Application of advanced engineering methods in studying a road traffic event between a 12-wheeler truck and a small tourism in a local junction from Cluj-Napoca

Abstract

Abstract. Road traffic and transportation are some of the most important factors that influence the social and economic contemporary life. Developing new systems and technologies for traffic control and transportation respectively all their auxiliary components is difficult without considering computer aided processing power in testing and evaluation. Main objective of the present paper is to point out the new and advanced method in car crash evaluation of two vehicles caught in a specific traffic event from ClujNapoca. Specific objectives are a theoretical study of the idea for advanced engineering method in car crash evaluation and an applied research developed in the Automotive Laboratory at Technical University from Cluj-Napoca with the motor vehicles implied in road event. Different distractions and inattention situations can transform in catastrophes for truck drivers, particularly with unexpected stoppages in traffic occur. Collisions warning with emergency brake for years now, helps road traffic participants in preventing rear-end collisions by regaining and refocusing their attention to the road and vehicles ahead of them. Thus, when a critical event is detected, a series of collision warnings and signs prompt the driver to react, and if the driver still fails to react, the emergency brakes make sure that a fatal collision is prevented anyway. Beside what already is on the spot present paper proposes an integrated complex system of communication and data transfer between multiple parts and layers involved in road traffic events. The concept and drawings are shown in the paper. Practical measurements were also considered.

Design and Development of a Low-Cost Automated All-Terrain Intelligent Robotic Vehicle for Detection to Study Its Faults and Vulnerabilities from SWOT Perspective

“…Applied solutions concerning robotic systems for quasi-autonomous inspections [2], dangerous material detection/measurement [3], harshness assessment [4], personal safety [5], automated controlled vehicles [6], and Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) analysis of the development processes [7] have been partially approached, and applied in laboratory research. They also have been field-tested in given conditions to some extent [8,9]. Dangerous fields, such as postwar areas, roads, agricultural terrains, and accident sites with fatal casualties, are seen to be the beneficiaries of remotely controlled robotic applications.…”
