1 cooperative study of FAT and BASt ABSTRACT This paper describes the injury pattern of car occupants in rollover crashes by type, location and severity AIS. The accident cases were collected randomly within GIDAS (German In-DepthAccident Study) at Hannover. Since 1999 in Germany a joint project between BASt (Bundesanstalt für Straßenwesen or the Federal Highway Research Institute) and FAT (For...

This study aimed at indexing crash worthiness capability of 20 most frequently used car brands in Iran. Since rollover crashes are one of the most important crash types due to their high impact on crash severity, they were chosen as the case study of the current research. In this regard, the data of 42,118 rollover crashes of urban and rural roads of Iran which occurred from 2009 to 2012 was us...

We propose a unified structural credit risk model incorporating insolvency, recovery and rollover risks. The firm finances itself mainly by issuing shortand long-term debt. Short-term debt can have either a discrete or a more realistic staggered tenor structure. We show that a unique threshold strategy (i.e., a bank run barrier) exists for short-term creditors to decide when to withdraw their f...

This article analyzes the dynamic coordination problem among creditors of a firm with a time-varying fundamental and a staggered debt structure. In deciding whether to roll over his debt, each maturing creditor is concerned about the rollover decisions of other creditors whose debt matures during his next contract period. We derive a unique threshold equilibrium and characterize the roles of fu...

Rollover risk for passenger vehicles is studied using data from six states. The metric that is used is the number of rollovers per single vehicle accident. The analysis is performed with logistic regression and relevant factors such as weather and driver age are controlled for in the model. The use of categorical analysis permits the data to be used on the observation level, preventing the loss...

The objective of this paper is to develop an analytical framework to representing the ankle-foot kinematics by modelling the foot as a rollover rocker, which cannot only be used as a generic tool for general gait simulation but also allows for case-specific modelling if required. Previously, the rollover models used in gait simulation have often been based on specific functions that have usuall...

The analysis updates and expands previous research in which rollover critical events were classified based on a detailed review of approximately 500 police-reported single-vehicle rollover crashes of ESC-equipped vehicles. In order to compare the rollover performance of vehicles with and without ESC for the present study, an additional sample of more than 300 police reports on non-ESC single-ve...

This paper presents a method to design a robust controller for rollover prevention. Several types of controllers for rollover prevention have been proposed in such a way to minimize the lateral acceleration and the roll angle. The rollover prevention capability of these controllers can be enhanced if the controlled vehicle system is robust to the variation of the height of the center of gravity...

As product life cycles become shortened, companies frequently launch new products and discontinue existing ones. Companies with large and complete product lines do not have the extra resources to extend them, so they must plan successful product rollover schemes that launch new products and discard existing ones simultaneously. In previous studies, new product launch schemes and existing produc...

Using payday-lender administrative data matched to borrower credit attributes from a national credit bureau, I find that borrowers who engage in protracted refinancing (“rollover”) activity have better financial outcomes (measured by changes in credit scores) than consumers whose borrowing is limited to shorter periods. These results are robust to an alternative definition of a “rollover” that ...
