Abstract In recent years, as the rapid growth of the number of electric vehicles, people have more and more requirements on the safety performance of vehicles. However, compared with fuel vehicles, the structure of electric vehicles has its own particularity which makes the safety design of body structure more difficult. Thus, improving the passive safety of electric vehicles and protecting the passengers from injury in the collision to the greatest extent have become important issues for the automotive industry. This paper simulates the frontal offset impact simulation analysis of a certain type of SUV, and analyzes the safety performance of the vehicle from the perspective of member protection. The front side member structure and impact energy absorption which affect the passive safety of the whole vehicle are optimized and improved. The finite element model of the whole vehicle is rebuilt, and the frontal offset impact simulation test is carried out to verify the effectiveness of the optimization scheme.

To study the mechanical characteristics of ballasted bed under dynamic stability, a three-dimensional discrete element model of ballasted bed with 1000 mm × 700 mm × 550 mm is established based on the discrete element method. Meanwhile, a simulation test bench with the same size is built for simulation analysis and experimental research. The variation law and trend of settlement, lateral resistance, and compactness of ballasted bed under different excitation frequencies are analyzed comprehensively. The results show that when the excitation frequency is constant, the lateral resistance of sleeper, the settlement of sleeper, and the compactness of track bed under sleeper increase first and then tend to be stable. With the increase in horizontal excitation frequency, lateral resistance of ballast bed, sleeper settlement, and compactness first increase and then decrease after stable operation. The values of these parameters are maximized when the excitation frequency is 36 Hz which is the relative optimal horizontal excitation frequency of this model.

Taking a sedan as the research object, the frontal impact simulation was done. The results showed that the corresponding results of the structure deformation of the body are in agreement with the experimental data. On account of the driving zone and driver survival space that were compressed seriously, some improvements of the front carling were taken in designing. The structural simulation analysis and dummy injury analysis were done to verify the effectiveness of the improved scheme: the peak acceleration of B-Pillar was greatly reduced, the damage value of dummy was significantly reduced, and so greatly improving the car's passive safety.

Collision Avoidance System

The safety performance of vehicles are divided into two types, one type is called" active safety", i.e. before the accident prevention, prevention measures.The other type is referred to as" passive safety", i.e. when the accident happened, the vehicles and personnel to take protection measures. People usually focuses on the passive safety of this idea seriously quite, people now pay more attention to the active safety design. This paper introduces several kinds of vehicle collision avoidance system ranging modes, and discusses the intelligent collision warning system.

Accident prediction models, also known as safety performance functions, have several important uses in modern-day safety analysis. Unfortunately, calibration of these models is not straightforward. A research effort was undertaken that demonstrates the complexity of calibrating these models for urban intersections. These complexities relate to the specification of the functional form, the accommodation of the peculiarities of accident data, and the transferability of models to other jurisdictions. Toronto data were used to estimate models for three- and four-legged signalized and unsignalized intersections. Then the performance of these models was compared with that of models for Vancouver and California that were recalibrated for Toronto using a procedure recently proposed for the application in the Interactive Highway Safety Design Model (IHSDM). The results of this transferability test are mixed, suggesting that a single calibration factor as is currently specified in the IHSDM procedure may be inappropriate and that a disaggregation by traffic volume might be preferable.

Set Up

With the development of the subway and the pressing demand of environmentally friendly transportation, more and more people travel by subway. In recent decades, the issues about passenger passive safety on the train have received extensive attention. In this research, the head injury of a standing passenger in the subway is investigated. Three MADYMO models of the different standing passenger postures, defined as baseline scenarios, are numerically set up. HIC15values of passengers with different postures are gained by systematic parametric studies. The injury numerical simulation results of various scenarios with different friction coefficients, collision acceleration, standing angle, horizontal handrail height, and ring handrail height are analyzed. Results show that the horizontal handrail provides better protection in the three different standing passenger postures. Different friction coefficients and the standing angle have great impact on the head injuries of passengers in three different scenarios. The handrail height also has some effects on head injury of passengers with different standing postures, so it is necessary to be considered when designing the interior layout of the subway. This study may provide guidance for the safety design of the subway and some advices for standing subway passengers.
