Vehicle Aerodynamics (Part 8 of
8): Fundamental Aerodynamics
(Part 2 of 2) (SS800)
It’s vital that we continue to explore
fundamental aerodynamic effects and
processes, to underpin future vehicle
development. This two-part session
underlines the importance of simplified
models in building our understanding of wake
structure, wheel rotation, cooling flows, onset
flow turbulence and crosswinds. Beyond
this, careful analysis of existing cars is used
to provide further insights into multiple-vehicle
platooning, and drag reduction technologies.
12:30 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.
Occupant Protection: Event Data
Recorders (EDR) (SS502)
This session includes the latest research
on Event Data Recorders (EDRs) equipped
in passenger cars, light trucks, and
commercial vehicles (heavy trucks and
motorcoaches). Emphasis is placed on the
application, interpretation and use of EDRs
in the investigation of motor vehicle crashes.
1:00 p.m. - 3:30 p.m.
Occupant Protection: Integrated
Safety Systems (SS503)
The 2016 session offers technical papers
covering integrated active and passive
safety system topics, including drowsy
driving prevention, driver state technology,
breath-alcohol-detection system, and
strategy and enhancement of integrated
safety systems.
1:00 p.m. - 3:30 p.m.
Occupant Protection: Rollover
(SS507)
Papers and presentations in this session
are related to vehicular rollover. They
cover various aspects of occupant safety,
including vehicle design, restraint systems
design, crash test analysis, CAE simulations
and statistical trends analysis.
1:00 p.m. - 3:30 p.m.
