16th International Machine Design and Production Conference June 30th- July 4th, 2014 Izmir, Turkey.
Session Organiser and Special Issue Guest Editor: Professor Serpil Acar, Design School, Loughborough University, UK.
The Design for Transport Safety Special Session is organised to focus upon research, design and development that investigate ways of improving transport safety. It will provide a forum for engineers, scientists and industrialists to introduce challenges and to discuss ideas, state of the art methodologies and trends in transport safety.
All papers presented in this Special Session will be considered for submission to the Special Issue: Design for Transport Safety of the International Journal of Crashworthiness.
Transport accidents are the leading cause of severe injuries and accidental death worldwide. 1.3 million people are killed in the world each year as a result of road traffic accidents alone. Appropriate design and manufacturing of vehicles, safety systems and infrastructure play major roles in reducing the number of injuries and fatalities.
Papers reporting investigations, design, manufacturing and experiments in the following areas will be considered:
- Road, Rail, Water and amphibious vehicle and Aircraft crashworthiness
- Impact Biomechanics
- Occupant and Pedestrian Protection
- Physical Modelling
- Computational Modelling
- Accident Simulations
- Visual detection and recognition techniques
- Safety System Design
