Evaluation of the flail space model utilizing event data recorder technology
… validity of the model. Recent implementation of Event Data Recorder (EDR) technology in a number of late model vehicles presents a different perspective on the assessment of the validity of occupant risk based on the flail space model. EDRs are capable of electronically recording data such as …

Applications of Event Data Recorder Derived Crash Severity Metrics to Injury Prevention
… crucial, as the purpose of the hardware is to prevent the vehicle from colliding with a more detrimental roadside object, all the while minimizing, and not posing additional, risk to the occupants. Unlike the new vehicle regulatory crash tests conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety …

The accuracy of energy-based crash reconstruction techniques using event data recorder measurements
… to result in large errors. The recent advent of Event Data Recorder (EDR) technology has provided engineers with measured delta-Vs from real-world collisions. These accurate measurements were the basis for several studies conducted in this thesis.</p> <p>As EDRs are a new technology, little has …

Predicting Occupant Injury with Vehicle-Based Injury Criteria in Roadside Crashes
… the response of the vehicle during a collision event. The primary purpose of this research effort was to determine if real-world crash injury prediction could be improved by augmenting the current vehicle-based metrics with vehicle-specific structure and occupant restraint performance measures. …

Effect of Belt Usage Reporting Errors on Injury Risk Estimates
… of National Automotive Sampling System-Crash Data System (NASS-CDS) investigators on injury risk estimates. Current estimates of injury risk are developed under the assumption that NASS-CDS investigators are always accurate at determining seat belt usage. The primary purpose of this research …

Pedal Misapplication: Past, Present, and Future
… multiple samples of PM crashes from a variety of data sources using both established and novel methods to gain new insight into the characteristics and frequency of PM crashes. 2. Use the confirmed, real-world PM crash data to develop a custom vehicle dynamics simulation and evaluate the overall …

The Potential of Event Data Recorders to Improve Impact Injury Assessment in Real World Crashes
Event data recorders (EDRs) are an invaluable data source that have begun to, and will increasingly, provide novel insight into motor vehicle crash characteristics. The "black boxes" in automobiles, EDRs directly measure precrash and crash kinematics. This data has the potential to eclipse the many …

A Framework for Incident Detection and notification in Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks
… estimates that over half of all congestion events are caused by highway incidents rather than by rush-hour traffic in big cities. The US-DOT also notes that in a single year, congested highways due to traffic incidents cost over $75 billion in lost worker productivity and over 8.4 billion …

Residual Crashes and Injured Occupants with Lane Departure Prevention Systems
… factors. One way to prioritize research on a preventive technology is to compare the number of occupant fatalities relative to the total number of occupants involved in a crash scenario. Four crash modes are overrepresented among fatalities: single vehicle road departure crashes, control loss …
