Abstract

The research was carried out by the Finnish Public Transport Association. Altogether seven vehicles were measured, two two-axle Euro 3 -class vehicles as references, three new two-axle Euro 4 -class vehicles and two new three-axle vehicles. The measurements were carried out on a chassis [...]

Abstract

Bayesian networks (BNs) have been used in different contexts of decision support solutions such as directive, strategic, tactical and operational. These contexts differ from each other only in the realization of the decision support in terms of time. The real-time implementation of [...]

Abstract

Current advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) measure and evaluate every environment scenario in each trip from scratch. They are not able to draw on information of previous trips because currently a memory function in production vehicles does not exist. Learning systems for vehicles [...]

Abstract

"jats:p"Various methodologies and tools applied to identification of vehicle and collision impact seek to present more and more accurate solutions to reproduce, restore, recreate and investigate the casualty. Modern computer technology and software provide the tools to solve specific [...]

Abstract

EuroNCAP tests are carried out since 1997. The test procedure in general is comparable to the EC Directive 96/79 with a test speed of 64 km/h. This increased test speed implies a higher frontal stiffness for new vehicle designs in order to achieve a high ranking. This frontal stiffness [...]

Abstract

To provide protection to pedestrians in collision with passenger vehicles, the design and construction of a vehicle’s bumper, hood and fender panels must be addressed. TNO has undertaken a research project in conjunction with DSM to investigate how this may be done. Vehicle styling, [...]

Abstract

Day by day the number of vehicles on roads is growing, increasing also the number of accidents, traffic jams and carbon dioxide emissions. For this reason, the European Union has adopted an action plan for improving urban mobility where the public transport is the main key. To present [...]

Abstract

Fusion is a common topic nowadays in Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). The demanding requirements of safety applications require trustable sensing technologies. Fusion allows to provide trustable detections by combining different sensor devices, fulfilling the requirements [...]

Abstract

Fusion is becoming a classic topic in Intelligent Transport System (ITS) society. The lack of trustworthy sensors requires the combination of several devices to provide reliable detections. In this paper a novel approach, that takes advantage of the Joint Probabilistic Data Association [...]
