And Control

Maintaining Optimal tyre pressure is an important feature that paves the way for better control of the vehicle and thus improves the safety of the Vehicle and Humans. This paper aims to find the solutions in case of abnormal tyre pressure and hence ensure safety of the Vehicle. Reports from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) suggest that abnormal tyre pressure-related crashes cause 660 fatalities and 33,000 injuries every year. In order to ensure the safety of tyre and thereby the vehicle safety, pressure of the tyre is measured and monitored. In this project, the pressure and as well as the wear and tear in the vehicle’s tyre is also monitored and measured. The readings are sent to the controller and based on the value of the sensors the necessary ignition is controlled and in case of tyre pressure crossing the prescribed limits ignition is cut off and the vehicle comes to a halt in a safe manner and thus accident is prevented.The main aim of such a system is to add intelligence to vehicle and reduce number of accidents thus reducing the inconvenience during driving due to improper inflated tires The safety of the vehicle, durability of tires and vehicle’s fuel efficiency can thus be improved

Abstract Belted bias and radial Course Monitoring Tires were run over the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration tread wear course at San Angelo on a vehicle instrumented to measure lateral and longitudinal accelerations, speed, and number of wheel rotations. The data were recorded as histograms. The distribution of speed, the distributions of lateral and longitudinal acceleration, and the number of acceleration level crossings are given. Acceleration data for segments of the course are also given.

Purpose: To determine the most frequent sources of injuries from the interior of motor vehicles involved in crashes.Methods: We searched the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's National Accident Sampling System to determine the most frequent sources of injuries. This database includes sources of injuries resulting from crashes from January 1, 1991 to December 31, 1992.

Celem publikacji jest weryfikacja następującej hipotezy: pojazdy produkowane współcześnie, pomimo zwiększonej masy własnej, a przez to większej energii kinetycznej uwalnianej podczas zderzenia czołowego potrafią ulegać mniejszym odkształceniom nadwozia. Autorzy dokonują tego na podstawie dwunastu raportów testów zderzeniowych przeprowadzonych przez amerykańską organizację NHTSA (ang. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration). Sześć spośród nich zostało sporządzonych dla samochodów wyprodukowanych w ostatniej dekadzie XX wieku, reszta natomiast dla pojazdów wyprodukowanych w latach 2011-2015. Na ich podstawie możliwe było stworzenie porównania głębokości odkształcenia dla tych pojazdów oraz dokonanie obliczeń uwzględniających takie parametry jak: uwolniona energia kinetyczna, procentowa zmiana w długości całkowitej pojazdów oraz średnia głębokość deformacji. Słowa kluczowe: deformacja pojazdu, zderzenie czołowe, strefa kontrolowanego zgniotu, bezpieczeństwo pojazdów

Vocal Minority

As regular airline travelers will readily attest, infants and small children constitute a small but vocal minority of the passengers on commercial flights. Both of the authors have children less than 4 years of age and child restraint safety seats meeting the standards of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration are routinely used for automobile travel. Use of safety seats has been routinely recommended to families receiving medical care from us. On several occasions, we have attempted to bring these same safety seats on board commercial aircraft for use by our children in seats for which we paid the fare.
