Vehicles with automated driving systems (ADS) may allow nontraditional seating
arrangements, such as a reclined seat that is rear facing in a frontal impact. Currently, there …

The primary objective of this study was to investigate the effect of the postural change
between a normal seating posture and a reclined posture in vehicles by using X-ray to …

Belt-positioning boosters (BPB) may prevent submarining in novel seating configurations
such as seats with reclined seatbacks. However, several knowledge gaps in the motion of …

The THOR 5th percentile female dummy (THOR-05F) was evaluated for two seating
postures/positions in frontal impacts using a generic automotive seat environment. The …

Objective: One potential nonstandard seating configuration for vehicles with automated
driving systems (ADS) is a reclined seat that is rear-facing when in a frontal collision. There …

This paper describes the development of THUMS Version 7 which is a virtual human body
model (HBM) to be used for simulating impact kinematics and injuries of occupants …

Objective The first objective was to evaluate the effect of using less censored (ie, exact and
interval-censored) data on thoracic injury risk curves and the resulting injury probabilities …

In recent post-mortem human subjects (PMHS) studies in a high-speed rear-facing frontal
impact (HSRFFI), the PMHS sustained multiple rib fractures. The seatback structure and …

THOR 5th percentile female dummy was evaluated in a well-controlled 30 km/h frontal
impact test condition that utilized a 9g deceleration and 3-point force-limited restraint. The …

As future intelligent vehicles are gradually brought into use, the vehicle driving scenario may
show a predictable and highly diversified trend, which introduces a new challenge to the …
