  2. 1. Passenger kinematics in evasive maneuvers

    Author : Emma Larsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; volunteer kinematics; Active Human Body Model; pre-crash; active muscles; occupant variability; evasive maneuvers;

    Abstract : In situations that might lead to a vehicle crash, drivers often perform an evasive maneuver, such as braking or steering, in an attempt to avoid a crash. If a crash was not avoided, the maneuver could influence the injury outcome by altering the occupant’s position. READ MORE

  4. 2. Postural and Muscular Responses of Car Occupants under Pre-Crash Conditions

    Author : Ghazaleh Ghaffari; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; EMG; vehicle occupant kinematics; pre-crash; evasive maneuvers; lane change; human body model; pre‐pretensioner belt; principal component analysis; linear mixed model;

    Abstract : Advanced integrated safety technologies in modern cars such as collision avoidance intervention and pre-crash activated restraint systems require comprehensive research on how vehicle occupants respond to these systems. The aim of this thesis is to provide insights into car passengers’ body kinematics and muscle activations in representative pre-crash circumstances with respect to two belt configurations (i.

  5. 3. Decision-Making in Automotive Collision Avoidance Systems

    Author : Mattias Brännström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; decision-making; collision avoidance; active safety; threat assessment; driver modeling;

    Abstract : This thesis is concerned with decision-making in systems that can detect hazardous traffic situations and assist drivers in avoiding collisions by using automatic braking or steering. The aim with these systems is to reduce the number of accidents and their consequences without disturbing the driver with unnecessary interventions during normal traffic conditions. READ MORE

  6. 4. On Robust Steering Based Lateral Control of Longer and Heavier Commercial Vehicles

    Author : Maliheh Sadeghi Kati; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Rearward Amplification; static output feedback; Commercial vehicles; LMI-based H ∞ synthesis; Dynamic Feed-forward; Robust Control;

    Abstract : Rapid growth in the transportation of goods has led to raised concerns about environmental effects, road freight traffic, and increased infrastructure usage. The increasing cost of fuel, and issues with congestions and gas emissions, make longer and heavier commercial vehicles (LHCVs) an attractive alter- native to conventional heavy vehicles. READ MORE
