The analysis results will help improve the real time rollover warning/control algorithm design for vehicle safety.
According to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) of USA [1] , while only eight per cent of light vehicles (passenger cars, pick-ups, vans, and sport utility vehicles) in crashes roll over, 21 per cent of seriously injured occupants and 31 per cent of occupant fatalities are involved in rollovers.

In this paper, the safety alert simulation system within one square meter was achieved with ultra-wideband (UWB) sensor.
In addition to the safety alert device for railroad train passing a safety control area, the technology can also be used for flight control zone or traffic accident scene as a simple alert device.
Utilizing the core sensor to construct a railroad crossing safety alert device is worth promoting.

Introduction In recent years, the accidents caused by onshore industry professionals who can not afford the tremendous work pressure frequently occurred, as one of the persons who are responsible for water traffic safety and as a direct participant of the Ships’ Safe Operation, the crews’ physical and mental health are closely connecting with the target of ‘safe, secure and efficient shipping on Clean Seas’[1] .
With the rapid development of the international shipping market and high-tech used on ships,the quantity and quality of the crew will put forward higher requirements.
But with the special working environment, difficult working conditions, professional identity, and the lack of a sense of belonging, the crews’ work pressure is increasing.According to statistics, the factors of fatigue of seafarers on duty and the tremendous work pressure account for a large proportion in water traffic casualties, around 75% [2].
In order to ease crew working pressure, improve shipping efficiency, protect the water traffic safety, comply with the STCW Manila amendments, this paper is to analyze the crews’ existing work pressure source and design a more scientific crew working pressure of real-time monitoring and evaluation system by drawing on the motor vehicle driver's psychological quality comprehensive evaluation method.
