Project Description

Vehicle Safety

In view of the numerous road fatalities, it is urgently necessary to make the means of transport in India safer. Since the majority of passenger transport vehicles (buses and cars) for the Indian market are developed and manufactured in India, engineers need to be trained to make them aware of vehicle safety and efficient lightweight construction.

The aim of this subproject was defined as that the Indian students, together with the German students, should learn the modern methods of structure development and vehicle production.

Collaborators

Since vehicle safety is a central research area at the Trier University of Applied Sciences (a crash track, crash test dummies, high-speed cameras, a drop tower and all relevant software packages are available at the Institute of Automotive Engineering), numerous individual actions have been identified in the preliminary discussions with the Indian university on this topic in which cooperation with Indian scientists and students would make sense.

At the specific request of the Indian colleagues, it is planned to send Indian students to the university in Trier to learn crash development using finite element models. The University of Trier provides the necessary CAE software such as LS-Dyna, Hyperworks and Madymo and has the largest number of CATIA CAD licenses outside the industry in Germany, so that vehicle structures and occupant restraint systems can be mapped and optimized with regard to occupant protection, energy absorption and lightweight construction in lectures and exercises today. The Indian students are to take part in these events and test the methodology under guidance using simple simulation models.

Driver Assistance

An approach to understand the driver behavior using smartphone sensors. The aim for analyzing the sensory data acquired using a smartphone is to design a car-independent system which does not need vehicle mounted sensors measuring turn rates, gas consumption or tire pressure. The sensory data utilized in this paper includes the accelerometer, gyroscope and the magnetometer. Using these sensors, we obtain position, speed, acceleration, deceleration and deflection angle sensory information and estimate commuting safety by statistically analyzing driver behavior. In contrast to state of the art, this work uses no external sensors, resulting in a cost efficient, simplistic and user-friendly system.

Within the framework of this subproject, a crash algorithm adapted to the road quality and traffic conditions in India is to be developed based on the algorithms predeveloped by German students for European roads. To this end, students will carry out driving tests in India and Germany in the context of excursions in order to record driving data. These will then be evaluated by the teams using an algorithm (to be programmed in Matlab) and further developments can be carried out jointly.

Collaborators

The further development of the crash algorithm to a driving style recognition took place in parallel within the scope of final theses and research projects, so that the driver can get a constant feedback to his driving style (aggressive speeding, strong braking, too high speeds). Studies with prototypes in England have shown that young drivers in particular (who generally tend to attract attention due to a high accident frequency) are in favour of this feedback, take it into account and are demonstrably responsible for fewer accidents.

This mobile phone based (iOS and Android programming) driving style algorithm will also be further developed by international student teams and adapted to the Indian market so that young drivers in India and Europe can benefit from the innovative solution.

Safe Transport infrastructure

Since the 1980s, new road safety concepts have been developed in Europe under various names (Vision Zero, Sustainable Safety etc.) and implemented particularly in Sweden, the Netherlands and England.

In Germany, Vision Zero is represented by the German Road Safety Council (DVR), in which Prof. König is actively involved. Therefore, the students of the Trier University of Applied Sciences are also familiar with these strategies and approaches in the fields of technology (vehicle technology) and BLV (civil engineering). Together with the students in India and Germany, it is now to be examined whether and how these concepts need to be modified in order to be able to show effect under the difficult conditions in India with a disorderly traffic flow and a close mixture of unequal traffic partners.

Each year, international teams of 4 students from Chennai and Trier will be formed, which will get to know the specific requirements of the transport infrastructure in Chennai and will be introduced to the different transport concepts of the 5 European countries D, NL, B, F, Lux indise a radius of 150 km from Trier within the framework of an excursion under scientific guidance in Europe.

Collaborators

Building on this, the team members will examine the transferability of the concepts for India with integration into the corresponding courses and with regular coordination in the entire team and considering the technical feasibility (construction planning, construction engineering, traffic flow investigations, traffic control systems), develop application-related new concepts.

The aim is to consolidate knowledge and social responsibility among the students, and to use concrete measures in the transport infrastructure to reduce the number of road deaths even in the case of massive multimodal transport, which according to the Indian colleagues, would mean significant added value on the Indian labour market. The German students can directly derive knowledge which modifications to the European infrastructure are necessary in order to be prepared for the vision of multimodal transport that we also have (interplay of bus, small car, e-bike, e-scooters, car-sharing...), which would also mean an outstanding and forward-looking additional qualification.

The continuation of these topics within the framework of joint theses and doctorates is intended, the admission of German university graduates to the PhD program of Hindustan University will be examined.
