The reliability theory has been used into a vehicle-dynamics-based truck safe following distance model. Two of the model parameters, the friction coefficient of pavement and response time of drivers, have been chosen as the random variables in the reliability method. Then, the first order and ...
Behind To the left To the right Above Below The most important place to leave room is to the front. Drivers own that space in front of them. If they want to prevent accidents, they need to always leave room by maintaining a minimum safe following distance. For light-duty vehicles such a...
While everyone on the road should (in theory) have a valid driving license, unfortunately, not everybody has the same level of skill behind the wheel. Nobody wants to be involved in a crash, so let’s look at one important aspect of driving – what is a safe following distance? Underst...
SARTRE (Safe Road Trains for the Environment) road train is project being tested at Hällered proving ground in Sweden. 3 vehicles are following a lead truck in 90 km/h. The distance between the vehicles is about 6 meters. This photo shows how a road t
11.“Jump out of the car and ran to me!” Joe yelled and got off the truck,waitingfor my action.“从车里出来,跑到我身边!”Joe大叫着下了卡车,等待我的行动。 12.Followinghim, I arrived at home safe and sound finally. 跟着他,我最终安全无恙地回家了。
deer, if I brake due to a deer running across the road (which you’d think would be the safe option), I end up getting a lower driving score for hard braking & it tells me to keep a safe distance from the car ahead of me.. except it was for a deer, not me following too ...
As we get older and spend more time behind the wheel of a car, it’s easy to cut corners. Maybe we don’t always use our indicator, or we speed up to get through a yellow light when we should slow down, or we don’t keep a three second following distance. But when yo...
3. In 2021 nearly half of the total distance travelled was covered by cyclists older than 50 years of age. This trend is particularly important for road safety as older cyclists are particularly vulnerable if they are involved in a crash. In addition, bicycle use is growing in large cities ...
There’s a shank on one end that slides into your hitch’s receiver tube (just like the shank/stinger on a standard ball mount does), extending the distance behind the towing vehicle to provide additional space. So, a hitch extender increases the length of your receiver hitch tube. That ...
due to a medical emergency, DRIVE PILOT initiates a safe emergency stop manoeuvre that does not pose a risk to traffic following behind. Mercedes-Benz at the forefront of automated driving and safety technologies Since the invention of the automobile in 1886, Mercedes-Benz has repeatedly set ...
