Models of Vehicular Collision: Development and Simulation with Emphasison Safety II: On the Modeling of Collision between Vehicles in a Platoon System

Abstract

In this report, an algorithm for the detection of collision between two vehicles is presented. The mechanical models used for the vehicles are based on the theory of a Cosscrat point. Here, we find it convenient to establish the corresponding models using the theory of a psuedo-rigid body. This theory facilitates the development of our collision-detection algorithm. The report concludes with four examples of vehicular impact scenarios in order to illustrate the applicability of the proposed algorithm.
