Based on the established correlation between simulated conflicts and observed crashes, scenarios are developed in the micro-simulation models to investigate the safety effects of individual transit line elements by making hypothetical modifications to such elements and estimating changes in crash frequency from the resulting changes in conflicts.
"That jet crash scenario doesn't seem so far-fetched anymore".
The chapter will investigate means of optimizing a restraint system in the context of a frontal crash scenario by considering restraint system parameters.
Therefore a structure which is designed for hard surfaces may not be safe enough for a possible crash scenario on water or soft soil.
In the crash scenario outlined above, any consequent death would be regarded as the result of an instinctual panicked move on the part of the driver, with no forethought or malice.
Eight years ago, our study of New York City pedestrian fatalities, "Killed by Automobile," established that the most lethal crash scenario is drivers turning into pedestrians in crosswalks, and that the most lethal vehicles, per mile driven, are private sanitation trucks.
Terse words were exchanged during the car crash scenario, when two people were trying to treat a casualty with a possible spine injury while under the threat of approaching rebels.
While stressing it was too early to form a clear picture, he ruled out a mid-air explosion and said the crash scenario did not appear to be linked to depressurisation.
The major technical achievements are regarding the design and the sizing of an aircraft composite fuselage structure, with the objective to include specific parts dedicated to energy absorption, in order to obtain a satisfactory behavior in a typical crash scenario.
The multi objectiveknowledgebase aims at pre-defining the targets for the structural performance of these car body components during a crash scenario, and choosing appropriate cross-sectional geometry and materials for these components, matching the targets.
