This book was released on 2020-05-31 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Handbook of Human Factors for Automated, Connected, and Intelligent Vehicles Subject Guide: Ergonomics & Human Factors Automobile crashes are the seventh leading cause of death worldwide, resulting in over 1.25 million deaths yearly. Automated, connected, and intelligent vehicles have the potential to reduce crashes significantly, while also reducing congestion, carbon emissions, and increasing accessibility. However, the transition could take decades. This new handbook serves a diverse community of stakeholders, including human factors researchers, transportation engineers, regulatory agencies, automobile manufacturers, fleet operators, driving instructors, vulnerable road users, and special populations. It provides information about the human driver, other road users, and human–automation interaction in a single, integrated compendium in order to ensure that automated, connected, and intelligent vehicles reach their full potential. Features Addresses four major transportation challenges—crashes, congestion, carbon emissions, and accessibility—from a human factors perspective Discusses the role of the human operator relevant to the design, regulation, and evaluation of automated, connected, and intelligent vehicles Offers a broad treatment of the critical issues and technological advances for the designing of transportation systems with the driver in mind Presents an understanding of the human factors issues that are central to the public acceptance of these automated, connected, and intelligent vehicles Leverages lessons from other domains in understanding human interactions with automation Sets the stage for future research by defining the space of unexplored questions

Download or read book Decarbonized Fuel Options for Long haul Commercial Vehicles written by Jody Emlyn Muelaner and published by SAE International. This book was released on 2023-03-15 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most heavy trucks should be fully electric, using a combination of batteries and catenary electrification, but heavy trucks requiring very long unsupported range will need chemical fuels. At the scale of heavy trucks, compressed hydrogen can match the specific energy of diesel, but its energy density is five times lower, limiting range to around 2,000 km. Scaling green hydrogen production and addressing leakage must be priorities. Hydrogen-derived electrofuels—or “e-fuels”—have the potential to scale, and while the economic comparison currently has unknowns, clean air considerations have gained new importance Decarbonized Power Options for Long-haul Commercial Vehicles discusses these energy sources as well as the caveats related to bioenergy usage, and reasons to prefer ethanol or methanol to diesel-type fuels.

Download or read book Modernizing Product Development Processes written by Jon M. Quigley and published by SAE International. This book was released on 2023-03-31 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Product lifecycles have shortened due to competition, rapidly changing markets, emerging technology, and regulation. Modernizing Product Development Processes: Guide for Engineers provides a foundation to focus on giving engineers, entrepreneurs, and innovators a guide to developing products with a new approach instead of a traditional product development cycle.Using the fundamental pillars of this book, the authors demonstrate how to bridge the gap in today's product development cycle to improve "time to market" needs in a fast-paced environment. These pillars include: - Learning from failures and doing - Harnessing creativity (out-of-the-box thinking) - Front loading (develop concepts early) - Explore multiple possible solutions - Technology/Manufacturing readiness level - Modularity (integrate common solutions). In addition, the authors prepare engineers to scale up production to meet customer demands in a dynamic environment by demonstrating how to establish strategies and road maps with a stage gate approach focused on harnessing creativity to build concepts/technologies in early phases.In today's era of innovation, rapid technological growth, and high consumer demand, engineers must adapt and deliver products with reasonable, engineered solutions and this book shows them how.

Download or read book Vehicle Dynamics Terminology written by Vehicle Dynamics Standards Committee and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The vehicle dynamics terminology presented herein pertains to passenger cars and light trucks with two axles and to those vehicles pulling single-axle trailers. The terminology presents symbols and definitions covering the following subjects: axis systems, vehicle bodies, suspension and steering systems, brakes, tires and wheels, operating states and modes, control and disturbance inputs, vehicle responses, and vehicle characterizing descriptors. The scope does not include terms relating to the human perception of vehicle response. SAE J670 was last updated over 30 years ago. Since the last revision, the field of vehicle dynamics has changed significantly. New systems such as four-wheel steering and active control have been applied to enhance the performance of vehicles. The terminology for vehicle dynamics needed to be updated to accommodate these new technologies and to make the definitions consistent with current usage in the field. Accordingly, many new terms have been added to the terminology to provide formal definitions for terms that are associated with these new technologies. A number of existing definitions, which were based on front-wheel steer vehicles with passive control, were also revised to accommodate new technologies.In addition, new SAE and ISO standards have been published since the last revision of SAE J670 that directly relate to topics considered in SAE J670. The content of these new standards also indicated the need to revise SAE J670.Specifically, in 1987, SAE published J1594, containing aerodynamics terminology previously appearing in SAE J670e. The aerodynamics section of SAE J670e is not included in the revised document, because those terms are now defined in SAE J1594.In 1991, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) published a vehicle dynamics vocabulary, ISO 8855. SAE J670e and ISO 8855 are incompatible in several aspects, the most notable being the axis systems defined in the two documents. SAE J670e utilizes an axis system based on aeronautical practice, with positive X forward, positive Y to the right, and positive Z down. ISO 8855 utilizes an axis system with positive X forward, positive Y to the left, and positive Z up. The revised SAE J670 embraces both of these axis orientations. The revised SAE J670 additionally addresses technical shortcomings found in both SAE J670e and ISO 8855 and is a harmonized superset of the two documents.In 1998, SAE published J2047, containing definitions for tire performance terms that were previously defined in SAE J670e. The revised SAE J670 utilizes many definitions excerpted from SAE J2047, although some of these definitions are revised to enhance their applicability to vehicle dynamics.Several of the sections of SAE J670e dealing with vibration terminology are not included in the new SAE J670, as the terms that were defined in these sections are commonly defined in engineering textbooks and the definitions are not specific to vehicle dynamics.Finally, the terminology is extended to include definitions for many suspension and steering components, to enhance communication among vehicle dynamics professionals.This seventh edition of SAE J670 replaces the preceding edition (SAE J670e) in its entirety.SAE J670 has been reaffirmed to comply with the SAE Five-Year Review policy.
