Augusto T1 - Environment Setup and Model Benchmark of the MuFoRa Dataset T2 - Proceedings of the 20th International Joint Conference on Computer Vision, Imaging and Computer Graphics Theory and Applications - (Volume 3) N2 - Adverse meteorological conditions, particularly fog and rain, present significant challenges to computer vision algorithms and autonomous systems. This work presents MuFoRa a novel, controllable, and measured multimodal dataset recorded at CARISSMA’s indoor test facility, specifically designed to assess perceptual difficulties in foggy and rainy environments. The dataset bridges research gap in the public benchmarking datasets, where quantifiable weather parameters are lacking. The proposed dataset comprises synchronized data from two sensor modalities: RGB stereo cameras and LiDAR sensors, captured under varying intensities of fog and rain. The dataset incorporates synchronized meteorological annotations, such as visibility through fog and precipitation levels of rain, and the study contributes a detailed explanation of the diverse weather effects observed during data collection in the methods section. The dataset’s utility is demonstrated through a baseline evaluation example, asse ssing the performance degradation of state-of-the-art YOLO11 and DETR 2D object detection algorithms under controlled and quantifiable adverse weather conditions. The public release of the dataset (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.14175611) facilitates various benchmarking and quantitative assessments of advanced multimodal computer vision and deep learning models under the challenging conditions of fog and rain.

Im Projekt CISS wurde ein Verfahren für die Frontalcrash-Erkennung erforscht und zur Serienreife gebracht, das auf der Erfassung hochfrequenter Schwingungssignale basiert. Im Forschungsprojekt CISS.S sollten diese Erkenntnisse aus der Frontalcrash-Erkennung nun auf den Seitencrash übertragen werden, da dieser aufgrund der geringen Knautschzone verglichen mit anderen Lastfallgruppen besonders gefährlich ist. Ziel von CISS.S war deshalb die frühzeitige Erkennung des Seitencrashs zur verbesserten Airbag-Auslösung mittels Körperschallmessung während eines Unfalls. Ein weiteres Projektziel war zudem die Weiterentwicklung eines Simulationsverfahrens für die Ausbreitung von Körperschall im Fahrzeug. Darüber hinaus war mit CISS.S auch die Bestrebung verbunden, einen Transfer der Forschungsergebnisse in Querschnittsbereiche wie die Produktions- oder die Medizintechnik zu realisieren.

Forward-looking sensors (radar, lidar and cameras) have the technical capability to already provide important (pre-)crash information, such as the position of contact, relative crash velocity and overlap (width of contact) before the crash occurs. Future safety systems can improve crash mitigation with sophisticated vehicle safety strategies based on this information. One such strategy is an early activation of restraint systems compared with conventional passive safety systems. These integrated safety systems consist of a combination of predictive forward-looking sensors and occupant restraint systems (airbags, belt tensioners, etc.) to provide the best occupant safety in inevitable crash situations. The activation of the restraint systems is the most critical decision process and requires a very robust validation system to avoid false activation. Hence, the information provided by the forward-looking sensor needs to be highly reliable. A validation sensor is required to check the plausibility of crucial information from forward-looking sensors used in integrated safety systems for safe automated and autonomous driving. This work presents a CFRP-based (carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic) validation sensor working on the principle of change in electrical resistance when a contact occurs. This sensor detects the first contact, gives information on impact position (where the contact occurs) and provides information on the overlap. The aim is to activate the vehicle restraint systems at near T0 (time of first contact). Prototypes of the sensor were manufactured in house and manually and were evaluated. At first, the sensor and its working principle were tested with a pendulum apparatus. In the next stage, the sensor was tested in a real crash test. The comparison of the signals from the CFRP-based sensor with presently used crash sensors in the vehicle highlights its advantages. The crash event can be identified at 0.1 ms after the initial contact. The sensor also provides information on impact position at 1.2 ms and enables a validation of the overlap development. Finally, a possible algorithm for the vehicle safety system using forward-looking sensors with a validation sensor is described.

Based on this pre-crash information, if the occupant motion inside the vehicle structure can be predicted for the oncoming crash scenario, then an optimal restraint strategy can be planned before the crash. This paper introduces a two-step FEM simulation based methodology for predicting the occupant severity in head-on crash scenarios. In the first step, we simulate the vehicle level model with different impact positions and relative approach angles. The results of these simulations, linear velocities in the longitudinal and lateral direction and angular velocities (roll, pitch, and yaw) during in-crash phase are the loading conditions for next simulation step (occupant level). This step simulates the motion of the driver in different crash scenarios. In this paper, we investigate the head, neck, and chest injury risks from vehicle-to-vehicle crash both traveling at 50 kilometers per hour. Prediction of the head injury criterion, identifying the cases where additional deployment of side-airbags and discussion of injury criteria with contour plots are the main outcome of this paper.
