advanced driver assistance systems (adas) have the potential to accomplish a major contribution to road safety. this is valid for minor crashes to very severe accidents with personal injuries. the allianz centre for technology attends the development of new driver assistance systems by carrying out accident analysis and estimating the efficiency of new adas. in this context new adas from differ...

Virtual prototyping and numerical simulations are increasingly replacing real mock-ups and experiments in industrial product development. Many of these simulations, e.g. for the purpose of crash worthiness explorations, are based on Finite Element Analysis (FEA). In order to accelerate the development cycle, simulation engineers want to be able to modify their FE models without going back to th...

Stock price crash risk has a significant impact on investors, creditors, managers, and shareholders, so the prediction of this phenomenon is a very important issue in investment and risk management decisions. This research investigates the effect of business strategy and stock price synchronicity on stock price crash risk. Following Bentley et al.[2], composite strategy score has been used to ...

In the present paper, employing a complete model of a passenger car, contribution of various components and assemblies in the frontal crash energy absorption is determined. Thickness of components with more remarkable contribution is increased to improve the occupant safety. Furthermore, effects of substituting the metallic bumper with one fabricated from GMT materials on the frontal crash beha...

traffic events account for about 1,200,000 deaths and more than 50 million injuries annually across the world. research shows that male drivers make up the majority of those who sustain injuries in car accidents. the present research aims to compare psychological factors affecting driving-related crashes of male and female drivers. accordingly, the sample data is collected from 208 crash-involv...

A firm is called to have stock price crash risk if the firm has a tendency to experience a sudden drop in its stock price. In this study, the relation between the firm-level of business strategy and future stock price crash risk Is examined, as well as the effect of stock overvaluation on the relationship between business strategy and crash risk investigated. Using the strategy index and crash ...

A mathematical model was developed for estimating the net present value (NPV) of the cash flow resulting from an investment in an intervention to prevent occupational low back pain (LBP). It combines biomechanics, epidemiology, and finance to give an integrated tool for a firm to use to estimate the investment worthiness of an intervention based on a biomechanical analysis of working postures a...
