Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Collision Reconstruction Methodologies - Volume 6B - The last ten years have seen explosive growth in the technology available to the collision analyst, changing the way reconstruction is practiced in fundamental ways. The greatest technological advances for the crash reconstruction community have come in the realms of photogrammetry and digital media analysis. The widespread use of scanning technology has facilitated the implementation of powerful new tools to digitize forensic data, create 3D models and visualize and analyze crash vehicles and environments. The introduction of unmanned aerial systems and standardization of crash data recorders to the crash reconstruction community have enhanced the ability of a crash analyst to visualize and model the components of a crash reconstruction. Because of the technological changes occurring in the industry, many SAE papers have been written to address the validation and use of new tools for collision reconstruction. Collision Reconstruction Methodologies Volumes 1-12 bring together seminal SAE technical papers surrounding advancements in the crash reconstruction field. Topics featured in the series include: • Night Vision Study and Photogrammetry • Vehicle Event Data Recorders • Motorcycle, Heavy Vehicle, Bicycle and Pedestrian Accident Reconstruction The goal is to provide the latest technologies and methodologies being introduced into collision reconstruction - appealing to crash analysts, consultants and safety engineers alike.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rollover crashes can have serious consequences. In 2004, 33% of passenger vehicle occupant fatalities were in vehicles that rolled over. This report analyzes data related to passenger vehicle rollovers, including rollover propensity and injury outcomes. The report uses the Fatality Analysis Reporting System and National Automotive Sampling System General Estimates System databases to tabulate data on passenger vehicles and their occupants by a variety of variables and performs logistic analysis of the data. Tabulations focus on years 1994, 2003, and 2004; logistic analysis pools data for years 2000 through 2004. We specifically analyze factors that (a) were associated with vehicle rollovers in single-vehicle crashes of passenger vehicles; and (b) were associated with ejection status and varying degrees of injury severity of occupants of passenger vehicles that rolled over in single-vehicle crashes. Among other things, we also analyze the relationship between various anthropomorphic characteristics, such as the Body Mass Index, and seat belt effectiveness for drivers of passenger vehicles that were in single-vehicle rollovers. This report may be useful to other researchers and may provide a starting point for further analysis of vehicle rollovers and injury outcomes.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even though rear-end crashes are third among various collision types, occupant injuries from these incidents contribute for around one-third of all collisions. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) provides standards including the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) related to the vehicle structural crash responses as well as car occupant injuries. This thesis is mainly focused on the structural damage of a small compact car in Full-Width, Offset and Oblique-Offset Rear-End collisions, and evaluation of the potential neck injuries to the LEFT and RIGHT rear occupants of the car. To accomplish this, LS-DYNA simulations are performed using finite element (FE) models with rigid and deformable barriers according to the FMVSS 301 old and new regulations. Based on accelerations extracted at LEFT and RIGHT occupants, a car seat cabin configuration model in MADYMO with seat belt and a Hybrid-III 50th percentile dummy is developed. The occupant responses and kinematics of rear occupants (both LEFT and RIGHT) are examined in different rear end collisions including the Full-Width, Offset and Oblique-Offset rear end collisions. In addition to this Oblique-Offset Rear-Impact is also performed for better analysis of occupant responses at the near-side impact and the interaction of two rear occupants, to examine the proposed Oblique-Offset Rear-End Collision and to make recommendation on its use as regulatory standard. The results obtained from this study illustrates the difference of structural responses and evaluation of potential injuries of occupants in Full-Width, Offset, and Oblique-Offset Rear-End Collisions. The study also recommends that the Oblique-Offset Rear-Impact with two rear occupants to be part of the new Rear-End collision standard and that the secondary impact, including the Head Injury Criteria (HIC) to be evaluated for the occupants.
Download or read book Rollover Accident Reconstruction written by Nathan A Rose and published by SAE International. This book was released on 2018-08-07 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, “of the nearly 9.1 million passenger car, SUV, pickup and van crashes in 2010, only 2.1% involved a rollover. However, rollovers accounted for nearly 35% of all deaths from passenger vehicle crashes. In 2010 alone, more than 7,600 people died in rollover crashes.” Rollover accidents continue to be a leading contributor of vehicle deaths. While this continues to be true, it is pertinent to understand the entire crash process. Each stage of the accident provides valuable insight into the application of reconstruction methodologies. Rollover Accident Reconstruction focuses on tripped, single vehicle rollover crashes that terminate without striking a fixed object. Topics featured in this book include: • Analysis methods through various accident phases, including advanced simulation • Vehicle event data recorder usage • Occupant ejection during rollover crash The goal of this title is to break down the various phases of a rollover crash to analyze each stage for use in the reconstruction process - to the greater understanding of crash analysts, consultants and safety engineers alike.

Download or read book Evaluation of the Occupant Response and Structural Damage According to the Newly Proposed Pole Test Under Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard Side Impact Regulation written by Sandeep Kumar Siruvole and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: [Author abstract] Every year around the world various types of automobile accidents occur, out of which side impact vehicular collisions are the most severe. Of these, side crashes into fixed narrow objects like trees, poles account for quarter percent of total deaths and serious injuries. Moreover these side impacts present a difficult problem for improving automotive crashworthiness because of the limited crushable zone between the vehicle occupant and the intruding door structure. To improve the automotive safety in side impacts a new pole test has been proposed under Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 214 to make the existing regulation more comprehensive in addressing the critical head and neck injuries in addition to thoracic and pelvis injuries. In this thesis, a finite element model of the Ford Taurus and Moving Deformable Barrier (MDB) as developed by National Crash Analysis Center (NCAC) has been used for the impact analysis. The US DOT-SID side impact dummy taken from MADYMO dummy database has been used as the vehicle occupant and the rigid pole modeled in MSC. Patran software as the narrow object. Computer Simulations have been analyzed according to the new proposed pole test and (FMVSS) 214 regulation. The critical injury values, the occupant kinematics and the structural damage have been compared justifying the need for the new pole test for improving the occupant safety.
