Selection of the Most Appropriate Roadside Vehicle Restraint System – The SAVeRS Project
Abstract Run Off Road (ROR) crashes are road accidents that often result in severe injuries or fatalities. To reduce the severity of ROR crashes, “forgiving roadsides” need to be designed and this includes identifying situations where there is a...

Researches on Modeling Methods of Battery Capacity Decline Based on Cell Voltage Inconsistency and Probability Statistics
Abstract CVI inside battery is correlated with CCDI caused by uneven temperature or improper charge/discharge rate, so CVI can be used to reflect CCDI which is important when establishing a model of battery capacity decline. An accelerated-life...
