ATD-MODELS develops Motorcyclist ATD-M350 FE Dummy Model according to ISO13232-3:2005Based on the existing 50th percentile Hybrid III FE-Dummy model (ATD-H350), ATD-MODELS GmbH developed a Motorcyclist ATD-M350 FE-Dummy Modell that reflects now required modifications to meet the ISO13232-3:2005 standard. These modifications comprise a modified neck and head compatible with motorcycle helmets in motorcycle-specific head positions, a sit/stand pelvis and frangible components in the abdomen, upper and lower legs, and knees. Finally, in close cooperation with a leading motorcycle manufacturer, the ATD-M350 FE-dummy model was tested in Crash-simulations using ANSYS LS-DYNA®.

Hyundai uses Chicago Auto Show to announce new Safety Test and Investigation Laboratory FacilityHyundai establishes a Safety Test and Investigation Laboratory (STIL) at its Michigan-based research and development center, Hyundai America Technical Center, Inc. (HATCI). The new facility will further augment existing safety testing and analysis. A field crash investigation lab, high voltage battery lab, forensics lab, 500m track and a Vehicle Dynamics Area (VDA) pad is scheduled to be operational fall of 2023. The investment is focused on enhancing Hyundai s safety commitment in identifying vehicle field issues, preventing crashes and keeping passengers safe. The new facility investment totals over $50 million.

Autoliv provides Exterior Airbag for Nuro's Autonomous VehicleAutoliv, Inc. and Nuro are collaborating to ensure a high safety standard for Nuro's new third-generation, production-grade autonomous delivery vehicle. As the most advanced zero-occupant vehicle designed by Nuro to date, the new flagship model features an exterior airbag by Autoliv which covers the front of the vehicle when inflated to protect other road users. The third-generation vehicle, simply called Nuro, is expected to scale its safe, eco-friendly, and convenient services to millions of people.

Strengthened UN Regulation on Emergency Braking for Trucks and CoachesThe draft new provisions for trucks and coaches under UN Regulation No. 131 were endorsed by the Working Party on Automated/Autonomous and Connected Vehicles (GRVA) on Friday 28 January. If adopted by the World Forum for the Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations in June 2022, the revised UN Regulation would enter into force by February 2023. The strengthened provisions introduce much stronger automated braking in response to the detection of stationary objects, even if the driver has not been alerted beforehand by a warning system. This is important if, for example, the traffic situation suddenly worsens due to heavily braking vehicles in front.

Pedestrian Crash Avoidance Systems cut Crashes - but not in the DarkAutomatic emergency braking (AEB) systems that can detect pedestrians are preventing pedestrian crashes - but only in the daytime or on well-lit roads. In all light conditions, crash rates for pedestrian crashes of all severities were 27 percent lower for vehicles equipped with pedestrian AEB than for unequipped vehicles, a new study from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety found. Injury crash rates were 30 percent lower. However, when the researchers looked only at pedestrian crashes that occurred at night on roads without streetlights, there was no difference in crash risk for vehicles with and without pedestrian AEB.

NHTSA to allow Adaptive Driving Beam Headlights on new VehiclesThe National Highway Traffic Safety Administration issued a final rule allowing automakers to install adaptive driving beam headlights on new vehicles. This satisfies a requirement in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law more than a year and a half ahead of schedule. This final rule will improve safety for pedestrians and bicyclists by making them more visible at night, and will help prevent crashes by better illuminating animals and objects in and along the road. read more ... Roadmap to enable Remote Operation of CAVs by 2035TRL has developed a roadmap identifying the key steps towards the remote operation of connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) by 2035 as the final piece of the Project Endeavour programme. The aim is to provide a pathway to allow the removal of the Safety Driver and Test Assistant roles from an automated vehicle (AV) for remotely operated on-highway operations in the UK. The roadmap provides a high-level overview of the actions required to achieve this and can be used by organisations in the industry, or for research purposes.

NHTSA: Utah s .05% Law shows Promise to save Lives, improve Road SafetyThe National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has found that traffic deaths in Utah decreased, and more drivers said they arranged for sober rides home, when the State lowered its impaired driving legal limit to .05%. In a new study published, NHTSA found Utah’s fatal crash rate dropped by 19.8% in 2019, the first year under the lower legal limit, and the fatality rate decreased by 18.3%. The fatality rate measures the number of fatalities over total vehicle miles traveled, whereas the fatal crash rate measures the number of crashes involving a fatality over total vehicle miles traveled. read more ... ASAM publishes Concept for a new Autonomous Vehicle Safety Standard enabling Testing for Road ReadinessAn Operational Design Domain (ODD) is fundamental to the safety of Connected Autonomous Vehicles (CAV). It describes the specific operating conditions in which the CAV is designed to operate safely. ASAM has now published the concept for a future standard to define ODDs: "ASAM OpenODD" shall specify a language concept as well as a machine-readable format to allow users to share, compare and re-use ODD definitions.

The Inland Transport Committee, established in 1947, is the highest policy-making body of UNECE in the field of transport. During the course of the past 75 years, together with its subsidiary bodies, it has provided a unique intergovernmental forum where countries come together to forge tools for economic cooperation and adopt international legal instruments on inland transport.
