new safety features. The extent to which these changes can be expected to reduce serious and potentially fatal injuries will be influenced by how well the testing protocols and associated rating schemes correctly reflect the nature of the residual safety problem they seek to address. Drawing on data contained primarily in the US National Automotive Sampling System (NASS), the field relevance of current and proposed testing and rating protocols addressing frontal crash test protection is examined. Emphasis is placed on examining how accurately injury rates computed from the dummy responses measured in consumer crash tests correspond to actual injury rates observed in the field. Additional data from Canadian field investigations and US databases such as the National Motor Vehicle Crash Causation Survey (NMVCCS) are examined to see how well frontal airbag firing times, crush pulse durations and other determinants of injury are replicated in consumer testing protocols. This portion of the analysis draws on data obtained from Event Data Recorders (EDR) in both field collisions and staged tests of the same vehicle model. Vehicle rankings and overall frontal crash test ratings were found to be particularly sensitive to the choice of injury risk functions employed in the test. This was particularly true in the case of injury risk functions used to assess neck injury potential. Neck injury risk derived from Nij was found to show the least agreement with the field. Agreement between field chest injury rates and those derived from crash tests was improved considerably when chest injury risk functions for "older" occupants were employed. The paper concludes with a discussion of how different current testing protocols could be improved to enhance their field relevance.
Females sustain Cervical Spine Distortion injury (CSD) more often than males. Most work dealing with the biomechanics background (e.g. injury mechanism/criteria) as well as the application in seat design/testing, focuses on the occupant model of an average male. Therefore the EU-Project ADSEAT (Adaptive Seat to Reduce Neck Injuries for Female and Male Occupants) is aimed at adding a female model for gender balanced research of CSD and improving seat design. An extensive literature review, searching for risk factors and injury criteria for males and females, was accompanied by the evaluation of different databases containing CSD cases. The database evaluations suggests that an anthropometry quite close to the 50%ile female anthropometry as known from crash test dummy design is appropriate. The results presented here form the basis for the future development of a computational female model and the improvement of seat design for better protection of both males and females in the frame of the ADSEAT-Project.
