The protection of children in motor vehicle crashes has improved since the introduction of
child restraint systems. However, motor vehicle crashes remain one of the top leading …

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 …

Permanent monitoring of real-world crashes is important to identify injury patterns and injury
mechanisms that still occur in the field despite existing regulations and consumer testing …

The final subject position is often the only evidence in the case of the fall of a human being
from a given height. Foreseeing the body trajectory and the respective driving force may not …

Quantifying the kinematics of the human spine during a frontal impact is a challenge due to
the multi-degree-of-freedom structure of the vertebral column. This papers reports on a …

Belt-positioning booster (BPB) seats may prevent submarining in reclined child occupants in
frontal impacts [1, 2]. BPB-seated child volunteers showed reduced lateral displacement in …

Objectives: The objective of this study was to present, compare, and discuss the kinematic
response of children and child anthropomorphic test devices (ATDs) during emergency …

When the Hybrid III 10-year old (HIII-10C) anthropomorphic test device (ATD) was adopted
into Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 49 Part 572 as the best available tool for evaluating …

Low-to moderate-speed motor vehicle collisions are common roadway occurrences that are
generally associated with low rates of reported injury. While such complaints are generally …

Objective: Motor vehicle crashes are a leading cause of injury and mortality for children.
Mitigation of these injuries requires biofidelic anthropomorphic test devices (ATDs) to design …
