The ships always have had the risk of collision. There are also a number of near-miss situations especially in the congested area such as port entrance, restricted waters and crossing point of the ship's route. In those areas, the navigator might have more stress than other areas. If the collision risk of decided area is calculated, it might be possible to analyse the human factors by using this data. It is also helpful for deciding a position of aids to navigation or any other system for the safety navigation. For this purpose, the model of collision risk with AIS data has been explained in this paper. The calculated result from the proposed model has been examined by using the simulation.

This study formulates the theoretical wheel-set model to evaluate wheel-climbing derailments of rolling stock due to collision, and verifies this theory with dynamic simulations. The impact forces occurring during collision are transmitted from a car body to axles through suspensions. As a result of combinations of horizontal and vertical forces applied to axles, rolling stock may lead to derailment. The derailment type will depend on the combinations of the horizontal and vertical forces, flange angle and friction coefficient. According to collision conditions, the wheel-lift, wheel-climbing or roll-over derailments can occur between wheel and rail. In this theoretical derailment model of wheelset, the wheel-climbing derailment types are classified into Climb-over, Climb/roll-over, and pure Roll-over according to derailment mechanism between wheel and rail, and we proposed the theoretical conditions to generate each derailment mechanism. The theoretical wheel-set model was verified by dynamic simulations.

Even thought modernized marine navigation devices help navigators, marine accidents has been often occurred and ship collision is one of the main types of the accidents. Various studies on the assessment method of collision risk have been reported, and studies using fuzzy theory are remarkable for the reason that reflect linguistic and ambiguous criteria for real situations. In these studies, collision risks were assessed on the assumption that the current state of navigation ship would be maintained. However, navigators ignore or turn off frequent alarms caused by the devices predicting collision risk, because they think that they can avoid the collisions in the most of situations. This paper proposes a model of predicting ship collision risk considering the general patterns of collision avoidance, and the approach is based on fuzzy inference and discrete event system specification (DEVS) formalism.

In this paper, a new collision avoidance algorithm based on the dynamic model of a mobile robot is proposed. In order to avoid obstacles on the path of a mobile robot, intelligent force control is used to regulate accurate distance between a robot and an obstacle. Since uncertainties from robot and environment dynamics degrade the performance of a collision avoidance task, neural network is used to compensate for uncertainties so that the collision avoidance can be performed intelligently. Simulation studies are conducted to confirm the proposed collision avoidance tracking control algorithm.

The ships transiting the Northern Sea Route (NSR) have been gradually increased so that the number of ship-ice collision accidents would be increased. The collision between ship and ice floe can lead to serious damage of hulls and decline of ship's maneuverability. In this study, collision tests that a model ship is forced to collide with disk-shaped synthetic ice floes are conducted in a towing tank. The synthetic ice floes made of polypropylene which has similar density with real ice are used. The ice load is measured by a load cell installed on the carriage rod. The ice floe's motion is measured by a motion sensor installed on the synthetic ice floe. The influences of contact conditions such as hull form and ship speed on the ship-ice collision response are investigated and discussed by measured peak force and ice floe's motion.

Smart Door(SD) is a human friendly power-assisted door system for passenger car doors. It offers comfort and safety to passengers and drivers by supplying additional power. In this study, dynamic system model and the equation of motion derivation are derived. And we propose the disturbance observer based collision detection algorithm for safety when opening the door. A disturbance caused by collision has a fast response compared to a friction, uncertainties and so on. The main idea this study is to estimate a variation of disturbance for stably and effectively detecting a collision. In order to evaluate a performance of collision detection, an experiment set up is constructed. The experimental results validate the usefulness of the proposed collision detection algorithm.

For safe last-mile autonomous robot delivery services in complex environments, rapid and accurate collision prediction and detection is vital. This study proposes a suitable neural network model that relies on multiple navigation sensors. A light detection and ranging technique is used to measure the relative distances to potential collision obstacles along the robot's path of motion, and an accelerometer is used to detect impacts. The proposed method tightly couples relative distance and acceleration time-series data in a complementary fashion to minimize errors. A long short-term memory, fully connected layer, and SoftMax function are integrated to train and classify the rapidly changing collision countermeasure state during robot motion. Simulation results show that the proposed method effectively performs collision prediction and detection for various obstacles.

Recently, many maritime accidents have been increased and the collisions due to human error are given a great deal of proportions out if them We develop the Real-time Collision Risk Monitoring System (CRMS) for the navigational officers to cope with the emergency situation promptly and thus to reduce the probability if casualty. In this study, the risk of collision is evaluated by two kinds if method. The first method is based on Fuzzy algorithm, which evaluates the risk of collision between traffic ships. The second method is based on Environmental Stress (ES) Model, where the total risk if collision is evaluated by the environmental stress felt by human. The developed real-time CRMS has been installed to the ship handling simulator system and its capabilities have been tested through simulator experiments.

Author presented some study with regard to “automatic control for ship collision avoidance system” before. Those papers are to deal with unsolved problem,; in the previous study. In this paper, two issues relating to ship collision avoidance were investigated. One is to suggest a new algorithm of avoidance of a group ship. This algorithm is useful when a ship takes avoiding action for a group fish boats and a group of merchant vessels. In the stage of taking avoidance action, newly-developed algorithm was used. the other is to develop a unified model of collision risk. Generally collision risk changes according to various type of encounters. The new model is to take into account of these situations. The above-mentioned algorithm and model were verified through simulation under various encounters between ships.

The purpose of this paper is to develop two kinds of finite element models for the heavy deformable obstacle defined in grade crossing collision scenario of the Europe TSI and the Korean rolling stock safety regulations and to apply the crashworthiness evaluation for the Korean high-speed EMU with the FE model. The numerical models of the heavy obstacle were changed from a past rigid one to a current deformable one whose stiffness requirement should be verified by a collision simulation defined in the regulations. Through several trial simulations, two types of numerical models for the heavy obstacle were developed, which satisfied physical properties specifies in the regulations. One is a solid-type obstacle with uniform density and the other is a shell-type. With the obstacles developed in this study, the grade crossing collision scenario for Korean high-speed EMU was simulated and evaluated for the two-type obstacle models. From the simulation results, the shell and solid-type obstacles showed quite different behaviors after collision, and the shell type model gave more severe results.
