Toyota's Latest Virtual Crash Dummy Software Can Model Occupant Posture before Collis

by News Feeder, 15-05-2023, 02:14 AM

Studies show that roughly half of drivers take defensive action (such as sudden braking or steering) to avoid collisions, with vehicle occupants commonly bracing themselves at the same time. Occupant posture—whether braced or relaxed—has a significant effect on body movement during a collision. However, current human surrogate models used in virtual crash simulations are unable to simulate the reflexive defensive actions that humans take in the moments before an imminent collision, such as bracing one's body for impact.

Toyota Team Members Tackle the Terrain of North America

For some, driving in the wilderness is an everyday necessity. Others routinely face snow, ice, or flooding. At Toyota, we know that the only way to make better cars is to truly understand the conditions our customers face every day. This realization has inspired us to spend more time behind the wheel before we go back to our desks. It's motivated us to launch a new project which will see Toyota team members put themselves and their vehicles to the test over vast distances in North America.

My S14 Kouki

by piman2k, 11-05-2023, 09:55 AM

Hi Guys

A little about my car, it's very definitely a project for me and has been now for going on 6 years. I've always blogged this car, if you want to read it in full then the link is http://projectpw5.piman2k.com/

I bought it in 2009 as a fairly standard car; it had a bigger GT2871 turbo, a dodgy intercooler, some SARD 550's and a remap, some lowering springs and some Project Mu pads.

The head gasket exploded after a few thousand miles of happy motoring, and I decided I wanted to make a more aggressive, track orientated car. I bought a built forged engine, some better brakes, a body kit, some better suspension and some Work wheels.

It pretty much got out of control and has gone that way ever since. But what I've managed to knock together is a pretty capable track focused car that I've had loads of fun in.

It was off the road for a year or so last year while I ordered a trick new turbo set up from Borg Warner/Full Race and gearbox kit from Mazworx America. At the same time I had some paint refreshing, a new rear bumper, some new Ganadors and refinished sideskirts.

It still needs optimising, it has the wrong wastegate springs fitted but I'm changing them on Friday and then it'll be remapped again to see what a difference it has made. But for now, here's some pictures taken a few weeks ago. My absolute pride and joy, hope you like it
