Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit war es, Maßnahmen, die zur Beseitigung von Unfallhäufungen umgesetzt werden, im Hinblick auf ihre Effektivität und Effizienz zu analysieren. Es sollte insbesondere darauf eingegangen und aufgezeigt werden, dass längerfristige, umfangreichere straßenbauliche Maßnahmen zweckmäßig undwirkungsvoll zur Beseitigung von Unfallhäufungsstellen eingesetzt werden können. Gerade vor dem Hintergrund knapper öffentlicher Gelder und der wachsenden Bedeutung einer möglichst effektiven und effizienten Verwendung der Mittel ist die Wahl einer geeigneten Maßnahme zur Beseitigung einer Unfallhäufung bedeutend. Dazu wurde eine Beispielsammlung mit geeigneten Maßnahmen zur Bekämpfung von Unfallhäufungen entwickelt, in dem die Effizienz (auf der Basis von Nutzen/Kosten-Vergleichen) sowie die Effektivität (in Form der vermiedenen Unfallkosten und der Maßnahmenwirkung) für verschiedene Lösungen beispielhaft dargestellt werden. Jedes Beispiel wurde darüber hinaus zusammenfassend bewertet und untersucht, ob die Wirkung der Maßnahme wahrscheinlich signifikant ist. Die Ergebnisse wurden in Form einer Beispielsammlung praxisorientiert aufbereitet. Diese kann die Unfallkommissionen und/oder die politischen Entscheidungsträger unterstützen die Vor- und Nachteile einer geplanten Maßnahme abzuschätzen. Sie zeigt alternative Möglichkeiten auf und weist auf nur bedingt oder nicht geeignete Maßnahmen hin. Zusätzlich kann die Beispielsammlung für die Beurteilung von Sicherheitsdefiziten von Sicherheitsauditoren für Straßen angewendet werden. Sie steht zum Download zur Verfügung. Für die Erhebung der Daten wurden bundesweit 65 Unfallkommissionen kontaktiert und 110 Unfallhäufungen ausgewählt, die in der Beispielsammlung dargestellt sind. Resümierend kann festgehalten werden, dass bauliche Maßnahmen im Schnitt eine höhere Maßnahmenwirkung besitzen, eine größere Anzahl von Unfällen (und Unfällen mit Personenschaden) reduzieren, höhere Unfallkosten vermeiden und in ihrer Wirkung signifikanter sind. Bauliche Maßnahmen können in den meisten Fällen effizient eingesetzt werden, weisen jedoch aufgrund ihrer hohen Baukosten in der Regel ein geringeres Nutzen/Kosten-Verhältnis als verkehrstechnische Maßnahmen auf.
The focus of the technical innovation in the automobile industry is currently changing to sensor based safety systems, which are operating in the pre-crash phase of an accident. To get more information about this pre-crash phase for real accidents a simulation of this phase using the GIDAS database is done. The basics for this simulation are geometrical information about the accident location and the exact accident data out of the GIDAS database. This aggregated information gives the possibility to simulate an exact motion for every accident participant, using MATLAB / SIMULINK, in the pre-crash phase. After the simulation the information about the geometrical positions, the velocities and maneuvers of the drivers to an individual TTC (time to collision) are available. With those results it is possible to develop new useful sensor geometries using pre-crash scatter plots or estimate the efficiency of implemented active safety systems in combination with sensor characteristics. This simulation can be done for every reconstructed accident included in the GIDAS database, so these results can represent a wide spread basis for the further development of active safety systems and sensor geometries and characteristics
The head impact of pedestrians in the windscreen area shows a high relevance in real-world accidents. Nevertheless, there are neither biomechanical limits nor elaborated testing procedures available. Furthermore, the development of deployable protection systems like pop-up bonnets or external airbags has made faster progress than the corresponding testing methods. New requirements which are currently not considered are taken into account within a research project of BASt and the EC funded APROSYS (Advanced PROtection SYStems) integrated project relating to passive pedestrian protection. Testing procedures for head impact in the windscreen area should address these new boundary conditions. The presented modular procedure combines the advantages of virtual testing, including full-scale multi-body and finite element simulations, as well as hardware testing containing impactor tests based on the existing procedures of EEVC WG 17. To meet the efforts of harmonization in legislation, it refers to the Global Technical Regulation of UNECE (GTR No. 9). The basis for this combined hardware and virtual testing procedure is a robust categorization covering all passenger cars and light commercial vehicles and defining the testing zone including the related kinematics. The virtual testing part supports also the choice of the impact points for the hardware test and determines head impact timing for testing deployable systems. The assessment of the neck rotation angle and sharp edge contact in the rear gap of pop-up bonnets is included. For the demonstration of this procedure, a hardware sedan shaped vehicle was modified by integrating an airbag system. In addition, tests with the Honda Polar-II Dummy were performed for an evaluation of the new testing procedure. Comparing these results, it was concluded that a combination of simulation and updated subsystem tests forms an important step towards enhanced future pedestrian safety systems considering the windscreen area and the deployable systems.
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.
In an on-going project since 2005, ADAC has been analyzing accidents documented by the ADAC air rescue service. The knowledge derived from real-life accidents serves as a basis for new test configurations and assessment criteria. In 2007, ADAC began looking into the feasibility of international data collection. The idea of Global Accident Prevention was born. Three European partner clubs have begun pioneering the project (ÖAMTC, ANWB, and RACC). The aim is to set up an international accident research network to provide a steady stream of information on road accidents. The FIA Foundation supports ADAC in developing and coordinating this initiative.
