Integrated evasive manoeuvre assist for collision mitigation with oncoming vehicles

An integrated development process for automated or driver- assist vehicles

We describe the methodology, tools and technologies for designing and implementing communication and control systems for networked automated or driver assist vehicles. In addressing design, we discuss enabling methodologies and our suite of enabling computational tools for formal modeling, simulation, and implementation. We illustrate our description with design, development and implementation ...

Analysing Evasive Manoeuvre Effectiveness in Helicopter Survivability Simulation

Speed kills: ineffective avian escape responses to oncoming vehicles.

Animal-vehicle collisions cause high levels of vertebrate mortality worldwide, and what goes wrong when animals fail to escape and ultimately collide with vehicles is not well understood. We investigated alert and escape behaviours of captive brown-headed cowbirds (Molothrus ater) in response to virtual vehicle approaches of different sizes and at speeds ranging from 60 to 360 km h(-1). Alert a...

Animal reactions to oncoming vehicles: a conceptual review.

Animal-vehicle collisions (AVCs) are a substantial problem in a human-dominated world, but little is known about what goes wrong, from the animal's perspective, when a collision occurs with an automobile, boat, or aircraft. Our goal is to provide insight into reactions of animals to oncoming vehicles when collisions might be imminent. Avoiding a collision requires successful vehicle detection, ...
