Porshe: Preprocessor of Roadside Safety Hardware Evaluation

摘要

A program has been developed which can be used to prepare input data for four computer simulation programs. The program, called PORSHE (Preprocessor of Roadside Safety Hardware Evaluation) allows the user to select the computer program, the vehicle type, the barrier information and to specify the initial impact conditions. From this, a standard input data file is created for the specified computer simulation program. The manual consists of the users and programmers manuals for PORSHE and a description of the vehicle data base that was developed and is required for PORSHE to operate. A listing of the computer code is also provided.
