As the initiatives to develop and implement autonomous merchant vessels into the global
shipping industry are gaining momentum, their safety remains in the spotlight. It is argued …

Diffuse brain injuries are caused by excessive brain deformation generated primarily by
rapid rotational head motion. Metrics that describe the severity of brain injury based on head …

Objectives: The objective of this study was to determine the potential chest injury benefits
and influence on occupant kinematics of a belt system with independent control of the …

The objective of this study is to present a quantitative comparison of the biofidelity of the
THOR and Hybrid III 50th percentile male ATDs. Quantitative biofidelity was assessed using …

Objective The effect of shoulder-belt load-limiting was evaluated on right-front passenger
kinematics in 90 km/h oblique OMDB (offset moving deformable barrier) impacts and …

Objective: The objective of this article is to analyze the kinematics and dynamics of
restrained postmortem human surrogates (PMHS) exposed to a nearside oblique impact …

Chest injuries are one of the most frequent injuries in frontal and frontal oblique car crashes,
especially for the senior population due to increased physical frailty. This study was …

The potential injury reducing benefits of pre-crash belt slack reduction of a motorized seat
belt system was evaluated. The evaluation was carried out for 1 second pre-crash braking …

This study conducted detailed case reviews of fatally injured belted drivers and front row
passengers in frontal crashes in the United States. Cases were identified using the NHTSA's …

Oblique and small-overlap crashes are the second most common frontal crash type leading
to fatal outcome. This study discusses a simplified test rig suitable to analyse the …
