Systemic Network-Level Approaches for Identifying Locations with High Potential for Wet and Hydroplaning Crashes
… through a new risk-measuring parameter named performance margin, which considers road geometry, environmental condition, vehicle characteristics, and operational conditions. The performance margin can replace the traditional parameter of interest of hydroplaning speed. The hydroplaning risk …

Development of Predictive Vehicle Control System using Driving Environment Data for Autonomous Vehicles and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems
… control systems have improved vehicle safety and performance, there is room for improvement for dealing with various situations. The objective of the research is to develop a predictive vehicle control system for improving vehicle safety and performance for autonomous vehicles and ADAS. In order …

General analysis of breed-and-burn reactors and limited-separations fuel cycles
… fraction, and helium coolant. If sufficient fuel performance margin exists, sodium coolant can be substituted in place of helium to achieve higher power densities at a modest burnup and DPA penalty. For a minimum-burnup B&B reactor, reasonably achievable minimum DPA values are on the order of …

Location-Aware Adaptive Vehicle Dynamics System: Linear Chassis Predictions
… uses a novel measure of handling capability, the Performance Margin (PM), to assess the need to intervene. The driver's throttle and brake control are modulated to affect desired changes to the PM in a manner that is minimally intrusive to the driver's control authority. This system depends …

An Interdisciplinary and Probabilistic Treatment of Contemporary Highway Design Standards
… scale of study, each subdivision has a set of performance metrics. Due to the differences among subdivisions, some performance metrics may (unintentionally) compete. Compromises must be made in the design stage to produce a vehicle which caters to an appropriate audience. The first part of this …
