Powered two-wheeler crash scenario development

Powered two-wheeler drivers' crash risk associated with the use of bus lanes.

CONTEXT Authorizing powered two-wheeler drivers to drive in lanes reserved to buses is a measure that is sometimes mentioned to improve mobility conditions for these users. But what effect would this measure have on the safety of these users and on the safety of the other users with whom they share the traffic space? OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to contribute elements to help answ...

Influence of the Minimum Swerving Distance on the Development of Powered Two Wheeler Active Braking

Among driver assistance systems recently applied to PTWs (ABS, CBS, etc.), the autonomous braking without input from the rider, named Active Braking (AB), is one of the most promising safety functions. The potential benefits of the AB are encouraging, although the improper activation of the AB is dangerous for the rider. Therefore the triggering must occur only when the vehicle is in stability ...

Powered two-wheeler drivers' risk of hitting a pedestrian in towns.

INTRODUCTION The risk of collision between pedestrians and powered two-wheelers is poorly understood today. The objective of this research is to determine the risk for powered two-wheeler drivers of hitting and injuring a pedestrian per kilometer driven in towns and to compare this risk with that run by four-wheeled vehicle drivers. METHOD Using the bodily injury accidents recorded by the pol...

Crash Hedging Strategies and Worst–Case Scenario Portfolio Optimization

Crash hedging strategies are derived as solutions of non–linear differential equations which itself are consequences of an equilibrium strategy which make the investor indifferent to uncertain (down) jumps. This is done in the situation where the investor has a logarithmic utility and where the market coefficients after a possible crash may change. It is scrutinized when and in which sense the ...
