Models Of Vehicular Collision: Development And Simulation With Emphasis On Safety IV: An Improved Algorithm For Detecting Contact Between Vehicles
This report describes a procedure for detecting the geometry of the contact interface between vehicles. This technique uses a better approximation of the vehicle's shape and also preserves the advantage of the ellipsoidal model. This new model for the low relative velocity vehicular collision is based on a box model for the outer surface of the vehicle and is referred to as BM.
