NEW ADVANCED METHODS IN SIDE CRASH TESTING

This work follows up the previous work [1] regarding the used methodology in the field of passive safety, ie. crash testing. The work is based on experience gained in the Active Lateral Impact Simulator (ALIS) project and describes complete process. The main focus has been given to the fine-tuning of the boundary conditions and loading of the system in order to ensure correct biomechanical loads.

Sistem Pendeteksi Kecelakaan Kendaraan Bermotor Menggunakan Arduino Dan Smartphone Android

- Many motor vehicle accidents occur in Indonesia. One of the factors causing the high number of accidents is the large number of motorized vehicle users. Accident reporting is currently still hampered by reporting. This research creates an accident reporting system that is fast and automatic to a web server. This study aims to create a system that can report accident locations. Next, the preparation of the machine condition status detection device. And the web server receives the coordinates of the crash site. This system combines an android smart phone with an Arduino microcontroller. In this research, the voltage sensor is used to overcome the motor vehicle battery voltage. Machine condition data transmission status from device to android smart phone using bluetooth HC-05. Accelerometer and GPS sensors on android smartphones are used to check acceleration and location coordinates during an accident. This study uses 4 vehicle conditions while moving. Vehicle traveling normally, sudden brake, front collision and side collision. The speed limit value used in this study is 19.04 m / s2 or 1.94 g. Based on the research results, when the vehicle is running normally there is no significant change in the value of acceleration. In a sudden brake condition, the Y axis of the acceleration sensor decreases in value until the acceleration value is negative. In the hit-front condition, the Y-axis value has increased significantly. Meanwhile, in a side hit condition, the value of the X and Y axes has increased significantly. The front and side crash conditions were tested 10 times each. Front hit conditions were identified as accidents by 80%. While the side hit condition was identified as an accident as much as 100%. Keywords: sensor, accelerometer, accident, GPS, Android smart phone.

Improvement of passenger car rear side door beam stiffness

To protect passengers against consequences of side crash side door beams are assembled to doors of passenger cars. Their stiffness is examined during stand tests. The FE model to simulate such a test is described. After verification the model has been applied to improve of rear door side beam stiffness.

Vehicle Side Crash Safety Research based on Dynamics Modeling and Analysis

The safety of vehicle side impact has become an important research content in the field of automotive passive safety. The nonlinear dynamic explicit finite element method is used to establish the side crashworthiness model of vehicle and side crash finite element model validation is also given. The finite element model is consistent with vehicle side stiffness, which can be used in the side crash simulation analysis. The simulation calculation and result analysis of side crash are carried out for a particular vehicle model to improve the side crash safety performance.
