Modern methods of the digital virtual analysis for design and tests of road vehicle restraint systems

Abstract

Widespread introduction of information technologies of virtual digital testing to reproduce vehicle impacts against vehicle restraint systems with simulation impact modeling road safety barriers, crash cushions, terminals, removable barrier sections, transitions and passive safety devices, is one of the main actions providing decline in mortality on roads as a result of the road accidents. On this basis the so-called “Virtual Digital Proving Ground” (Virtual Test House) for testing of road arrangement elements is developed. The researches, conducted for its development are based on use of modern world-class software products and numerical methods of mechanics. Digital modeling of crash-situations with arrival of vehicles on elements of road arrangement, allows to solve complex problems of the analysis of new designs now, to investigate behavior of vehicles at with arrival on the design. Implementation of intellectual systems of automated management of vehicles does not give the chance to hope for the exception of refusals, both the equipment, and control systems, that does the problem of development of the innovation passive safety systems extremely relevant. Research and development carried out MADI by the general research team together with LLC M&PQ allowed to take the major step in advance of works on increase in safety on roads, to create tools for design of new innovations, to develop reasonable standards in the field of the road systems of passive safety. In article prospects the development of these researches in scientific and practical directions and for the purpose of increase in competences of educational programs are considered.
