Book excerpt: Buying the safest car for your family shouldn’t be up for debate. Yet for decades, car safety advocates, manufacturers, and lawmakers in the United States have clashed over whether to make automobiles safer. All sides armed themselves with data in the hopes of winning the great car safety debates. In this way, crash statistics and the analysts who studied them made history. But data were always in the backseat, merely supporting different points of view. That is, until now. With car safety, it’s the value we place on every human life that counts. Automobile safety expert Dr. Norma Faris Hubele delivers a lively discussion of the role data play in protecting you and your family on the road. You’ll gain a greater appreciation for how: A World War I pilot’s near-death experience birthed the U.S. car safety movement Data from real car crashes helped create the first vehicle safety standards A shift toward fuel-efficient cars affected fatality risk in the 1970s–1980s versus now Vehicle size has changed, and the problems that creates for you and others sharing the road Car safety rating systems, even when limited, empower consumers and motivate manufacturers Federal regulators decide whether to issue a safety recall on your vehicle Data’s role is evolving with the advent of driver-assist and self-driving technologies Further information can be found on the book's website: www.TheAutoProfessor.com/book [US only].

Book Assessment of IVHS Countermeasures for Collision Avoidance  Rear end Crashes

Download or read book Assessment of IVHS Countermeasures for Collision Avoidance Rear end Crashes written by Ronald R. Knipling and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes an analysis of the application of Intelligent Vehicle Highway System (IVHS) technology to the reduction of rear-end crashes. The principal countermeasure concept examined is a headway detection (HD) system that would detect stopped or slower-moving vehicles in a vehicle's travel path. The report is organized to correspond to the major steps of the project methodology: 1. Quantify baseline target crash problem size and describe target crash chracteristics; 2. Describe, analyze, and model target crash scenarios to permit understanding of principal crash causes, time and motion sequences, and potential interventions; 3. Assess countermeasure technology and mechanisms of action to identify candidate solutions; 4. Assess relevant human factors and other (e.g., environmental, vehicle) factors affecting crash scenario and potential countermeasure effectiveness; 5. Model countermeasure action to predict effectiveness and identify critical countermeasure functional requirements; 6. Identify specific priority technological, human factors, and other R & D issues to be resolved. Case reconstructions and modeling indicate that most rear-end crashes are due to driver inattention, and that this inattention can in theory be addressed successfully by the HD countermeasure concept and available radar technologies.

Book Signalized Intersections

Download or read book Signalized Intersections written by Daiheng Ni and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-02-27 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook introduces the basics principles of intersection signalization including need studies, signal phasing, sequencing, timing, as well as more advanced topics such as detectors, controllers, actuated control schemes, and signal coordination. The book covers a variety of topics critical to the set up and operation of intersections controlled by traffic signals. Professor Ni imparts a basic understanding of how intersections work, what justifies intersection signalization, how to properly design phasing and timing plans for intersections, what is needed to run traffic-responsive signals, the workings of traffic controller cabinets, and how to set up signal coordination at multiple intersections—competencies essential to transportation professionals in charge of traffic operation at federal, state, and local levels. Aimed at students in transportation engineering programs with a focus on intersection signalization, the book is also ideal for researchers of traffic dynamics and municipal civil and transportation engineers.
