NHTSA standards fail to protect from car seat fatalities, experts say
"Automotive crashes are dangerous and unpredictable events where bad things can happen. Our seat designs are based on reasonable and responsible engineering decisions focused on saving the greatest number of lives and mitigating the greatest range of injuries in the greatest number of possible accident situations. Designs change and improve over time based on new knowledge, technology and the march of innovation. FCA US vehicles meet or exceed all applicable federal safety standards and have excellent safety records." Nearly every major American and Japanese automaker has seen similar cases, recently. Auto crash expert Alan Cantor, who has been examining seat back failures since the 1980s, says this happens every day. … [Read more...] about NHTSA standards fail to protect from car seat fatalities, experts say

IIT Roorkee researchers develop real-time defogging system for cars to prevent road accidents
NEW DELHI: Researchers at IIT Roorkee have developed a system to lower risks of accidents in low visibility conditions. The team is also working on prototyping and commercialising this technology. As different components of an automatic driver assistance system (ADAS) such as blind-spot detection, lane departure warning, and collision warning require clear image data. The technology aims to provide better information in dealing with such risky situations. “The objective of this research was to design a system for real-time defogging that produces a clear image stream from the input foggy frames. In addition to that, a high frame rate is essential in transportation to avoid frame lag or drop. If a vehicle is running at 110 km/h and a 5 frames per second ADAS is adopted, the vehicle will travel 21 feet distance before the system reacts (processing/thinking time), whereas for a 60frames per second ADAS the reaction distance reduces to 2 feet. To achieve a high frame rate at high … [Read more...] about IIT Roorkee researchers develop real-time defogging system for cars to prevent road accidents
