PERSPECTIVE PICTURE OUTPUT FOR AUTOMOBILE DYNAMICS SIMULATION

A COMPUTER PROGRAM IS DESCRIBED FOR PRODUCING PERSPECTIVE PICTURE DISPLAYS OF THE OUTPUT FROM A SIMULATION OF THE DYNAMICS OF A SINGLE AUTO MANEUVERING UNDER VARIOUS CONDITIONS. PICTURE GENERATING SUBROUTINES, LISTS IN FORTRAN PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE ARE INCLUDED. THE PROJECT IS PART OF A RESEARCH PROGRAM TO REDUCE SINGLE VEHICLE ACCIDENTS ON RURAL HIGHWAYS BY MODIFYING VEHICLE AND HIGHWAY ELEMENTS SO THAT THE KINETIC ENERGY OF THE MOVING VEHICLE IS CONVERTED INTO REDIRECTED MOTIONS AND/OR DISSIPATED IN A CONTROLLED FASHION. /HSL/
