| Some vehicles perform relatively well on both crashworthiness and fuel consumption measures. |
|
| The rigid structure also improves crashworthiness and helps reduce noise, vibration and harshness. |
|
| Brand boosters take the values and character traits of the car more seriously than the quality of its steel or its crashworthiness. |
|
| The helicopter airframe consists of a lightweight aluminium alloy and honeycomb structure with high crashworthiness. |
|
| The body doesn't have to play a role in the crashworthiness of the vehicle, because that capability can be built right into the skateboard. |
|
| The helicopter has a high level of crashworthiness, including impact tolerance and redundancy in vital systems and components. |
|
| By the mid-1980s, safety minded companies like Volvo, Saab, BMW and Mercedes-Benz began cashing in on their reputation for crashworthiness. |
|
| The approach taken here of combining a car's fuel economy with its crashworthiness may provide a way forward. |
|
| The American 500 has gained 80 or so pounds, which Fiat says improves the car's crashworthiness. |
|
| But we are trying to push crashworthiness even further than what's represented by today's Top Safety Pick. |
|
| Also, the new rolling stock designs incorporate UIC standards and ERA TSI for crashworthiness, noise and emission. |
|
| Our proprietary hydroforming and magnetic-pulse welding technologies allow for enhanced structural rigidity, reduced weight, and improved crashworthiness. |
|
| And they still need to meet crashworthiness, weight and NVH objectives. |
|
| The machine-milled frames are strengthened for crashworthiness. |
|
| He recommended a review of crashworthiness standards for trains, increased fire protection and direct radio contact between trains and signallers. |
|
| The wooden benches used as passenger seating were not attached to the airframe and had no engineering or crashworthiness certification. |
|
| How can the deformability of structures during impact be controlled so as to design crashworthiness into vehicles? |
|
| They do not need air bags and do not have to meet crashworthiness standards. |
|
| Other agencies have recognized the importance of improving the crashworthiness of locomotive fuel tanks. |
|
| From then, ESI GmbH played a major role in industrializing crashworthiness simulation worldwide. |
|
|
|
| The analysis will address crossing warning systems, the behaviour of highway drivers, equipment crashworthiness and passenger safety. |
|
| A rating system that awards one to four stars indicates the relative crashworthiness and pedestrian friendliness of each car. |
|
| The primary concerns in the design of current locomotive cabs are cab crashworthiness and crew injury prevention in collisions and derailments. |
|
| How do you determine the crashworthiness of a new car design? |
|
| The analysis will also cover egress from the locomotive cab, securement mechanisms for access lids and panels on the locomotive, and crashworthiness of the locomotive fuel tanks. |
|
| For example, since the aircraft accident at Dryden in 1989, crashworthiness standards for cockpit voice recorders and flight data recorders have been mandated. |
|
| That result was then contrasted with an earlier test of a Smart Fortwo, the smallest car in the United States market that has to meet federal safety standards, including those for crashworthiness. |
|
| The Board recognizes that current locomotive cabs are designed with cab crashworthiness and crew injury prevention as a primary concern as it pertains to collisions and derailments. |
|
| However, the Railroad Safety Advisory Committee Working Group has been working on revising standards and practices to enhance the level of crashworthiness protection, including the interior configuration of locomotives. |
|
| Back in the early 1970s, when your correspondent built a car for himself, he considered its backbone frame made of pressed-steel sections braced with steel tubing as state-of-the-art as far as crashworthiness was concerned. |
|
| In this accident, the data would have been saved had crashworthiness standards been similar to standards in effect in other modes of transportation. |
