Synopsis

The BOSCH handbook series on different automotive technologies has become one of the most definitive sets of reference books that automotive engineers have at their disposal.

Different topics are covered in a concise but descriptive way backed up by diagrams, graphs and tables enabling the reader to comprehend the subject matter fully. For more than 75 years BOSCH has set the pace in innovative diesel fuel–injection technology. These innovations have been documented in the third, completely revised edition of the Diesel– Engine Management handbook. The electronics that control the diesel engine are explained in easy detail. It provides a comprehensive description of all conventional diesel fuel injection systems. It also contains a thorough and detailed introduction to the modern rail system, Unit Injector System (UIS) and Unit Pump System (UPS), including the radialpiston distributor injection pump.

This comprehensive reference work on diesel fuel–injection technology is aimed at both, engine–technology experts in industry and those in the area of vocational training. For the trainee and students at university the book is an indispensable  reference work and for mechanics and engineers in the servicing field it provides valuable basic information on the highly demanding diesel fuel–injection technology.

Synopsis

A recent research report released by the U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has stated that almost 175,000 pedestrians died on U.S roadways between 1975 and 2001. It was also noted in the report that 12 per cent of all deaths related to motor vehicle crashes in the country are pedestrian fatalities. Most of the safety technology to date in vehicles has been applied to protect the occupants in the vehicle. What can vehicle manufacturers do to reduce pedestrian fatalities? With research being focused on two major fronts - methods to sense the presence of pedestrians and warn drivers of their location, and ways to design vehicles that can help not only adults of various age groups to survive an impact between them and a vehicle but also children that are smaller than most adults - the technical papers in this SAE Progress in Technology Series book explore ways the automobile can be designed to help reduce fatalities and injuries when a pedestrian and vehicle meet during an impact.

Some of the paper titles include: The Virtual Stiffness Profile - A Design Methodology for Pedestrian Safety; Engineering Thermoplastic Energy Absorber Solutions for Pedestrian Impact; Pedestrian Throw Kinematics in Forward Projection Collisions; Comparison of Pedestrian Subsystem Safety Tests Using Impactors and Full-Scale Dummy Tests Head Injuries in Vehicle-Pedestrian Impact; Body Concept Design for Pedestrian Head Impact; The Development of Procedures and Equipment for European Pedestrian Impact Protection Requirements.
