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 …

Objective This study aims to establish best practices and guidelines to ensure that
experimental research utilizing Postmortem Human Subjects (PMHS) for injury prevention …

Morphing can be used to alter human body models (HBMs) to represent a diverse
population of occupants in car crashes. The mid-sized male SAFER HBM v9 was …

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 …

Objective The present study has three objectives: First, to analyze the chest deflection
measured in nearside oblique tests performed with three post mortem human subjects …

Introduction: Chest deformation has been proposed as the best predictor of thoracic injury
risk in frontal impacts. Finite Element Human Body Models (FE-HBM) can enhance the …

Cervical pain and injuries are a major health problem globally. Existing neck injury criteria
are based on experimental studies that included sled tests performed with volunteers, post …

The use of active human body models (AHBM) is crucial for ensuring safety in autonomous
vehicles, especially during critical manoeuvres, and deserves close consideration …

The effect of belt configuration, load limiting and pretensioning on the protection of elderly
occupants was evaluated using the THOR ATD and the human body model THUMS TUC in …

Recent studies indicate real-world thoracic injury in frontal crashes is not well-predicted by
anthropometric test devices (ATDs) in crash tests. Comparing the location of rib fractures in …
