This book was released on 2005 with total page 10 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1970, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has been responsible for setting and monitoring traffic and safety standards for all motor vehicles on U.S. roads. Authorized by the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966, the agency can investigate and recall any vehicle that contains a safety-related defect or is in violation of a federal motor vehicle safety standard. This paper describes the role of the NHTSA in assessing automotive electronics reliability and safety. We discuss the definition of "safety defect," and how it has been applied. In a number of defect investigations, automakers had initially led the NHTSA to believe that their vehicles were safe and complied with safety standards, although they contained potentially fatal defects. As a result, NHTSA had difficulty in taking effective action against rollovers, stalling problems, and fire hazards in some of the nation's popular vehicles, even though evidence pointed to a safety defect. This article then describes a juridical process that may improve road safety. Examples are given as to how regulations could be manipulated to stymie federal investigations, followed by an explanation of how the Transportation Recall Enhancement, Accountability, and Documentation Act, passed in 2000, could facilitate more effective investigations. Finally, we discuss the economics of defect recalls, and provide some recommendations.

Committee on Electronic Vehicle Controls and Unintended Acceleration and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 2012 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "TRB has released the final version of TRB Special Report 308: The Safety Promise and Challenge of Automotive Electronics: Insights from Unintended Acceleration, which examines how the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) regulatory, research, and defect investigation programs can be strengthened to meet the safety assurance and oversight challenges arising from the expanding functionality and use of automotive electronics. The report gives particular attention to the NHTSA response to consumer complaints of vehicles accelerating unintentionally and to concerns that faulty electronic systems may have been to blame. The committee that produced the report found that the increasingly capable and complex electronics systems being added to automobiles present many opportunities for making driving safer but also present new demands for ensuring their safe performance. These safety assurance demands pertain both to the automotive industry development and deployment of electronics systems and to the safety oversight role of NHTSA. With regard to the latter, the committee recommends that NHTSA give explicit consideration to the oversight challenges arising from automotive electronics and that the agency develop and articulate a long term strategy for meeting these challenges."--Provided by publisher.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vehicle reliability problems continue to be the news because of major vehicle recalls from several manufacturers. This book includes 40 SAE technical papers, published from 2007 through 2010, that describe the latest research on automotive electronics reliability technology. This book will help engineers and researchers focus on the design strategies being used to minimize electronics reliability problems, and how to test and verify those strategies. After an overview of durability, risk assessment, and failure mechanisms, this book focuses on state-of-the-art techniques for reliability-based design, and reliability testing and verification. Topics include: powertrain control monitoring distributed automotive embedded systems model-based design x-by-wire systems battery durability design verification fault tree analysis The book also includes editor Ronald K. Jurgen’s introduction ,“Striving for Maximum Reliability in a Highly Complex Electronic Environment”, and a concluding section on the future of electronics reliability, including networking technology, domain control units, the use of AUTOSAR, and embedded software.

This book was released on 2018-11-26 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New Car Assessment Program (US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Regulation) (NHTSA) (2018 Edition) The Law Library presents the complete text of the New Car Assessment Program (US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Regulation) (NHTSA) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 This document announces the agency's decision to implement (with minor modifications) the planned update to the U.S. New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) that the agency announced in its June 26, 2013 request for comments (78 FR 38266). As we discussed in that request for comments, this update will enhance the program's ability to recommend to consumers vehicle models that have rearview video systems that the agency believes (based on currently available data) will decrease the risk of backover crashes. Further, the program will no longer list electronic stability control (ESC) as a Recommended Advanced Technology Feature because ESC is now required for all light vehicles. For many years, NCAP has provided comparative information on the safety of new vehicles to assist consumers with vehicle purchasing decisions. NCAP was most recently upgraded for model year 2011 to include recommended crash avoidance technologies. Those updates, along with today's updates to NCAP, allow consumers to better distinguish not only which vehicle models have advanced crash avoidance safety features but also which of these advanced features are best able to help them avoid crashes. This book contains: - The complete text of the New Car Assessment Program (US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Regulation) (NHTSA) (2018 Edition) - A table of contents with the page number of each section
