Various techniques can be applied to center pillars to enhance collision characteristics during side crashes. For instance, patchwork (PW) can be welded to the center pillar to increase its stiffness, and partial softening (PS) can be applied to prov...

The article presents a model of an anthropometric dummy designed for low velocity crash tests, designed in ADAMS. The model consists of rigid bodies connected with special joints with appropriately selected stiffness and damping. The simulation dummy...

This paper presents an optimized method for evaluating and enhancing the crashworthiness of an electric vehicle (EV) battery frame, leveraging finite element model (FEM) simulations with minimal computational effort. The study begins by utilizing a p...

The traditional analysis of road safety is based on statistical methods that are applied to crash databases to understand the significance of geometrical and traffic features on safety, or in order to localize black spots. These classic methodologies...

Inappropriate or unsafe speed is one of the main factors that affects the number of road crashes as well as the severity of the consequences. Research shows that speed is an influential factor in the occurrence of road crashes in more than 30% of roa...

Side-scan sonar is widely used in underwater rescue and the detection of undersea targets, such as shipwrecks, aircraft crashes, etc. Automatic object classification plays an important role in the rescue process to reduce the workload of staff and su...

The safety of lithium-ion batteries is critical to the safety of battery electric vehicles (BEVs). The purpose of this work is to develop a method to predict battery thermal runaway in full electric vehicle crash simulation. The thermal–electri...

As an advanced driver assistance system, automatic emergency braking (AEB) can effectively reduce accidents by using high-precision and high-coverage sensors. In particular, it has a significant advantage in reducing front-end collisions and rear-end...

Impact damage is one of the most critical scenarios for the lithium-ion battery pack of an electrical vehicle, as it involves mechanical abusive loads with serious consequences on electrical and thermal stability. The development of a numerical model...

This article investigates the simultaneous interaction between an automated vehicle (AV) and its passenger, and between the same AV and a human driver of another vehicle. For this purpose, we have implemented a multi-vehicle simulation consisting of...

The use of impact attenuators (IA) is important for vehicles as they absorb the kinetic energy exerted from the car crashes to protect the drivers from any possible injuries. Under the framework of the Formula Student (FS) competition, we investigate...

Ships sailing in the area of a bridge are vulnerable to the influence of complex water flow, due to the complex flow pattern around the bridge pier. Ships often crash into bridge piers, leading to serious economic losses and threating personal safety...

In the multi-agent offensive and defensive game (ODG), each agent achieves its goal by cooperating or competing with other agents. The multi-agent deep reinforcement learning (MADRL) method is applied in similar scenarios to help agents make decision...

In this research, the aim relates to the material characterization of high-energy lithium-ion pouch cells. The development of appropriate model cell behavior is intended to simulate two scenarios: the first is mechanical deformation during a crash an...

In order to study the influence of modular filled and composite material forms on the axial crushing and energy absorption properties of structures, modular filled composite structures were constructed, and innovatively applied to the inner side of d...

This paper deals with an enhanced robust design optimization (RDO) method and its application to the strength design problem of seat belt anchorage, related to the front crash safety of multi-purpose vehicles. In order to determine the rational desig...

Analysis of pedestrians’ head and lower limb injuries at the tissue level is lacking in studies of tram–pedestrian collisions. The purpose of this paper therefore to investigate the impact response process and severity of pedestrians&rsqu...
