Effect of Behavioral Precaution on Braking Operation of Elderly Drivers under Cognitive Workloads

open access: yesSensors, 2022
The number of accidents by elderly drivers caused by the erroneous tread of a brake pedal or accelerator pedal has increased. A recent study reported that the number of accidents could be reduced by preparing for braking mistakes due to driving behavior ...

Dynamic simulation of brake pedal force effect on heavy vehicle braking distance under wet road conditions

open access: yesInternational Journal of Automotive and Mechanical Engineering, 2022
Recent experiences have shown that one of the main causes of heavy vehicle crashes is the braking performance. In particular, when having to decelerate in an emergency situation, such as when an unexpected object is in the road. Thus, the capability of a vehicle to come to a safe stop is one of the most important factors in preventing more accidents ...

The impact analysis of the un-commanded brake caused by pedal jamming on the aircraft

open access: yesJournal of Physics: Conference Series, 2023
The rudder brake pedal unit is an important part of aircraft flight control system, also is the human machine interface for pilots to control the aircraft rudder and brake. By applying forces at different positions and directions on the pedals, the pilot

Brake system simulation to predict brake pedal feel in a passenger car

open access: yesSAE Technical Paper Series, 2009
No Braking system characteristics, brake system performance and brake system component design parameters that influence brake pedal ‘feel’ in a passenger car have been studied using the simulation modelling package AMESim, in particular to model the linear and nonlinear characteristics of internal components.

Time taken to resume driving following hip arthroscopy

open access: yesBMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2020
Background Resuming driving is a common concern among patients undergoing hip arthroscopy. The present study aimed to assess whether patients who had undergone right hip arthroscopy presented with poorer driving performance than patients with normal hips

Potential benefits of an adaptive forward collision warning system [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Forward collision warning (FCW) systems can reduce rear-end vehicle collisions. However, if the presentation of warnings is perceived as mistimed, trust in the system is diminished and drivers become less likely to respond appropriately.
