This document constitutes a final report for MOU 39. It contains a User's Manual, Programmer's Guide, source code and underlying theory for the program MEDUSA. This program is capable of simulating both the normative driving dynamics and collision dynamics of an arbitrary number of vehicles. Its...

This document describes part of the work conducted under MOU252 and MOU324, related to the studies of vehicle collisions in vehicle-following operations. This working paper is a detailed documentation of a computer program that is the core element of the simulation tools for vehicle collision...

This document describes part of the work conducted under MOU324, related to the studies of vehicle collisions in vehicle-following operations. The goal of the study is to conduct vehicle dynamics and control analysis and to explore display methods so that analytical results can be visualized....

This paper describes the development process and some preliminary findings for the human-machine interface (HMI) component of a system to aid snowplow operators. The HMI was developed though a series of driver task explorations and prototype tests. The HMI design has resulted in positive driver...

This report describes a procedure for detecting the geometry of the contact interface between vehicles. This technique uses a better approximation of the vehicle's shape and also preserves the advantage of the ellipsoidal model. This new model for the low relative velocity vehicular collision is...
