14_VIF_TANDEM_X3_T4 - Methods for the efficacy assessment of protective systems for bicyclists

Integrated vehicle safety is the combination of active and passive safety measures. For the design of new integrated safety systems no normative or standardized virtual tools to evaluate effectiveness are available. The integration of various systems requires an interdisciplinary view on driver, vehicle, and environment, as well as the development of multidisciplinary simulation method and processes. A key tool within these multidisciplinary activities is the co-simulation, which combines various tool and models to describe the characteristics of the interconnected system.
