An injury risk-based comprehensive framework for testing and assessing ADAS functions in critical road scenarios

Assisted driving is currently considered a key aspect for improving road safety, and automakers and OEMs are working to achieve higher levels of vehicle automation by introducing new technologies and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) in the circulating fleet. This trend requires test protocols for vehicle safety assessment to be frequently reviewed and updated, considering the latest advances in the state of the art regarding ADAS functions and systems. As of today, performance assessment programs (such as NCAP) mainly evaluate how an ADAS behaves in terms of crash avoidance in specific critical scenarios, which represent the most frequent crash constellations among real-world impacts. However, enhanced safety can be also obtained in case the impact is not avoided if a decrease in Injury Risk (IR) for the involved road users is achieved by ADAS intervention, compared to the case of no intervention.The purpose of this work is to propose an overall framework to draft or update test protocols for ADAS performance assessment based on real car-to-car impact observations, representative of impact scenarios in terms of both occurrence frequency and IR. First, the in-depth accident database IGLAD is analyzed to identify the most relevant car-to-car accident scenarios based on a relevance indicator, i.e., the risk level being the multiplication of the occurrence frequency and IR for a specific scenario. For each relevant scenario, a risk level-based strategy to identify one significant closing speed between vehicles for the tests is defined; the test collision speed for the two vehicles is determined analogously, and the risk level for each combination of speeds in a scenario represents the maximum achievable score by the ADAS if the collision is averted. Considering the well-established Euro NCAP framework as a relevant starting point for the definition of test protocols, two examples are highlighted regarding the proposal of a new test protocol and an update of an already existing one. Finally, a method is proposed for ADAS performance assessment if the impact is not avoided, scaling the maximum achievable score based on the IR reduction consequent to the ADAS intervention.

Implementasi Metode Analitycal Hierarchy Process (AHP) Pada Sistem Pendukung Keputusan Penilaian Kinerja Guru SD Negeri Taruna Karya IV Bandung

Taruna Karya IV State Elementary School (SD) Bandung City is one of the educational institutions in Bandung City, Taruna Karya IV Bandung State Elementary School organizes a teacher performance assessment program. In the process of assessing the performance of teachers at Taruna Karya IV Elementary School, Bandung City, the conventional method was used by filling out a questionnaire carried out by the school principal and the assessment team, then the questionnaire was recapitulated. The manual system and the number of teachers selected have caused school principals and the assessment team to experience difficulties in determining the teacher's decision with the best assessment. To find patterns in teacher performance assessment, a decision support system was built, through research. This research uses the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method. This method is used to evaluate and make multi-criteria decisions. It evaluates various alternatives based on different criteria and assigns a relative score to each alternative. Based on the results of this research, it produces better and more accurate calculations. If previously selection took 1 day, now with the decision support system the selection time is shorter. .

Using GPS Technology to Measure On-Time Running of Scheduled Bus Services

Assessing bus service running times has been a difficult and expensive task for many urban bus operators. This has restricted the ability of operators to collect adequate data to identify problems and improve service levels. Passive Global Positioning System (GPS) devices offer a low-cost means of collecting large amounts of highly accurate data, to be used in an ongoing performance assessment program. Some programming skills are required to break continuous GPS data into information that is meaningful to a scheduler. This article provides an overview of a software application developed to process and analyze GPS datasets collected by a bus operator in Sydney, Australia, in 2002-2003. The data collection procedure and processing algorithms are described, and examples are presented of output produced by the software. The algorithm developed to process the GPS data worked well. We conclude that passive GPS is a cost-effective method of collecting data on performance. For operators running buses on five or more routes, system development costs could be recovered within two to three years.

Experimental study of the influence of thickness and ply sequence on woven composite plates subjected to out of plane impact

In this work the different failure mechanisms have been studied on 5HS woven composite laminates subjected to low velocity impacts. A large range of energies (5-75J) has been used to induce different failures: delamination, fiber failure, out-plane shear and perforation. In addition, different configurations of AGP 280-5HS woven coupons have been manufactured to analyze the influence of thickness ((0/90)4S, (0/90)6S and (0/90)8S) and ply sequence ((0/90)8S, (±45)8S, [(±45)/(0/90)]4S, [(±45)2/(0/90)2]2S, and [(±45)4/(0/90)4]S)). Laminates have been subjected to low velocity impact using an INSTRON-CEAST Fractovis 6875 drop weight tower according to ASTM standards (D7136). Each test has been recorded with two high speed video-cameras (Photron SA-Z 2100K) in order to analyze the plate behavior during the impact. In addition, a three dimensional high velocity digital image correlation (HV-DIC) analysis has been performed to measure the out of plane displacement. Once impacted, the damaged area of the composite laminates was evaluated by ultrasonic inspections. The analysis of the influence of the plate thickness and ply sequence have been made according to the Composite Structure Impact Performance Assessment Program (CSIPAP) proposed by Feraboli and Kedward using the peak force and the absorbed energy.

Predicting degradation of organic molecules in cementitious media

Degradation of organic compounds is a key issue in the performance assessment programs for Low and Intermediate Level radioactive Waste (L-ILW) repositories. Despite significant progress in recent decades, parameterization and implementation of biotic degradation of these compounds in reactive transport models still remain a challenging task, mainly due to uncertainties linked to their complex chemical behaviour.In this work we have explored the application of thermodynamic models in order to stablish a predictive kinetic model for nineteen organic molecules of particular interest in the frame of Low and Intermediate Level Waste disposals. Firstly, from a compilation of experimental data taken from the literature, we observed a decreasing trend in the zero-order kinetic degradation rates as the number of carbon atoms increases. Even though this conclusion is based on thermodynamic and experimental data obtained at circumneutral pH conditions, it can be considered as indicators of most probable processes expected at foreseen alkaline storage conditions.Based on the model published by LaRowe and Van Cappellen (2011) for natural organic matter degradation, a set of organic molecules of interest were analysed and compared. This thermodynamic calculations allowed us to classify the molecules of interest in three different groups regarding their most probable behaviour: i) adipate, succinate, pimelate, benzoate, TPB− and DBP− been identified as persistent molecules as their degradation is thermodynamically inhibited and they represent potential radionuclides complexing agents; ii) oxalate, formate, gluconate, lactate, NTA−, propionate, acetate, ISA- and sorbate will be easily oxidized and their kinetic degradation will proceed while the substrate for bacterial growth remain available. A third group can be mentioned and comprises organic molecules having a partly inhibited degradation from the thermodynamic point of view (DBP− EDTA−, DTPA−). Different biodegradation pathways are mentioned in the literature for these molecules. Given the high complexity of the involved processes, more experimental studies are needed before concluding on their availability for microbial processes.

The Power of Stakeholders in the Management Compliance with Environmental Responsibility Issues in Indonesia

The objectives of this research were to find which the dominant stakeholders that pushed management to comply with the environmental responsibility and to examine the effect of environmental performance on financial performance. This research adopted Ullman’s three-dimensional framework to explain the stakeholders’ power. Stakeholders’ power was proxied by the power of shareholders, government, and customers. Then, PROPER rating measured the environmental performance. All Indonesian listed companies in all industrial sectors incorporating in the PROPER program were selected as the research sample. It resulted in 462 observations in the period of 2002-2017. PROPER was a company performance assessment program in environmental management. The Indonesian government initiated it through the Ministry of Environment and Forestry. This research also included various control variables (firm size, firm age, level of competitiveness, and leverage). Ordinary Least Square (OLS) was used to analyze data. The results show that the government’s power and customer’s power consistently influences the managers to comply with environmental issues. Meanwhile, the powers of the shareholder do not influence it. In the case of financial performance, the result supports the prior researchers that the higher rates of environmental performance are, the higher the powers of shareholders and customers will significantly be improved.

Large-scale assessment as professional development: teachers’ motivations, ability beliefs, and values

ABSTRACTIn this study, conducted in the United States, the authors examined the motivational characteristics of teachers in the context of a large-scale performance assessment program. Teachers received professional development through their participation in the assessment program by writing items, reviewing items, and reviewing scoring criteria. An expectancy-value theory framework and embedded mixed-methods design were used to examine teachers’ (n = 119) motivations, ability beliefs, and values related to their professional development. Survey results showed that teachers generally had a high degree of intrinsic motivation for and associated social and pedagogical utility value with the professional development. Teachers reported positive ability beliefs, a high degree of usefulness, importance, and interest associated with the professional development, and positive changes to instruction and assessment. Results of multiple regression analyses showed teachers’ intrinsic motivations and ability beliefs predicted changes to instruction and assessments. Interview results illustrated the ways in which knowledge gained from involvement in the assessment program translated to practice. Results provided insight into the complexity of participants’ values, identifying factors that enabled or constrained changes to instruction and assessments.
