Rolling Resistance: Problem Solving01:17

Rolling Resistance: Problem Solving

535
Rolling resistance, also known as rolling friction, is the force that resists the motion of a rolling object, such as a wheel, tire, or ball, when it moves over a surface. It is caused by the deformation of the object and the surface in contact with each other, as well as other factors like internal friction, hysteresis, and energy losses within the materials. Rolling resistance opposes the object's motion, requiring additional energy to overcome it and maintain movement. In practical...

Schemas

12.1K
A schema is a mental construct consisting of a cluster or collection of related concepts (Bartlett, 1932). There are many different types of schemata, and they all have one thing in common: schemata are a method of organizing information that allows the brain to work more efficiently. When a schema is activated, the brain makes immediate assumptions about the person or object being observed.

Social Traps

24.5K
Social traps are negative situations where people get caught in a direction or relationship that later proves to be unpleasant, with no easy way to back out of or avoid. The concept was orignally introduced by John Platt who applied psychology to Garrett Hardin's "Tragedy of the Commons", where in New England herd owners could let their cattle graze in the common ground. This situation seems like a good idea, but an individual could have an advantage. If they owned...

Learning Disabilities01:25

Learning Disabilities

325
Learning disabilities are cognitive disorders caused by neurological impairments that affect cognitive functions like language and reading, without indicating overall intellectual or developmental challenges. These disabilities differ from global intellectual or developmental disabilities as they are limited to distinct cognitive functions. Common learning disabilities include dysgraphia, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, each of which impacts unique aspects of learning.

Area of Science:

  • Human-computer interaction
  • Transportation engineering
  • Disability studies

Background:

  • Shared automated vehicles (SAVs) promise increased mobility for aging populations and individuals with disabilities.
  • Current SAV designs frequently overlook essential accessibility requirements for diverse user groups.
  • Addressing physical accessibility is critical for the equitable adoption of autonomous vehicle technology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility of retrofitting a commercial electric SAV to meet US accessibility standards.
  • To identify key human factors challenges in making SAVs physically accessible.
  • To inform the design of future accessible SAVs through lessons learned.

Main Methods:

  • A case study involving post-production modifications to a commercial electric SAV.
  • Assessment of modifications against established US accessibility guidelines for conventional vehicles.
  • Analysis of human factors considerations for physical accessibility.

Main Results:

  • Retrofitting a SAV to meet accessibility standards presents significant challenges.
  • Key human factors issues related to physical access, such as entry/exit and securement, were identified.
  • The study underscores the complexity of integrating accessibility into SAV design.

Conclusions:

  • Accessibility and usability must be prioritized early in the SAV design process.
  • Retrofitting existing SAVs is a complex and potentially costly approach to achieving accessibility.
  • A proactive design approach is essential for creating inclusive automated transportation systems.
