Measuring, Modeling and Simulating the Re-adaptation Process of the Human Visual System after Short-Time Glares in Traffic Scenarios
Benjamin Meyer performs several psycho-physical experiments to measure the re-adaptation process of glared drivers in traffic scenarios. The author then develops a novel tone mapping algorithm to simulate the recurring contrast perception of the human eye by adjusting the displayed contrast. Depending on background illumination, bright light sources cause considerable perception restrictions for a glared viewer and can deter the driver from perceiving critical objects for several seconds and severely increase the risk of accidents. Based on the results of the conducted user studies, this vision impairment is integrated into a night driving simulator. The modified driving simulation provides a more realistic visualization and enables the analysis of critical traffic scenarios including short-time headlight glares. This leads to better transferability of driving simulator results and enables investigating driving behavior in the presence of glare.
Lumbar Injury Biomechanics
The amount of load that can be borne by the different components of the lumbar region is fairly well understood, as are resulting injuries from overloading. Less severe lumbar injuries involve a wide range of factors, including: heredity, obesity, age, occupation, sports, cardiovascular risk factors, and depression. Some of the most painful conditions that require high levels of care involve lumbar spine fracture or soft tissue injury from falls, contact sports, vehicle collisions, aircraft ejection, and underbody blasts from roadway explosions (military injuries). Each of these injury scenarios elicits a different kinematic response of the spine as a result of load direction, magnitude, and...
Rollover Accident Reconstruction
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, “of the nearly 9.1 million passenger car, SUV, pickup and van crashes in 2010, only 2.1% involved a rollover. However, rollovers accounted for nearly 35% of all deaths from passenger vehicle crashes. In 2010 alone, more than 7,600 people died in rollover crashes.” Rollover accidents continue to be a leading contributor of vehicle deaths. While this continues to be true, it is pertinent to understand the entire crash process. Each stage of the accident provides valuable insight into the application of reconstruction methodologies. Rollover Accident Reconstruction focuses on tripped, single vehicle rollover crashes that terminate without striking a fixed object. Topics featured in this book include: • Analysis methods through various accident phases, including advanced simulation • Vehicle event data recorder usage • Occupant ejection during rollover crash The goal of this title is to break down the various phases of a rollover crash to analyze each stage for use in the reconstruction process - to the greater understanding of crash analysts, consultants and safety engineers alike.
Integrated Automotive Safety Handbook
Even though a number of developed countries enjoy a high level of vehicle safety, more than 1.2 million fatalities still occur each year on roadways worldwide. There remains a need to continue improving vehicle and road safety. New technologies in sensors and electronic control units, and the growing knowledge of car-to-car and car-to-infrastructure technologies have led to a fusion of the previously separated areas of accident avoidance (popularly known as active safety) and mitigation of injuries (popularly known as passive safety) into the newer concept of integrated vehicle safety. This new approach represents a further step toward lowering accident rates. This book, written by two of th...
Hybrid Artificial Intelligence Systems
This volume constitutes the proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Hybrid Artificial Intelligent Systems, HAIS 2014, held in Salamanca, Spain, in June 2014. The 61 papers published in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 199 submissions. They are organized in topical sessions on HAIS applications; data mining and knowledge discovery; video and image analysis; bio-inspired models and evolutionary computation; learning algorithms; hybrid intelligent systems for data mining and applications and classification and cluster analysis.
Weiterbildung von Ingenieuren und Naturwissenschaftlern im Kontext neuer Technologien
Anja Heine untersucht, wie sich Ingenieure und Naturwissenschaftler elektromobilitätsnaher Bereiche der Forschung und Entwicklung eines Unternehmens der Automobilbranche bei fachlichen Lernthemen und spezifisch bei der Elektromobilität weiterbilden. Da die Entwicklung hin zur Elektromobilität veränderte Anforderungen an das Fachwissen stellt, müssen sie dieses im Bereich Verbrennungsmotoren um elektrotechnische/chemische Kompetenzen erweitern. Die Autorin stellt fest, dass die betriebliche Weiterbildung hier Möglichkeiten bietet, frühzeitig auf Bedürfnisse für neue Fachthemen zu reagieren. Es existieren bisher kaum Untersuchungen, die den Fokus auf die individuelle Perspektive der Akteure, insbesondere beim Lern- bzw. Aneignungsprozess neuer Technologien, legen. Diese Forschungslücke wird hier geschlossen.
The Lybarger Descendants
The immigrant ancestor, Nicholas Leyberger, was born ca. 1707 in Germany. He married 1727 in Brenschelbach Maria Catharina. He died in Frederick Co., Maryland. He had three sons. Two sons were born in Germany and settled in Bedford Co., Pennsylvania and the youngest son was born in Conewago, York Co., Pa. and he also settled in Bedford County. Descendants live in Pennsylvania, Indiana, Ohio, Kansas, Illinois, Minnesota, Michigan, Missouri, Colorado, Oregon, Oklahoma, Washington and elsewhere.
American Military Shoulder Arms, Volume II
New data surrounding the procurement and modifications of arms produced by the national armories, and under federal contract procured by the individual states and by individual members of militias, is presented here for the first time. This information, interwoven with military, political, economic, and social factors, results in new and better definitions and a clearer understanding of the arms’ historical context. Though this work focuses on military flintlock shoulder arms, details on the federal government’s procurement of arms for Indians during rapidly changing military policies of the period is also included. American Military Shoulder Arms, Volume II, contains more than three hundred photographs. As with the previous volume, Volume II is written primarily for students of arms, but also contains material of interest to historians, museum specialists, collectors, and dealers of antique arms.
