Description
  • Keywords: Image Processing, Computer Vision, Data Analysis, Traffic Monitoring Impact assessment on motorcyclists of nudging solutions integrated into the road infrastructure for the MeBeSafe project, funded by the European Commission within the Horizon 2020 research program. Working through MATLAB, I was in charge of vehicle detection and vehicle tracking to estimate trajectories and velocities from thermal cameras installed for traffic monitoring in Eindhoven (NL).

Description
  • Keywords: Passive Safety, Biomechanics, Crash Dummies, CAE Analysis. The aim is to develop a methodology to investigate optimization possibilities for non-linear analysis in finite element simulations. The case study focuses on the crash of a premium GT vehicle, according to FMVSS 208 - NHTSA standard, to optimize the behavior of the front shock absorbers, the BIW and the whole vehicle.

This paper presents an enhanced probabilistic approach to estimate the real-world safety performance of new device concepts for road safety applications from the perspective of Powered Two-Wheeler (PTW) riders who suffer multiple injuries in different body regions. The proposed method estimates the overall effectiveness of safety devices for PTW ri...
Article
Powered Two-Wheeler riders are over-represented in crash statistics worldwide, and currently available safety solutions have not triggered a decreasing trend. A new device concept, comprised of a wearable vest with belt stripes sewn on the back and fastened to the motorcycle frame through a metal cable, was developed to save riders’ lives. The obje...
