Assessment of Integrated Vehicle Safety Systems for Improved Vehicle Safety

open access: yesProcedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences, 2012
AbstractRoad safety is a major societal issue. In 2009, more than 35,000 people died on the roads of the European Union, i.e. the equivalent of a medium town, and no fewer than 1,500,000 persons were injured. The cost for society is huge, representing approximately 130 billion Euros in 2009.

Influence of Radial Flows on Power Density and Gas Stream Pressure Drop of Tubular Solid Oxide Fuel Cells

open access: yesEnergies, 2022
The development of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) for powering vehicles requires high power densities. The radial flows generated by the insert structures in SOFC fuel channels could improve the power density by facilitating the fuel to enter the porous ...

Global Priorities for Vehicle Safety [PDF]

open access: yesTraffic Injury Prevention, 2003
Presently, just over 1 million people die annually in road crashes; that number will rise to 2 million by 2020. 85% of these fatal crashes occur in developing countries, and of those, about 75% involve pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorcyclists. Over the past 10 years several organizations have attempted to outline the nature and severity of these ...
