    The proposed safety of the intened functionality (SOTIF) has challenged the safety of traditional automatic emergency braking (AEB) system. To deal with it, this paper uses systems-theoretic process analysis (STPA) to obtain the SOTIF requirements of the AEB. On the basis of the traditional AEB, a safety speed planning strategy for the perceptual blind scenes is added. Then, based on the kinematics model of the encounter between the vehicle and the pedestrian in the perceptual blind scenes, the formula of blind scenes safe speed is constructed. Then a speed sliding mode controller with a nonlinear disturbance observer is designed to track and control the speed. Finally, the simulation test is carried out on the joint platform of CarSim and Simulink to compare the safety of the proposed system with the automatic emergency braking system without the intended functional safety requirements, which is further verified via the hardware-in-the-loop experiment. The results show that the AEB considering the SOTIF can effectively reduce the risk of pedestrian collision and ensure the efficiency of vehicles passing through blind spots safely.

    From the perspective of pedestrian visual cognition, a pedestrian-vehicle micro-interaction model based on the atten-tion field of pedestrian vision is proposed. The attention field of pedestrian vision is constructed to drive the pedes-trian field of vision, and the artificial potential field is used to drive the pedestrian movement,. The target capture algorithm is used to control the target capture in the pedestrian visual field. In order to verify the effectiveness of the model, drones are used to collect the pedestrian-vehicle interaction data from the bird's-eye perspective and analyze them. Pedestrian crossing styles are divided into three types: conservative, cautious and adventurous. Simulation scenarios and interactive models are built on the Pygame platform, then, different types of interactive data are used as the model input, the similarity between the pedestrian spatiotemporal trajectory output by the model and the collected real spatiotemporal trajectory is experimentally compared. The results show that the pedestrian-vehicle mi-cro-interaction model based on pedestrian visual attention field is 25.48% more accurate than the conventional artifi-cial potential field model, and it can effectively reproduce the pedestrian-vehicle interaction process in the actual traf-fic scene.

    In order to meet the higher requirements of driver assistance systems for human-like driving ability in urban intersection, the longitudinal driving characteristics of drivers in real traffic in that area are investigated in this paper. 778 sample data of drivers approaching urban intersections are extracted from natural driving data, and YOLOv4 is applied to identifying various types of road users in traffic scene. ANOVA is used to investigate the differences in reaction characteristics across motion types and traffic densities, and hierarchical regression models are established to analyze the relationships between braking characteristics and motion state, motion type and road users. The results show that high-density traffic significantly reduces approaching speed. Compared with right-turning drivers, stopping drivers have longer reaction distance and may approach intersection with higher acceleration and braking intensity in a shorter time with braking started 4.46s earlier when approach speed is higher or reaction distance is shorter. Different road users have different effects on braking characteristics: stopping drivers primarily pay attentions to the vehicles traveling in the same direction, and right-turning drivers are mainly concerned with pedestrians and cyclists.

    In order to enhance the safety and comfort of intelligent vehicle during lane change for collision avoidance under complex road scenes, a trajectory planning method of intelligent vehicle lane change for collision avoidance is proposed based on segmented optimization. Firstly, according to the state of ego vehicle and multiple sampling points, candidate y-x curve clusters and x-t curve clusters are generated based on quintic polynomials with consideration of various possibilities of lane change. Then, by designing an obstacle risk evaluation function based on exponential function, and combined with the smoothness, altruism and driving efficiency of the trajectory, a comprehensive evaluation system is constructed to select the optimal reference trajectory, providing the direction and speed references for intelligent vehicle lane change for obstacle avoidance and preventing the solution from falling into local optimum in trajectory optimization. For suiting to the time-varying features of the obstacle movement state, the piecewise quintic polynomial y-x curve and x-t curve are constructed with the reference trajectory as a guide, and the optimization objective function is also established with consideration of the risk of collision with obstacle vehicles, converting the trajectory optimization problem into a constrained nonlinear programming one to find out the optimal trajectory by exterior point method. Finally, the simulation verification is performed on MATLAB platform with a result showing that the trajectory planning method proposed enhance the environmental adaptability and obstacle avoidance adjustment ability of vehicles, while meeting the requirements of lane-change smoothness and ride comfort.

    In order to realize eco-driving of fuel cell vehicles in the multi-signal scenario, a fast speed planning and energy management method based on hierarchical convex optimization is proposed in this paper. Combined with the static hydrogen consumption map of the vehicle, dynamic programming is used to obtain the optimal period of green light for the vehicle while passing through the traffic light, and to determine the search area for the optimal driving route. A quadratic programming problem is established to obtain the acceleration with the minimum accumulated power demand as the optimization objective, and the Matlab/OSQP solver is used to obtain the optimal driving path of the vehicle. According to the optimal driving route, an energy management strategy based on the alternating direction method of multipliers is established to realize the reasonable distribution of the output power of each power source. The simulation results for the scenario with 9 traffic lights show that the average efficiency of the motor operating point of the proposed method is 10% higher, and the hydrogen consumption is 45% lower than that of the intelligent driver model. In addition, the method has fast calculation speed and the potential for real-time optimization.

    The refined heart aorta model established earlier are filled with blood based on the fluid-cavity function of software Abaqus, a blood-heart aorta liquid-solid coupling model is constructed, and the fluid exchange with different flow rates are set on aortic valve according to the pressure difference between left ventricle and aorta. Simulations on the frontal crash of driver against steering wheel are carried out under different working conditions to analyze the effects of the cardiac blood output and the inclined angle of steering wheel on the blunt aortic injuries of driver. The results show that :(1) The blood flow from left ventricle to aorta reduces the peak blood pressure of left ventricle and alleviated the blood pressure fluctuations in the aorta, but the effect on the maximum stress of aorta is not significant; (2) When the tilted angle of steering wheel is 30°, the maximum stress in the aorta reaches 2417 kPa, which is caused by the pressing of anterior chest wall on ascending aorta; (3) When the tilted angle of steering wheel is 60°, the maximum stress in the aorta lowers to 1375 kPa, which is caused by the relative tensile displacement between aortic root and descending aorta.

    In this paper, the finite element models for the front-end structure of four typical vehicles, i.e. family car (FCR), multi-purpose vehicle (MPV), roadster (RDS) and sport utility vehicle (SUV) specified in Pedestrian Human Model Certification (TB024) of the Euro NCAP protocol and a finite element model for six-year-old child pedestrian with detailed anatomical and structural features are used to simulate the child pedestrian-car crash accident with the effects of the structural parameters of vehicle front-end on the lower extremity injuries of children pedestrians analyzed under typical conditions. The results show that the RDS causes the fractures in the greater trochanter of impact-side femur of children pedestrians due to the smaller ground clearance of the front edge of engine hood, and the high ground clearance of the spoiler in MPV and SUV leads to the more severe injuries in tibia, fibula and knee ligament of lower limbs. Finally a parameter of sectional bending moment of long bones is proposed for assessing the lower extremity injury of six-year-old child pedestrian based on the simulation results, providing references for the development and digital assessment of child's leg impactor.

    The key to active noise control is to accurately estimate the amplitude and phase of the controlled noise. PSC-FxLMS algorithm adds the phase information of noise signal onto the Command signal and thus can emit a smaller anti-noise than Command-FxLMS algorithm does, but it is restricted by the estimation accuracy of secondary path and the phase extraction speed of Fourier transform. Taking the engine noise in a SUV as the object of research, the filter PSC-FxLMS (FPSC-FxLMS) algorithm is proposed in this paper, and with the noise information collected at the 4 seat headrest positions in the SUV as the primary noise, a simulation is conducted to compare the effects of the FPSC-FxLMS algorithm proposed and Command-FxLMS algorithm in the concurrent control of 2nd and 3rd order engine noise. Then a real vehicle test is also carried out on another SUV based on DSP hardware platform to compare again the effects of two algorithms. The results show that in controlling the engine noise at the left and right ear positions of the driver and the occupant behind driver, the anti-noise amplitude of 4th order noise with the algorithm proposed is lower than that with Command-FxLMS algorithm by over 25% in 800 r/min idle condition, while the anti-noise amplitude of 2nd order noise with the algorithm proposed is lower than that with Command-FxLMS algorithm by over 50% in a 1 900 r/min no-load condition. So it is demonstrated that the FPSC-FxLMS algorithm proposed can rapidly and accurately extract the phase information of engine noise at different rotational speeds, enabling the speaker emit a smaller anti-noise than the Command-FxLMS algorithm does.

    In this paper, a nonlinear dynamic stiffness model of rolling-lobe air spring with consideration of the Payne effect of the rubber and the hysteresis characteristics of the thermodynamic equivalent stiffness and damping is proposed to overcome the difficulty in modeling the nonlinear dynamic stiffness of air spring and provide a theoretical basis for the structural design and material selection of rolling-lobe. Firstly, parameter identification is conducted for the real and imaginary parts of dynamic stiffness by indicator diagram test, showing that the Payne effect of rubber causes the increase of dynamic stiffness under small amplitude with the correctness of the model under the excitations with different amplitudes and frequencies verified. Then, the physical explanation of the changing trend of the contribution of each decoupled variables is given from the two dimensions of amplitude and frequency. The results indicate that due to the Payne effect of the rubber, the real part of dynamic stiffness reduces and its imaginary part increases first and then gradually reduces with the increase of amplitude. And due to the stiffness of air and the equivalent damping generated by heat exchange, the real part of dynamic stiffness gradually increases and its imaginary part increases first and then reduces with the increase of frequency. Finally, a new evaluation indicator reflecting the contribution ratio of the dynamic stiffness of the rubber lobe is given, which can directly characterize the low-amplitude dynamic performance and the rationality of structural design and material selection of air spring. The test results indicate that this indicator obviously reduces with the increase of amplitude, so the dynamic stiffness at low amplitude generated by rubber lobe should not be ignored.

    The parameter changes of the vehicle thermal management system affect its performances, so it is necessary to use new methods to concurrently study multiple performance indicators in different dimensions. In this paper, an 1D/3D strongly coupled model of the vehicle thermal management is constructed by using the AMESim and the STAR-CCM+. This model can study various performances including the 3D and 1D temperature and flow fields under different thermal balance conditions at the same time. The corresponding 1D analysis results show that the heat dissipation capability of the cooling system is the worst under climbing condition, and the refrigeration capacity of the air conditioning system is the worst under idle condition. In order to study the influence of the parameter changes of thermal management system on its performance, the effects of the fan and water pump speeds on the cooling capacity of cooling system under climbing condition, and the influence of the fan and compressor speeds on the refrigeration capacity of air conditioning system under idle condition are analyzed.

    In this paper, life cycle assessment method is adopted to analyze the equivalent carbon emission and energy consumption of a fuel vehicle with four different materials i.e. common steel, advanced high strength steel (AHSS), aluminum alloy and carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) as the material of its body-in-white in different stages of production, use (driving operation) and recovery after discard, with the influences of driving mileage on the emission reduction effects of different materials discussed. The results show that under current technical conditions, using AHSS and aluminum alloy to replace common steel as the material of body-in-white can reduce carbon emission and energy consumption, while using CFRP to replace common steel may increase the carbon emission and energy consumption. The life cycle carbon emission of aluminum alloy mainly depends on that in its production stage, while the selection of material is related to the carbon emission and energy consumption level in the region: in the region with general carbon emission and energy consumption level, aluminum alloy is superior than AHSS, while in the region with high carbon emission and energy consumption level, AHSS is superior than aluminum alloy. With the increase of driving mileage, the emission reduction effects of aluminum alloy become more remarkable. In a condition that the driving mileage of the fuel vehicle reaches 150 thousand km, it will get the comprehensively optimum carbon emission and energy consumption level when the materials of its body-in-white have a proportion of 77.9% AHSS versus 22.1% aluminum alloy.
