Wavelet-Based Signal Analysis of a Vehicle Crash Test
Nowadays, each newly produced car must conform to the appropriate safety standards and norms. The most direct way to observe how a car behaves during a collision and to assess its crashworthiness is to perform a crash test. This paper deals with the wavelet-based performance analysis of the safety barrier for use in a full-scale test. The test involves a vehicle, a Ford Fiesta, which strikes th...
متن کاملCrash Test Dummies? The Impact of Televised Automotive Crash Tests on Vehicle Sales and Securities Markets
Broadcasts of Insurance Institute for Highway Safety high-speed automotive crash tests on NBC’s Dateline do not affect either market shares or stock prices. However, injury claims within a market class are highly correlated with crash test ratings. Inattention to the tests may be a consequence of the manner in which the crash tests have been presented and because the crashworthiness of the U.S....
متن کاملAutomotive Security Testing - The Digital Crash Test
Modern vehicles consist of many interconnected, software-based IT components which are tested very carefully for correct functional behavior to avoid safety problems, e.g. the brakes suddenly stop working. However, in contrast to safety testing systematic testing against potential security gaps is not yet a common procedure within the automotive domain. This however could eventually enable a ma...
متن کاملFinite element model and validation of a surrogate crash test vehicle for impacts with roadside objects
Highway and roadside safety features are crash tested for compliance with certain safety criteria. US Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) uses a surrogate reusable test vehicle, Bogie, to conduct crash tests of roadside safety features. Bogie is intended to replace an impacting vehicle in order to reduce the cost of the test. Bogie can be configured with different crushable impact noses repre...
متن کاملCrash development of AIDS test nears goal.
Impending development of a blood test for AIDS has paved the way for an epidemiological study by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. Blood samples from 200,000 presumably healthy donors will soon be drawn and stored, to be screened when the test becomes available. Donors and recipients of blood which tests AIDS-positive will then be followed to see if AIDS develops. The study raise...
