Examination of accident prevention measures due to incorrect brake and accelerator pedal pression (third report) (Analysis of driver behavior when the brake and accelerator pedals are pressed incorrectly)

Nihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu
In the natural sciences, a common methodology is to observe phenomena, formulate a hypothesis, and verify it. However, human errors such as pedal mis-operation occur very infrequently, making it difficult to apply this methodology.

Stair‐Climbing Wheelchairs for Enhanced Mobility: A Comprehensive Review of Fundamental Mechanisms, Design Concepts, and Performance Analysis

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT People with physical disabilities face significant mobility challenges while climbing uneven surfaces and staircases. In these circumstances, traditional wheelchairs do not provide stable, safely controlled mobility, underscoring the importance of building superior stair‐climbing wheelchairs for both medical and infrastructure purposes.

Identification of Influencing Factors on Proenvironmental Behaviour and Construction of a Causal Loop Diagram

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study addresses the limitations of reductionist approaches to citizens' proenvironmental behaviour (PEB) by adopting a systems thinking perspective. Using qualitative system dynamics, it develops a causal loop diagram for proenvironmental behaviour (CLD‐PEB) that conceptualizes PEB as a dynamic system generated through interacting ...

Driving Performance and Safety in EV Car-Following: A Simulator Comparison of One-Pedal and Two-Pedal Modes

World Electric Vehicle Journal
With the increasing adoption of regenerative braking technology in electric vehicles (EVs), one-pedal driving (OPD) mode has become a prevalent feature. While OPD offers technical advantages in energy efficiency, its implications for driver behavior and ...

Covalent drug discovery: Progress against key targets, emerging strategies and lessons learnt

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Covalent drug discovery is currently experiencing a boom in industrial and academic interest. To date, at least 75 covalent drugs have received regulatory approval, targeting both traditional target classes and more challenging proteins for which other approaches failed. In many cases, unique aspects of covalent targeting are essential for the

Driven by risk: Understanding reference‐dependent preferences using simulated auto racing

Journal of Risk and Insurance, EarlyView.
Abstract Using data from over 56,000 simulated auto races worldwide, we analyze risk‐taking at the margins, consistent with reference‐dependent preferences. We show that participants' risk‐taking changes when a desired intermittent outcome is presented, sometimes at the expense of a more favorable expected end state.

Impact of heat exposure during immobilization‐induced de‐training and re‐training on aerobic capacity and haemoglobin mass

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The aim of this work was to assess the effect of heat exposure on cardiorespiratory and haematological responses during de‐training and re‐training. Nineteen men (33.8 ± 2.7 years; 182 ± 5.7 cm, 84.4 ± 9.3 kg) completed 4 weeks of pre‐training followed by heat exposure (HEAT; n = 9) or control (CON; n = 10).

Performance, cardioventilatory and perceptual responses to perceived opponent ability during head‐to‐head cycling competition

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract We aimed to investigate whether cycling competition influences performance and pacing compared to an individual time trial. The second aim was to determine whether performance is further influenced by deceptive or accurate augmented feedback, delivered as an opponent riding at 2% higher power outputs than a previous competitive time trial ...

Design oriented simulation of contact-friction instabilities in application to realistic brake assemblies [PDF]

, 2010
This paper presents advances in non-linear simulations for systems with contact-friction, with an application to brake squeal. A method is proposed to orient component structural modifications from brake assembly simulations in the frequency and time ...
