Die Europäischen Normen für Erdarbeiten werden im CEN/TC 396 "Earthworks" erarbeitet. Das Sekretariat des CEN/TC 396 wird vom französischen Normungsinstitut AFNOR gehalten. Die Normungsarbeit wird im DIN-Ausschuss NA 005-05-22 AA "Erdarbeiten (SpA zu CEN/TC 396), Gemeinschaftsausschuss mit FGSV GA 5.01" gespiegelt. Vertreter des Spiegelausschusses arbeiten in den verschiedenen Arbeitsgruppen (Working Groups (WG)) des CEN/TC 396 mit. In den Jahren 2009 und 2010 wurden die Gremien konstituiert und mit der Normungsarbeit begonnen, zunächst überwiegend durch die Zusammenstellung der vorhandenen Regelungen in den Mitgliedsstaaten (siehe auch Beitrag Vogel/Leister/Heyer zur Erd- und Grundbautagung 2013). Im November 2014 wurden vom CEN/TC 396 die Arbeitsaufträge ("work items") offiziell gestartet.

In most of developed countries, the progress made in passive safety during the last three decades allowed to drastically reduce the number of killed and severely injured especially for occupants of passenger cars. This reduction is mainly observed for frontal impacts for which the AIS3+ injuries has been reduced about 52% for drivers and 38% for front passengers. The stiffening of the cars' structure coupled with the generalization of airbags and the improvement of the seatbelt restraint (load limiter, pretension, etc.) allowed to protect vital body regions such as head, neck and thorax. However, the abdomen did not take advantage with so much success of this progress. The objective of this study is to draw up an inventory on the abdominal injuries of the belted car occupants involved in frontal impact, to present adapted counter-measures and to assess their potential effectiveness. In the first part the stakes corresponding to the abdominal injuries will be defined according to types of impact, seat location, occupants' age and type of injured organs. Then, we shall focus on the abdominal injury risk curves for adults involved in frontal impact and on the comparisons of the average risks according to the seat location. In the second part we will list counter-measures and we shall calculate their effectiveness. The method of case control will be used in order to estimate odds ratio, comparing two samples, given by occupants having or not having the studied safety system. For this study, two type of data sources are used: national road injured accident census and retrospective in-depth accident data collection. Abdominal injuries are mainly observed in frontal impact (52%). Fatal or severe abdominal occupant- injuries are observed at least in 27% of cases, ranking this body region as the most injured just after the thorax (51%). In spite of a twice lower occupation rate in the back seats compared to the front seats, the number of persons sustaining abdominal injuries at the rear place is higher than in the front place. In recent cars, the risk of having a serious or fatal abdominal injury in a frontal impact is 1.6% for the driver, 3.6% for the front passenger and 6.3% for the rear occupants. The most frequently hurt organs are the small intestine (17%), the spleen (16%) and the liver (13%). The most common countermeasures have a good efficiency in the reduction of the abdominal injuries for the adults: the stiffness of the structure of the seats allows decreasing the abdominal injury risk from 54% (driver) to 60% (front occupant), the seatbelt pretensioners decrease also this risk from 90% (driver) to 83% (front passenger).
Rollovers continue to be a major source of heavy truck fatalities when compared to other accident modes. Real world rollover accidents are analyzed and two distinct damage patterns are identified. Damage to heavy truck roofs can occur from lateral loading that transitions to vertical roof loading as the vehicle rolls onto its side and then over onto its roof. A second load path can occur when the vehicle has rolled onto its side and furrows into the ground generating large longitudinal friction forces between the roof and ground. A review of the previous literature and various test methodologies are presented. A sled impact test methodology is presented which allows for structural assessment of a heavy truck cab's crashworthiness in both of these loading environments. Two test series are presented using the sled impact test methodology in order to analyze real world truck rollovers using varying impact platen and contact angles. The structural deformation and failure patterns were found to be consistent with damage seen in real world accident vehicles. In each case, a second equivalent truck cab was then reinforced and tested under similar conditions to evaluate the energy management and crush resistance of a stronger cab structure. These structural reinforcements demonstrated a substantial reduction in roof crush and protected the survival space of the occupant compartment. The sled impact test procedure is an effective method for testing the structural performance of a heavy truck cab in a variety of loading scenarios comparable to real world accidents and ascertaining the load and energy load levels in these accident modes.
Diese Studie erfolgte als eine erste Prüfung der Frage, ob 0,1 Promille als Sicherheitszuschlag für eine Bestimmung eines Blutalkoholwertes von 0,1 Promille aus Gründen der Messunsicherheit angebracht und ausreichend ist. Beides trifft zu. Obwohl zur Zeit der Studie noch nicht bei oder unter 0,2 Promille kalibriert wurde, bestimmten alle Labors eine Blutalkoholkonzentration von 0,08 Promille mit einem Wert unter 0,18 g/L (Cmax ADH: 0,15 g/L = CmaxGC: 0,15 g/L = Blutalkoholkonzentration (BAK) von 0,12 Promille). Es bestand kein Bias zwischen beiden Verfahren. Festgestellte Standabweichungen: ADH: 0,021 g/L, GC: 0,025 g/L. Ein Sicherheitszuschlag von 0,1 Promille auf 0,1 Promille umfasst demnach vier Standardabweichungen und bietet für die neue Regelung im Paragrafen 24 Straßenverkehrsgesetz (StVG) bei der richtliniengemäß ausgeführten forensischen Blutalkoholbestimmung genügend Analysensicherheit.
Der Beitrag setzt sich mit folgenden Fragestellungen auseinander: 1. Stellen ältere Kraftfahrer ein Sicherheitsrisiko für den Straßenverkehr dar? 2. Wie wurden diese Frage und die "Fahreignung und Fahrtüchtigkeit älterer Kraftfahrer" in den vergangenen 50 Jahren wissenschaftlich bewertet - insbesondere bei Kongressen der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Verkehrsmedizin und den Deutschen Verkehrsgerichtstagen? 3. Wie haben in den vergangenen 50 Jahren Juristen, Behörden und Gesetzgeber die "Fahreignung älterer Kraftfahrer" gesehen und umgesetzt? 4. Werden morbiditäts- und altersbedingte Beeinträchtigungen der Leistungsfähigkeit rechtzeitig und richtig durch ältere Kraftfahrer erkannt? 5. Wie gehen ältere Kraftfahrer mit erkannten Leistungsmängeln um? 6. Benötigen ältere Verkehrsteilnehmer Aufklärung, Beratung, Fortbildung und Vorsorge- oder Kontrolluntersuchungen? Insgesamt kann festgestellt werden, dass allein aus normalem Altersabbau und hohem Alter kein Rückschluss auf die Fahruntauglichkeit gezogen werden kann. Das wichtigste gesellschaftliche Ziel für die Teilnahme älterer Menschen am Straßenverkehr ist - angesichts der demographischen Entwicklung - die Einsichtsfähigkeit in das altersbedingt verminderte Leistungsvermögen und den Veränderungswillen zu Kompensationsmechanismen bei älteren Verkehrsteilnehmern zu schärfen. Der behandelnde Arzt, Angehörige und sonstige Bezugspersonen sollten alles tun, um den bejahrten Kraftfahrer zu motivieren, sich seiner Selbstverantwortung bewusst zu werden und demgemäß zu handeln.
Data concerning accidents involving personal injury which have been collected in the context of in-depth investigations on scene in the Hannover area since 1973 and in the Dresden area since 1999 represent an important basis for empirical traffic safety research. At national and international level various analyses and comparisons are carried out on the basis of "in-depth data" from the above mentioned investigations. In-depth data play a decisive role e.g. within the validation of EuroNCAP results on secondary safety (crashworthiness) of individual passenger car models. Thus, statistically sound methods of data analysis and population parameter estimation are of high importance. Since the 1st of August 1984 the "in-depth investigations on scene" in the Hannover area have been carried out according to a sampling plan developed by HAUTZINGER in the context of a research project on behalf of BASt. In the meantime a second region of in-depth investigation on scene was added with surveys in Dresden and the surrounding area. Internationally, the acronym GIDAS (German In-Depth Accident Study) is commonly used for the two above mentioned surveys. The objective of a current research project (topic of this contribution) is, among other things, to examine and adjust the previous weighting and expansion method for the two regional accident investigations to the current general conditions.
Empirical vehicle crashworthiness studies are usually based on national or in-depth traffic accident surveys: Data on accident-involved cars/drivers are analysed in order to quantify the chance of driver injury and to assess certain risk factors like car make and model. As the cars/drivers involved in the same accident form a "cluster", where the size of the cluster equals the number of accident-involved parties, traffic accident survey data are typical multi-level data with accidents as first-level or primary and cars/drivers as secondlevel or secondary units (car occupants in general are to be considered as third level units). Consequently, appropriate statistical multi-level models are to be used for driver injury risk estimation purposes as these models properly account for the cluster structure of traffic accident survey data. In recent years various types of regression models for clustered data have been developed in the statistical sciences. This paper presents multi-level statistical models, which are generally applicable for vehicle crashworthiness assessment in the sense that data on single and multiple car crashes can be analysed simultaneously. As a special case of multi-level modelling driver injury risk estimation based on paired-by-collision car/driver data is considered. It is demonstrated that assessment results may be seriously biased, if the cluster structure inherent in traffic accident survey data is erroneously ignored in the data analysis stage.
Crash involvement studies using routine accident and exposure data : a case for case-control designs
(2009)
Fortunately, accident involvement is a rare event: the chance of an individual road user trip to end up in a crash is close to zero. Thus, according to general epidemiological principles one can expect the case-control study design to be especially suitable for quantifying the relative risk (odds ratio) of accident involvement of road users with a certain risk factor as compared to road users that do not have this characteristic. Ideally, of course, the database for such a case-control study should be established by drawing two independent random samples of cases (accidental units) and controls (nonaccidental units), respectively. If, however, special data collection is not an option, it is nevertheless possible to analyze routine accident and exposure data under a case-control design in order to fully exploit the information contained in already existing databases. As a prerequisite, accident and exposure data from different sources are to be combined in a single file of micro or grouped data in a way consistent with the case-control study design. Among other things, the proposed methodological approach offers the possibility to use in-depth data of the GIDAS type also in investigations of active vehicle safety by combining this data with appropriate vehicle trip data collected in mobility surveys.
The so-called "seat-belt injuries" or "seat-belt syndromes", described as 2-point seat-belt injuries, contain heavy inflection injuries of the lumbal spinal column, combined with heavy abdominal injuries as rupture of the upper intestinal bold or heavy injuries of the upper entrails. With "playing" children in the font of the car, with inappropriate plant of 3-point belts, identical injuries can occur.
