since vehicle collision coverage, unlike what it seems, is not very profitable for insurance companies and is moving towards making losses, this paper considered the adequacy of measures and rates used by insurance companies, and intended to optimize the methods by employing more scientific approaches. in order to do so, first, the factors affecting the risk of policy holders were identified an...

in recent research on modelling road collisions very little attention has been paid  to rear-end chain reaction collisions, which is characterized by more than two vehicles involved in a collision at the same time. the core aim of the present research is to develop a methodology to estimate such potential collision probabilities based on a proactive perspective, where deceleration rate to avoid...

Typical vehicle simulations require numerical integration at an integration time step no larger than 0.01 seconds, usually less than half that time. This does not leave enough time to carry out the complex calculations required for detailed collision calculations in real time. This paper presents a method that strikes a compromise, which, although not carrying all the detail necessary for very ...

This paper focuses on the optimization of initiating dimensions of groove bearing in association with de- sired design of vehicle’s front structure which is made up of low carbon steels in the case of frontal collision. Axial bearing analysis is done numerically using nonlinear finite element code LS-DYNA. In this analysis, changes of two main parameters including measure of energy absorp...

The enormous growth of vehicles on the roads increases the demand of different information and communication technologies to be extensively available over the road networks for better vehicle collision avoidance activities. The most occurring vehicle collision occurring in the present scenario is the forward vehicle collisions. The forward vehicle collision occurs when a vehicle tries to oversp...

In order to reduce the great number of parking incidences and other collisions in low speed scenarios, an obstacle avoidance algorithm is proposed. Since collision avoidance can be achieved by sole braking when driving slowly this algorithm’s objective is a comfort orientated braking routine. Therefore, an optimization problem is formulated leading to jerk and time optimal trajectories for brak...

Since 1960’s significant progress has been made with regard to vehicle safety. In spite of this progress, each year in the United States, motor vehicle crashes still account for approximately 40,000 deaths, more than three million injuries, and over $130 billion in financial losses [1]. Development of Automotive Collision Warning Systems (ACWS) is the next significant step towards vehicle safet...
