  • Experiential Correlation of Vehicle Dynamics Simulation to Self-Reported Driving, Learning, and Gaming Styles
    MODSIM World 2017 Experiential Correlation of Vehicle Dynamics Simulation to Self-reported Driving, Learning, and Gaming styles Kevin F. Hulme, Ph.D., CMSP Edward M. Kasprzak, Ph.D. Karen L. Morris, MPH University at Buffalo EMK Vehicle Dynamics, LLC University at Buffalo Motion Simulation Laboratory Buffalo, NY Center for Children and Families Buffalo, NY Buffalo, NY [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] ABSTRACT For the last half century, there has been a dramatic increase in the use of modeling and simulation (M&S) applications in training and education. M&S can be leveraged to enhance conventional mechanisms for knowledge retention by bridging the gap between classroom theory and real-world application to better enable engaging, experiential participation in the learning process. This paper discusses the technical and experimental design of a game-based simulation environment for an existing road vehicle dynamics (RVD) university course. The basis of the simulation experiment is to provide an environment for learners to actively discover the interplay between two key vehicle parameters (i.e., vehicle weight distribution and roll-stiffness distribution) while driving upon an oval speedway. The goal of the learner, in real-time, is to optimize these parameters to maximize vehicle performance (i.e., to minimize lap time). Simultaneously, our objective as educators is to observe how simulator-measured experimental performance correlates to self-reported tendencies (e.g., driving style; learning style; video gaming preferences) relevant to driving and dynamics education. Our holistic goal is to determine if and to what degree M&S-based instruction is better suited towards certain types of drivers or learners, which might inform how to maximize the effectiveness of the delivery of M&S in future training and education curricula.

  • Ydenius 1 FATAL CAR to MOOSE COLLISIONS
    FATAL CAR TO MOOSE COLLISIONS: REAL-WORLD IN-DEPTH DATA, CRASH TESTS AND POTENTIAL OF DIFFERENT COUNTERMEASURES Anders Ydenius Folksam Research Sweden Anders Kullgren Matteo Rizzi Folksam Research and Chalmers University of Technology Sweden Emma Engström Folksam Research and Royal Institute of Technology Sweden Helena Stigson Folksam Research and Chalmers University of Technology Sweden Johan Strandroth Swedish Transport Administration and Chalmers University of Technology Sweden Paper Number 17-0294 ABSTRACT Vehicle collisions with large animals constitute a high risk of serious or fatal injuries, for example in northern America, Europe and Japan. In Sweden approximately 5,000 car collisions with moose occur annually. The change of velocity and acceleration is in general very low, but the car structure is not designed for collision with large animals at high speed. The objectives were to evaluate occupant response and vehicle structure in crash tests; to investigate the factors involved in real-world fatal crashes in Sweden; and to evaluate the potential of Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) to increase moose car collision avoidance and survivability. Five crash tests were conducted with cars with different size and characteristics, such as glass and sun roof. A moose crash dummy was impacted at 70 km/h. The Swedish Transport Administration (STA) national database of fatal collisions was used to study fatalities (n=47) in collisions with moose during the period 2005-2016. The analysis focused on collisions where the primary cause of fatality was the collision with a moose. The crash tests showed that a moose collision could be survivable at 70 km/h with an acceptable distance to the header structure.

  • Model Based Suspension Calibration for Hybrid Vehicle Ride and Handling Recovery
    Model Based Suspension Calibration for Hybrid Vehicle Ride and Handling Recovery THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Matthew Joseph Organiscak, B.S. Graduate Program in Mechanical Engineering The Ohio State University 2014 Thesis Committee: Dr. Giorgio Rizzoni, Advisor Dr. Shawn Midlam-Mohler Dr. Jeffrey Chrstos Copyright by Matthew Joseph Organiscak 2014 ABSTRACT Automotive manufacturers spend many years designing, developing, and manufacturing each new model to the best of their ability. The push to shorten the time of a design cycle is motivated by reducing development costs and creating a more competitive advantage. Model based design and computer simulations have an increasing presence in the automotive industry for this reason. In the automotive industry, current ride and handling tuning methods are subjective in nature. There are few, if any, objective evaluations of the vehicle ride and handling performance. EcoCAR 2 is a three year collegiate design competition, in which 15 teams compete to develop a vehicle with lower petroleum consumption and fewer emissions. The teams begin the task with a 2013 Chevrolet Malibu and are challenged with maintaining consumer acceptability. The stock vehicle has been modified greatly by removal of the stock powertrain and battery system. Nearly 900 lbs of batteries and supporting components have been added to the trunk of the car along with an electric motor and single speed transmission. This change in vehicle mass has led to issues with poor ride and handling performance. Model based calibration of the suspension dampers can be seen as a method to recover some of the lost performance.

  • Overview of Technologies Aimed at Reducing and Preventing Large Animal Strikes
    Transport Canada Transports Canada Safety and Security Sécurité et sûreté Road Safety Sécurité routière Overview of Technologies Aimed at Reducing and Preventing Large Animal Strikes April 2003 ASFBE Standards Research and Development Branch Road Safety and Motor Vehicle Regulation Directorate TRANSPORT CANADA Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0N5 Overview of Technologies Aimed at Reducing and Preventing Large Animal Strikes INTRODUCTION In the past four years there has been an increase in the number of collisions involving large animals on Canadian roads. Collisions between large wildlife and motor vehicles represent a significant concern for Transport Canada. The purpose of this report is to provide an overview of the different technologies available to assist in the prevention of animal strikes, including various road infrastructure initiatives and automotive devices. Some of these initiatives and automotive technologies are being tested and some are currently being used in different areas of the world. The intent of this report is not to review each design, but to summarize the different methods currently available. The document will focus on collisions involving large animals, in particular moose and deer. These types of collisions are common in Canada and usually result in severe consequences for the occupants of the vehicle as well as for the vehicle itself. STATISTICS Canadian data collected from 1988 to 2000 indicate that there are, on average, over 25,000 collisions a year involving a large animal (see Chart 1). Of that number, an average of 1,486 collisions resulted in injuries to the travelling public and 18 resulted in fatal injuries (see Chart 2). These numbers have been extracted from the Traffic Accident Information Database (TRAID), which is a collection of data pertaining to traffic collisions occurring in the provinces and territories.

Luijten, Eindhoven University of Technology Advisor D. van Sambeek M.Sc., Small Advanced Mobility B.V. Eindhoven University of Technology Department of mechanical engineering Automotive Engineering Science Eindhoven, November 2009 Preface Ever since my youth, my interest in cars has been great; nevertheless I had not expected this interest could also apply to the simulation of a virtual vehicle. During both my traineeship and the research leading to this work, this interest has grown. Moreover, it became clear to me that vehicle development is impossible without the application of some form of vehicle simulation. Nowadays, computational analysis and design probably are the most important tools in automobile development. It is likely that in the future the importance of this discipline will only develop further. From my perspective, knowledge about vehicle dynamics simulation is a must for my generation of automotive engineers interested in this field of technology. The vehicle of subject in this research is an interesting new approach to personal transport, combining high maneuverability in cities and sporty driving performance with guided automated highway travel. The fully electric drive of the CITO is state-of-the-art and fits well in current developments in legislation and public opinion on road transport.

The 21st century certainly poses new challenges for the construction of means and systems of transport, particularly in the greater metropolitan areas. Issues related with public transport are generally well-known. Research studies are constructively oriented towards finding solutions to reduce energy consumption, minimize construction and maintenance costs, guarantee profitability, reduce emissions of air pollutants, and first and foremost, solutions which would be human-friendly and specifically tailored to meet the needs of the people. This paper presents the concept of a new electric ECO-car designed within the remit of the scientific and research programme at Warsaw University of Technology. The car is equipped to carry both able-bodied passengers and the disabled. The car uses an integrated drive and brake-by-wire system, as well as powered by lithium-ion batteries and a super capacitor system. During the design process special attention was also paid to ergonomic issues. Due to the theme of the conference, special attention will be paid to the dynamic properties of a complex system of driver-vehicle-road. It will show dynamic phenomena in the implementation of the so-called moose test. Keywords: ECO-car, new concept, moose test, computer simulation.

  • Electronic Stability Control: Review of Research and Regulations
    ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL: REVIEW OF RESEARCH AND REGULATIONS Prepared by Michael Paine Vehicle Design and Research Pty Limited for ROADS AND TRAFFIC AUTHORITY OF NSW June 2005 Vehicle Design & Research REPORT DOCUMENTATION PAGE Report No. Report Date Pages G248 2 June 2005 30 Title and Subtitle Electronic Stability Control: Review of Research and Regulations Authors Michael Paine Performing Organisation Vehicle Design and Research Pty Limited 10 Lanai Place, Beacon Hill NSW Australia 2100 Sponsoring Organisation Roads and Traffic Authority of New South Wales. Harry Vertsonis, Road Environment and Light Vehicle Standards 280 Elizabeth St, Surry Hills, NSW Abstract Recent analysis of real world accidents in the USA suggest that Electronic Stability Control (ESC) can be remarkably effective at preventing loss-of-control accidents. Regulatory authorities and consumer test organisations around the world are therefore actively researching test methods that can be used to assess the performance of ESC. Researchers in the USA, Canada, Europe, Japan and Australia were contacted to establish the status of research and to obtain comments on ways in which ESC can be assessed and encouraged. Strategies range from "regulation by definition" and defining functional requirements for ESC, to the performance of comparative dynamic tests. At this stage there is no performance-based test and assessment protocol that is suitable for use by the Australian New Car Assessment Program or in regulations. However, consideration should be given to regulating functional requirements to ensure there are no unintended adverse effects from ESC. To complement the global research it is recommended that a small research program be undertaken in Australia to evaluate the ability of an Australian- developed test procedure to assess ESC performance.
