Accurate prediction of occupant head kinematics is critical for better understanding of
head/face injury mechanisms in side impacts, especially far-side occupants. In light of the …

Biofidelic human body models (HBMs) with active muscles are valuable tools for assessing
the safety potential of systems that are active immediately before and during a crash. For …

Female, elderly, and obese individuals are at greater risk than male, young, and non-obese
individuals for neck injury in otherwise equivalent automotive collisions. Developing safety …

A series of vehicle-based driving maneuvers was performed, where occupants in the
passenger position were subjected to emergency braking maneuvers at 12 km/h and 50 …

Occupant kinematics during evasive maneuvers, such as crash avoidance braking or
steering, varies within the population. Studies have tried to correlate the response to …

The objective of this study is to evaluate the occupant's kinematics during emergency
braking (velocity: 12 km/h and 50 km/h, peak frontal acceleration: 10 ms-2) and lane change …

Study Design. Human volunteers were exposed experimentally to multidirectional seated
perturbations. Objective. To determine the activation patterns, spatial distribution and …

Predicting vehicle occupants' posture during evasive manoeuvres is crucial for assessing
their safety in the event of a collision. Volunteer experiments have been performed in the …

Objective: Emergency maneuvers such as evasive swerving often precede a crash. These
events are typically low-acceleration, time-extended events where the inertial forces have …

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of boundary conditions and postures in
simulations with human body Page 1 Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the …
