Zunehmender Verkehr, Schädigungsprozesse sowie neue Bemessungsnormen bedingen in letzter Zeit vermehrt eine Nachrechnung von bestehenden Brückenbauwerken. Die derzeit auf Basis der Nachrechnungsrichtlinie oder der DIN-Fachberichte durchgeführten Nachrechnungen von Bestandsbrücken zeigen häufig rechnerische Defizite. Um diese Defizite auszugleichen, ermöglicht die Nachrechnungsrichtlinie u.a. die weitere verkehrliche Nutzung durch kompensierende Überwachungsmaßnahmen abzusichern. Eine Bewertung einer Monitoringmaßnahme im Sinne einer Kompensation bzw. die explizite Quantifizierung des Sicherheitsgewinns im Sinne der Sicherheitstheorie wird aufgrund fehlender Ansätze derzeit häufig nicht oder nur stark vereinfacht vorgenommen. Im Rahmen des Projektes wurden Ansätze zur Quantifzierung des Sicherheitsgewinns durch kompensierende Monitoringmaßnahmen auf der Basis der Wahrscheinlichkeitstheorie entwickelt. In Abhängigkeit der Maßnahme (Schwellwertüberwachung oder Einwirkungsüberwachung) sowie dessen Versagenswahrscheinlichkeit wurden dabei reduzierte Teilsicherheitsbeiwerte bestimmt. Darüber hinaus wurden für typische Defizite von Betonbestandsbrücken geeignete Monitoringkonzepte einschließlich Sensorik vorgeschlagen und diskutiert. Zur Erprobung der Methodik einer kompensierenden Monitoringmaßnahme wurde eine kompensierende Schwellwertüberwachung an der vierspurigen Hochstraße Gifhorn realisiert. Das gewählte Überwachungskonzept umfasste das einer kontinuierlichen Schwellwertüberwachung in Kombination mit intermittierenden Probebelastungen. Hierbei wurde ein primäres permanentes, statisches Messsystem aus 18 Schwingsaitensensoren temporär durch ein sekundäres, dynamisches Messsystem aus 12 induktiven Wegaufnehmern ergänzt. Nach einer Kalibrierung des FE-Modells mithilfe von Messergebnissen der ersten Probebelastung unter definierter Belastung wurden sowohl absolute als auch relative Schwellwerte für die Messwerte der Schwingsaitenaufnehmer festgelegt und getestet.
Die Zielsetzung der Arbeit bestand darin, Erkenntnisse über das "Dunkelfeld" beziehungsweise die "Unfalldunkelziffer" der amtlichen Straßenverkehrsunfallstatistik in Deutschland zu gewinnen. Dazu wurde eine Datenerhebung in einem begrenzten Gebiet durchgeführt. Die Untersuchung sollte Hinweise ermöglichen über die Größe der Unfalldunkelziffer in Abhängigkeit von bestimmten Unfallmerkmalen sowie über die Struktur des Dunkelfeldes im Vergleich zur amtlichen Statistik. Als unterer Grenzwert für die Unfalldunkelziffer in der Pilotstudie wird ein Wert von 44 % angesehen. Die Untersuchung zeigt eine deutliche Abhängigkeit der Dunkelziffer von der Unfallschwere. Die Dunkelziffer liegt geringer bei Unfällen mit "ungeschützten" Unfallobjekten (Unfälle mit Fußgängern und Zweiradfahrern). Der Erfassungsgrad für Nachtunfälle ist größer als für Tagunfälle. Die Untersuchungsergebnisse zeigen insgesamt, dass die Struktur der amtlichen Statistik deutlich von der Struktur des Dunkelfeldes abweicht. Es wird die begründete Annahme ausgesprochen, dass die amtliche Verkehrsunfallstatistik unvollständig ist, wobei der Erfassungsgrad nicht einheitlich ist, sondern von verschiedenen Merkmalen (Unfallschwere, Unfallart, etc.) abhängt.
Sedan type vehicles in which adult rear seat passengers were present and which were involved in frontal collisions were investigated, and the influence of unbelted rear seat passengers on the injuries of front seat occupants was studied. Unbelted rear seat passengers move forward during impact. It was observed that there were not only cases in which front seat occupants sustained injuries caused by direct contact with rear seat passengers, but also cases where front seat occupants received severe injuries due to additional force from rear seat passengers, either impacting directly or indirectly as a result of deformation of the front seat. Severe injuries of front seat occupants were observed in the latter cases. This research validates the importance of seat-belt use for rear seat passengers, not only to protect themselves but also to mitigate injuries of front seat occupants.
Motorcycle safety research
(2007)
Honda- global motorcycle sales exceeded the 10 million units mark since 2004, and further expansion is expected. As a responsibility for a company to provide mobility, Honda is focusing on motorcycle safety as top priority and has been working on various activities for both aspects of hardware and software. Here, we present Honda- activity for the safety technology of motorcycles. At present, Honda is promoting motorcycle safety in the four themes of prevention and collision safety such as safety education, recognition assistance, accident prevention and injury reduction. First, in the area of the safety education, the "Honda Safety Driving Promotion Center" was established in 1970, and motorcycle riders and vehicle driver trainings have been organized, and the traffic training centers are used as an actual practice field not only in Japan but also in many other regions in the world. Through our training activities, the new area of safety training with hardware assistance was developed and Honda- unique technology was accumulated such as the riding simulator which can provide experience of potentially dangerous situations without risk. Especially, the "riding trainer", the popular version of the riding simulator, was introduced at several motor shows in various countries and launched in September 2005. It was distributed first in Europe and is expected to expand globally aiming at 3000 units worldwide.. And in Europe, the newest version, which includes the suburban roads program, jointly developed with ADAC, will be released in near future. In the area of recognition assistance, "vehicle to vehicle communication technology" is under development using the advantage of being a manufacturer of both motorcycles and cars. This technology is under research as Honda "ASV-3" in Japan, and as part of C2C activity in Europe. As for the accident prevention, advanced brake systems for motorcycles to assist more effective brake operation have been expanded, Honda signed the European Road Safety Charter in April 2004 with the advanced brake systems commitment and furthermore, they are expanding according to vehicle characteristics and region. Then all models above 250 cc will have a version of the system by 2010. And as the last theme, "motorcycle airbag system" is introduced which is equipped on a mass production motorcycle for the first time in the world. It has been researched and developed for a long time as an injury reduction technology for collision accidents. Honda automobile technology was used for the research and development of the motorcycle airbag, and many specific issues such as the analysis of the collision conditions particular to motorcycles have been solved to realize today- success. It might be known that ADAC in-house crash test held in August this year confirmed the high effectiveness of the airbag system and showed a positive result. This motorcycle airbag system is equipped to the Honda Gold Wing and launched in North America in August, 2006. Also in Europe, it will be sold by the end of this year. Each theme of Honda motorcycle safety technology can be seen at the Honda booth.
Small overlap frontal crashes are defined by a damage pattern with most of the vehicle deformation concentrated outboard of the main longitudinal structures. These crashes are prominent among frontal crashes resulting in serious and fatal injuries, even among vehicles that perform well in regulatory and consumer information crash tests. One of the critical aspects of understanding these crashes is knowing the crash speeds that cause the types of damage associated with serious injuries. Laboratory crash tests were conducted using 12 vehicles in three small overlap test conditions: pole, vehicle-to-vehicle collinear, and vehicle-to-vehicle oblique (15-degree striking angle). Field reconstruction techniques were used to estimate the delta V for each vehicle, and these results were compared with actual delta V values based on vehicle accelerometer data. Estimated delta Vs were 50% lower than actual values. Velocity change estimates for small overlap frontal crashes in databases such as NASS-CDS significantly underestimate actual values.
Ziel des Vorhabens war es, ausgehend von dem für XF4-Betone anerkannten CDF-Prüfverfahren ein Laborprüfverfahren zu entwickeln, das einen abgeschwächten Frost-Tausalzangriff gemäß XF2-Exposition erzeugt und eine Beurteilung des Frost-Tausalzwiderstandes bei mäßiger Sättigung zulässt. Die am IBPM der Universität Duisburg-Essen durchgeführten Laborergebnisse verdeutlichen, dass eine Beurteilung des Widerstandes gegenüber einer XF2-Exposition über die Einstellung eines mäßigeren Feuchtegehaltes beziehungsweise Sättigungsgrades nicht eindeutig möglich ist. Dagegen ergab die Kombination der drei Prüfparameter - Minimaltemperatur "10-°C, 3%ige NaCl-Lösung und 14 FTW Prüfdauer - eine geeignete Abschwächung des CDF-Prüfverfahrens auf die Erfordernisse von XF2-Mischungen. Aufgrund der geringen Datenmenge ließ sich jedoch noch kein allgemein gültiger Grenzwert als Abnahmekriterium festlegen. Im Rahmen der Untersuchungen am cbm der TU München wurden Betone, die aufgrund ihrer Zusammensetzung für die Klassen XF4 und XF2 beziehungsweise für geringere Klassen als XF2 geeignet sind, sowohl durch Untersuchungen im Labor als auch durch Auslagerungsversuche beurteilt. Anhand der durch Auslagerung ermittelten Feuchtedaten wird deutlich, dass die Schädigung über die verschiedenen Winterperioden kumulativ zu sehen ist und nicht aus einer zunehmenden Sättigung des gesamten Probekörpers über mehrere Winter hinweg resultiert. Die Schädigung ist die Folge einer lokalen Übersättigung der äußersten Randzone, die jedoch weder durch Wägung des gesamten Probekörpers noch durch Messungen mit der Multiringelektrode erfassen werden konnte. Die Aufsättigung des Zementsteingefüges erfolgt bei Außenbauteilen aufgrund sich ändernder thermischer Randbedingungen und des damit verbundenen dynamischen Prozesses scheinbar in einer geringeren Schichtdicke als beim CDF-Verfahren. Folglich entstehen in der Praxis trotz vergleichbarer Anzahl an Frost-Tau-Wechseln geringere Schädigungen. Unabhängig davon erwies sich die Korrelation der Schädigung im Labortest und in der Praxis als sehr gut. Der modifizierte CDF-Test mit einer reduzierten Prüfdauer von 14 Frost-Tau-Wechseln und einer Minimaltemperatur von "10-°C spiegelt das Verhalten von XF2 Betonen praxisgerecht wieder.
This work aimed for getting the main features of accidents involving Light Goods Vehicles (LGV), using accident cases collected in the In-Depth Accidents Studies built up at IFSTTAR-LMA (France), in order to analyse thoroughly the proceedings of these accidents and identify the major factors for the different types of LGV. This work was based on the analysis of 88 accident cases involving LGV with a Maximum Authorised Mass inferior to 3.5 tonnes. In particular kinematics reconstruction of these accidents were performed to calculate the average impact speeds and to better understand the compatibility problems between LGV and antagonist vehicles. Specific features have been reviewed to pick up problems concerning safety, maintenance, loading, LGV design: general conditions of the accident, vehicle features, and passive safety. The main results of this study are presented in this paper.
Detailed investigations and reconstructions of real accidents involving vulnerable road users
(2005)
The aim of this research is to improve knowledge about vulnerable road users accidents and more specifically pedestrians or cyclists. This work has been based on a complete analysis of real accidents. From accidents chosen from an in-depth multidisciplinary investigation (psychology, technical, medical), we have tried to identify the configuration of the impact: car speed, pedestrian or cyclist orientations. Then, we have made a numerical modelling of the same configuration with a multibody software. In particular, we have reproduced the anthropometry of the victim and the front shape of the car. A first simulation has been performed on this starting configuration. Next, effects of some parameters such as car velocity or victim position at impact have been numerically studied in order to find the best correlations with all indications produced by the in-depth analysis. Finally, the retained configuration was close to the presumed real accident conditions because it reproduces in particular the same impact points on the car, the same injuries, and is according to the driver statement. This double approach associating an in-depth accident analysis and a numerical simulation has been applied on pedestrian-to-car and bicyclist-tocar accidents. It has allowed us to better understand the real kinematics of such impacts. Even if this method is based on a case to case study, it underlines which parameters are relevant on a vulnerable road user accident investigation and reconstruction.
The term test procedure refers to a method that describes how a system has to be tested to identify and assess specific behavior or properties by experiments. This also includes the specification of required tools, equipment, boundary conditions, and evaluation methods. Test procedures are an essential tool to check whether desired product properties are present, which of course also applies to the development of driver assistance systems. In addition to development and release testing that mainly is performed by the vehicle or system manufacturer, there are tests with the purpose of an independent product testing that are conducted by external test organizations. These tests are needed for vehicle type approval (for admission to a specific market), in the context of applying the standard for functional safety (in both cases mainly executed by technical services (being accredited as certification laboratory)) or for customer information purposes (by a test institute for consumer protection). The focus of this chapter is these "external" test methods. After a taxonomy of test procedures, the differences between legislation (type approval) and consumer testing are highlighted. Typical tests and the associated test setup, tools, and assessment criteria are discussed, and an outlook toward testing in the near and mid-future is given.
PROSPECT (Proactive Safety for Pedestrians and Cyclists) is a collaborative research project involving most of the relevant partners from the automotive industry (including important active safety vehicle manufacturers and tier-1 suppliers) as well as academia and independent test labs, funded by the European Commission in the Horizon 2020 research program. PROSPECT's primary goal is the development of novel active safety functions, to be finally demonstrated to the public in three prototype vehicles. A sound benefit assessment of the prototype vehicle's functionality requires a broad testing methodology which goes beyond what has currently been used. Since PROSPECT functions are developed to prevent accidents in intersections, a key aspect of the test methodology is the reproduction of natural driving styles on the test track with driving robots. For this task, data from a real driving study with subjects in a suburb of Munich, Germany was used. Further data from Barcelona will be available soon. The data suggests that intersection crossing can be broken down into five phases, two phases with straight deceleration / acceleration, one phase with constant radius and speed turning, and two phases where the bend is imitated or ended. In these latter phases, drivers mostly combine lateral and longitudinal accelerations and drive what is called a clothoid, a curve with curvature proportional to distance travelled, in order to change lateral acceleration smoothly rather than abrupt. The data suggests that the main parameter of the clothoid, the ratio distance travelled to curvature, is mostly constant during the intersections. This parameter together with decelerations and speeds allows the generation of synthetic robot program files for a reproduction of natural driving styles using robots, allowing a much greater reproducibility than what is possible with human test drivers. First tests show that in principle it is possible to use the driving robots for vehicle control in that manner; a challenge currently is the control performance of the robot system in terms of speed control, but it is anticipated that this problem will be solved soon. Further elements of the PROSPECT test methodology are a standard intersection marking to be implemented on the test track which allows the efficient testing of all PROSPECT test cases, standard mobile and light obstruction elements for quick reproduction of obstructions of view, and a concept for tests in realistic surroundings. First tests using the PROSPECT test methodology will be conducted over the summer 2017, and final tests of the prototype vehicles developed within PROSPECT will be conducted in early 2018
