US and European pedestrian crash cases were analyzed to determine frequency of injury by body region and by the vehicle component identified as the injury source. US pedestrian data was drawn from the Pedestrian Crash Data Study (PCDS). European pedestrian data was drawn from the German In-Depth Accident Study (GIDAS). Results were analyzed in terms of both serious injury (AIS 3+) and disabling...

In the automotive industry, embedded control processes determine the most important characteristics of the developed embedded systems. In this paper we present the "windshield wiper" case study, which is an application of process family engineering [1], an approach to software product line engineering that takes into account the importance of control processes in the development of embedded con...

To prevent the possible accident of a large passenger plane due to rapid decompression, transient load analysis is vital importance in assessment structure strength and also an important clause airworthiness standard. A 0-D isentropic model 1-D based on characteristic line are developed simulate decompression process cockpit-cabin cracked windshield. The accuracy these models presented by compa...

The first part of paper describes step by step installation of Switched Reluctance Motor & its drive. A special procedure for installation (Mechanical as well as Electrical) is developed in 1 / 4

We present a high image quality head up display (HUD) based on the local dimming liquid crystal (LCD). The proposed HUD provides white luminance to improve day-time visibility and low black cope with postcard effect during night by technique. To reduce computational complexity, pixel-based boosting values for pixel compensation are computed simple bi-linear interpolation, complex power function...
