Nova Science Publishers Inc Forward Collision Avoidance Systems & the
Book SynopsisIn 2012 over 1.7 million rear-end crashes occurred on our nation''s highways, resulting in more than 1,700 fatalities and 500,000 injured people. Many of these crashes could have been mitigated, or possibly even prevented, had rear-end collision avoidance technologies been in place. However, slow and insufficient action to develop performance standards for these technologies and require them in passenger and commercial vehicles, as well as a lack of incentives for manufacturers, has contributed to the ongoing and unacceptable frequency of rear-end crashes. This book describes the common causes of rear-end crashes, considers some of the latest potential solutions and countermeasures, reiterates and reclassifies previous recommendations, and issues new recommendations aimed at reducing the number and severity of such crashes. The book discusses the Safety Board special investigation which addresses the prevention of rear-end collisions through the use of Intelligent Transportation Systems. It discusses some of the challenges, including implementation, consumer acceptance, public perception, and training, associated with the deployment of vehicle- and infrastructure-based collision warning systems.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Life-Saving Vehicle Safety Technologies &
Book SynopsisBook & CD-ROM. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) began in 1975 to evaluate the effectiveness of vehicle safety technologies associated with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. By June 2014, NHTSA had evaluated the effectiveness of virtually all the life-saving technologies introduced in passenger cars, pickup trucks, SUVs, and vans from about 1960 up through about 2010. A statistical model estimates the number of lives saved from 1960 to 2012 by the combination of these life-saving technologies. Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) data for 1975 to 2012 documents the actual crash fatalities in vehicles that, especially in recent years, include many safety technologies. This book focuses exclusively on the fatality reduction attributable to vehicle safety technologies introduced since 1956 (when factory-installed lap belts first became optionally available on some cars) and, from 1968 onwards, largely associated with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards and/or related programs such as safety ratings. It develops a vehicular fatality-risk index by calendar year that measures how much safer the average car or LTV on the road has become relative to a car or LTV on the road in 1955.

Off-the-shelf kits are also covered, covering the major points you need to consider such as whether you just want to improve the quality of your ride, have the ability to raise and lower your car on demand or anything else, this book will help. - tkc. Julian Edgar points out in this book, another in Veloce's popular 'SpeedPro' series, air, as opposed to coil springing, is a suspension medium used by current top-end manufacturer such as BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Rolls-Royce and many others and has many advantages. They include easy maintenance of ride height irrespective of load, rising rate suspension that remains liberal over most if its travel, plus the ability to change both ride height and spring rate with cockpit control. An explanation of how the basic systems work and their variations is followed by a full description of the hardware, both mechanical and electronic, involved, enabling the reader (provided he has the requisite engineering ability) to carry out such work, even by using salvaged air suspension components which are apparently obtainable quite cheaply and often suitable for re-use. The Australian author has written 18 previous books covering a range of automotive DIY topics and is a hands-on modifier who performs all work on his car himself in an extensively equipped home workshop. He ends the book with a full description of how he successfully converted his own Honda Insight to air suspension. While this may not be a task that will be seriously contemplated by the average home mechanic, the author assures the reader that it's entirely possible and for anyone wishing to take the plunge, this book gives a good grounding in theory and practice of converting a car to air suspension. - Speedscene. The author seems to understand what is required; he pitches it well, assuming a degree of understanding on the part of the reader, without assuming that we all have a Masters in pneumatics and fluid dynamics from Oxford. It's a good, informative read, well illustrated and with some simple diagrams and some less-than-simple graphs. If you have a clue already, this title will help you along nicely. – Street Machine.Table of Contents* About the author * Introduction * Further reading * Chapter 1 - Benefits of air Suspension * Chapter 2 - Air spring designs * Chapter 3 - Air suspension systems * Chapter 4 - Selecting air springs * Chapter 5 - Using salvaged air suspension components * Chapter 6 - Wiring air suspension systems * Chapter 7 - The eLabtronics Air Suspension Controller * Chapter 8 - Air suspension natural frequencies * Chapter 9 - Tuning air suspension * Chapter 10 - Fitting a car with custom air suspension * Chapter 11 - Air suspension hints and tips * Chapter 12 - Selecting an air suspension kit * Index

David & Charles Modifying the Aerodynamics of Your Road Car
Book SynopsisThis unique handbook assumes no starting knowledge of vehicle aerodynamics. It begins with simple ideas and finishes with sophisticated and effective aerodynamic modifications that work. Three major chapters cover on-road testing techniques that give you all the information you need to decide what modifications you should make - and, after you've made them, how well they work. Low-cost techniques allow you to visualise the patterns of airflow over your car so that you can actually see the problem areas that need improvement. Uniquely, you're also shown how to measure aerodynamic pressures, so you can determine which body surfaces are creating lift, drag and downforce. Want to work out where a wing should be placed? On-road testing to find that out is covered as well. The book also shows you how to measure downforce to see if that wing is actually working! If you wish to reduce drag, more than ten different areas are covered. Reducing frontal area, lowering cooling system drag, optimising vehicle ride height and rake, reducing the strength of the wake, achieving clean airflow separation and optimising wheel designs - they're all covered using the latest research findings. And if you're a performance driver, there's a major chapter devoted to reducing lift and improving stability. This chapter includes the design and development of undertrays and diffusers, wings and spoilers. The example car developed measurable downforce when fitted with an undertray and rear diffuser, something that transformed its on-road handling. The author has been writing about the aerodynamics of road cars for more than 25 years. He is also an experienced and proficient car modifier who has performed numerous aerodynamic modifications and upgrades to his own cars. The book's technical consultant, RH Barnard, is an acknowledged world leading automotive aerodynamicist. If you want a practical, hands-on guide that demystifies and explains car aerodynamics, and shows you how to make effective aerodynamic modifications to your car, this book is for you.Trade ReviewA great read for anyone interest in car aerodynamics. tkc (Totalkitcarhttp:/)this is a great practical guide to road car aerodynamics, simply explained, and backed up with plenty of references to industry sources and papers for those who want to find out more. www.silhouet.com. a fascinating book Iain P W Robertson - FreelanceTable of ContentsChapter 1 - Theory * Wake drag * Viscous drag * Body pressures causing drag and lift * Interference drag * Attached and separated flows * Reynolds numbers * Trailing vortices * Undercar flows * Drag and lift coefficients * Yaw * Dynamic and static pressures Chapter 2 - Aerodynamic vehicles * Rumpler Tropfenwagen * Opel RAK II winged rocket car * Tatra T87 * Porsche Type 64 * Volkswagen Transporter * NSU Ro80 * Dodge Charger Daytona & Plymouth Roadrunner Superbird * Holden Special Vehicles Group A Commodore * Opel Calibra * General Motors EV1 * General Motors Chevrolet Volt * Volkswagen XL-1 Chapter 3 - Flow visualisation * On-road flow testing * Visualisation techniques * Wool-tufting * Smoke streams * Eroding clay * Dust Chapter 4 - Pressure measurement * Pressure measurement aims * Measuring instruments * Magnehelic gauges * Pressure probes * Measuring pressures with a Magnehelic gauge * Step-by-step pressure measurement * Using pressure measurement data * Using pitot tubes to measure airspeed Chapter 5 - Measuring drag and lift * Measuring drag * Required power testing * Coast-down testing * Fuel economy testing * Measuring lift and downforce on the road Chapter 6 - Reducing drag * Reducing frontal area * Reducing rear vison mirror drag * Reducing cooling drag * Ride height and rake * Reducing the area of the wake * Reducing the strength of the wake * Achieving clean separation * Reducing separation bubbles * Undertrays * Wheels, tyres and wheel arches * Reducing drag - development of a new car Chapter 7 - Reducing lift and improving stability * Causes of lift * Stability * Determining the centre of pressure and centre of gravity * Lateral forces * Undertrays and diffusers * Spoilers * Wings * Reducing trailing vortices * Active aerodynamics Chapter 8 - Improving flow through heat exchangers * Pressure differentials * Improving underbonnet intercooler airflow * Testing a diesel intercooler * Designing and installing an alternator cooling duct * Turning vanes * Bonnet (hood) vents and ducts Chapter 9 - Engine intakes * Benefits * Measuring pressures * Measuring engine intakes * Building a new engine intake Chapter 10 - Reducing aerodynamic noise * Causes of aerodynamic noise * Testing and measurement * Decreasing noise production * Decreasing noise transmission * Modifications to reduce noise

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Automotive Software Architectures: An
Book SynopsisThis book introduces the concept of software architecture as one of the cornerstones of software in modern cars. Following a historical overview of the evolution of software in modern cars and a discussion of the main challenges driving that evolution, Chapter 2 describes the main architectural styles of automotive software and their use in cars’ software. Chapter 3 details this further by presenting two modern architectural styles, i.e. centralized and federated software architectures. In Chapter 4, readers will find a description of the software development processes used to develop software on the car manufacturers’ side. Chapter 5 then introduces AUTOSAR – an important standard in automotive software. Chapter 6 goes beyond simple architecture and describes the detailed design process for automotive software using Simulink, helping readers to understand how detailed design links to high-level design. The new chapter 7 reports on how machine learning is exploited in automotive software e.g. for image recognition and how both on-board and off-board learning are applied. Next, Chapter 8 presents a method for assessing the quality of the architecture – ATAM (Architecture Trade-off Analysis Method) – and provides a sample assessment, while Chapter 9 presents an alternative way of assessing the architecture, namely by using quantitative measures and indicators. Subsequently Chapter 10 dives deeper into one of the specific properties discussed in Chapter 8 – safety – and details an important standard in that area, the ISO/IEC 26262 norm. Lastly, Chapter 11 presents a set of future trends that are currently emerging and have the potential to shape automotive software engineering in the coming years. This book explores the concept of software architecture for modern cars and is intended for both beginning and advanced software designers. It mainly aims at two different groups of audience – professionals working with automotive software who need to understand concepts related to automotive architectures, and students of software engineering or related fields who need to understand the specifics of automotive software to be able to construct cars or their components. Accordingly, the book also contains a wealth of real-world examples illustrating the concepts discussed and requires no prior background in the automotive domain. Compared to the first edition, besides the two new chapters 3 and 7 there are considerable updates in chapters 5 and 8 especially.Table of Contents1 Introduction.- 2.
