Crash Visualization Using Real - World Acceleration Data

Vehicle crash-event data recorders associated with inflatable occupant restraint systems, Mayday systems, and Automatic Crash Notification systems are rapidly becoming more common and more sophisticated. If such devices are equipped with integral accelerometers, it is possible to input the actual vehicle accelerationtime history recorded during the crash to a suitable occupant dynamics computer...

Thirdspace: The Trialectics of the Real, Virtual and Blended Spaces

This article aims to redefine the concept of Thirdspace and make a trilateral relationship between the three concepts of real space, virtual space and the user. To do so, not only the concept of Thirdspace has to be redefined, but also a new understanding of virtual space as a relatively independent space is required. This three-sided relation requires a new understanding of the relationship be...

Simulating Automated Cars in a Virtual Urban Environment

Real world simulation by creating virtual environments is indispensable when you need to design complex entities which have to evolve in the real urban world. For example, testing control algorithms of autonomous vehicles needs an environment composed of a variety of active, moving entities and diierent kinds of vehicles. Virtual simulation environments have to provide this capability during th...

Real-Time Crash Prediction Model for the Application to Crash Prevention in Freeway Traffic

The likelihood of a crash or crash potential is significantly affected by short-term turbulence of traffic flow. For this reason, crash potential must be estimated on a real-time basis by monitoring the current traffic condition. In this regard, a probabilistic real-time crash prediction model relating crash potential to various traffic flow characteristics which lead to crash occurrence, or “c...
