Fatal and serious injuries of vulnerable road users (VRU) occur frequently in the events of
vehicle impact. Front-end crashworthiness of vehicle can considerably affect VRU injuries in …

Front rail is a key assembly for the frontal impact of vehicle. In this work, based on the key
information of benchmark vehicles and high-strength steels, front rails are designed to …

Occupant responses and injuries are important considerations in the design and
assessment of roadside safety devices such as barriers. Although incorporating occupant …

Objective: A 3-phase real-world motor vehicle crash (MVC) reconstruction method was
developed to analyze injury variability as a function of precrash occupant position for 2 full …

The tension between occupant safety during a crash and lightweight designs continues to
be an important driver of modern vehicle designs. While occupant safety may be defined …

Background Improved understanding of the occupant loading conditions in real world
crashes is critical for injury prevention and new vehicle design. The purpose of this study …

Side-impact collisions are the second leading cause of death and injury in the traffic
accidents after frontal crashes. Side-door beams were developed to reduce the velocity and …

Rear-end crash is a major type of traffic crashes leading to a large number of injuries and
fatalities each year, and passenger cars and light trucks are two main vehicle types in rear …

Every year approximately 1.35 million people die as a consequence of road accidents.
Almost 50% of road fatalities are vulnerable road users (VRUs). This research reviews the …

Objective: The objective of the current study was to perform a parametric study with different
impact objects, impact locations, and impact speeds by analyzing occupant kinematics and …
