Nonlinear method of precrash velocity determination for Mini car class-B-spline tensors products with probabilistic weights

Following paper introduces the nonlinear method of determining the velocity of a vehicle before the impact-the Equivalent Energy Speed (EES). To estimate the magnitude of EES, the method utilizes the deformation work Wdef of the vehicle, defined by the quotient of deformation coefficient Cs and plastic deformation. Combined with the introduction of the B-spline tensor products and least square approximation with probabilistic weights, method shows promising results.
