Many natural animal movements involve accelerating from a standstill and then stopping. Obstacles in natural environments often limit the straight-line distance available for movement, and decreased braking ability theoretically can limit speed for short distances. Consequently, braking ability can be important for avoiding collisions with obstacles and exploiting resources effectively in compl...

Driver braking behavior was analyzed using time-series recordings from naturalistic rear-end conflicts (116 crashes and 241 near-crashes), including events with and without visual distraction among drivers of cars, heavy trucks, and buses. A simple piecewise linear model could be successfully fitted, per event, to the observed driver decelerations, allowing a detailed elucidation of when driver...

Collision avoidance system with automatic braking has been developed to prevent rear-end crashes. It is pointed out that driver's behaviors could be changed by introducing such collision avoidance systems. Thus, it is important to understand the driver's behavioral changes with such systems and to apply the results to its better design for effective use of the assistance system. On the other ha...

For the issue of being difficult to carry out various experiments of vehicle braking systems, a real-time simulation platform which is an vehicle braking pressure based on xPC Target is proposed. In the design of platform, the method is studied through writing CS-function driver development. Under MATLAB RTW, the problems of hardware simulation in the loop to support I / O device is resolved in...

Over the years designers have developed various combined brake-accelerator pedals in an effort to eliminate the operator’s risk of pressing the wrong pedal as well as to reduce his or her reaction time in braking. The goal of this study was to highlight problems that drivers may face when they switch between pedal systems. Eighteen male and female drivers varying in age participated in the stud...

a new method for increasing ldr in deep drawing is application of anti-lock braking system (abs) on blank holder. in this method, instead of applying a constant force on blank and control the metal flow, the abs system holds and releases the blank several times (20 to 50 times) which results increasing ldr. this study investigates the effect of different parameters of abs on improving the condi...
