  2. 11. On design of complex safety critical automotive systems : a semi-automated approach for balancing profit and safety

    Author : Christian Grante; Matthew Cartmell; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : Design processes for complex safety-critical systems in the automotive industry need to evolve in order to address increasing demands for integration of car functions over common networked infrastructures. New processes must address cost and safety concerns, and at the same time maximize profit. READ MORE

  4. 12. Analyzing real-world data to promote development of active safety systems that reduce car-to-vulnerable road user accidents

    Author : Azra Habibovic; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Accident prevention; Naturalistic observation; Causation analysis; Active safety system; Vulnerable road user VRU ; Driver behavior; Functional requirements; Statistical analysis; VRU behavior;

    Abstract : The overall objective of the thesis is to explore various types of real-world road traffic data and to assess the extent to which they can inform the design of active safety systems that aim to prevent car-to-vulnerable road user (VRU) accidents. A combined analysis of in-depth and police reported accident data provided information on driver behavior and contextual variables, which is valuable for the development of active safety systems.

  5. 13. Structural Safety Design for Real-World Situations - Using Computer Aided Engineering for Robust Passenger Car Crashworthiness

    Author : Linus Wågström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; structural adaptivity; passive safety; small overlap crashes; crash compatibility; frontal crashes; structural robustness; crash simulation;

    Abstract : Road traffic continues to cause more than a million fatalities worldwide every year. Although many steps have been taken to improve occupant protection in car crashes, challenges still remain for car designers. READ MORE

  6. 14. Safety Evaluation Using Counterfactual Simulations: The use of computational driver behavior models in crash avoidance systems and virtual simulations with optimal subsampling

    Author : Xiaomi Yang; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; conflict and crash avoidance; safety assessment; active sampling; Advanced Driver Assistance Systems; Automated Driving Systems; counterfactual simulation; scenario generation; car-to-VRU;

    Abstract : Traffic safety is a problem worldwide. In-vehicle conflict and crash avoidance systems have been under development and assessment for some time, as integral parts of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Automated Driving Systems (ADS). READ MORE

  7. 15. Multi-Functional Composite Design Concepts for Rail Vehicle Car Bodies

    Author : David Wennberg; Sebastian Stichel; Per Wennhage; Thilo Bein; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Car body; Composite; Finite element; Lightweight; Multi-discipline; Multi-functional; Optimisation; Rail Vehicles; Sandwich Panels;

    Abstract : Structures and material combinations, tailored for multiple purposes, are within the reach of vehicle manufacturers. Besides reducing the environmental impact of the transportation sector these multi-functional structures can reduce costs, such as development, manufacturing and maintenance, and at the same time offer improved comfort to the passengers.
