Optimal performance of adaptive restraint systems in the vehicle requires an accurate assessment of occupant characteristics including physical properties and pre-collision …
J Östh, K Brolin, D Bråse - Traffic injury prevention, 2015 - Taylor & Francis
Objective: The aim of this work is to study driver and passenger kinematics in autonomous braking scenarios, with and without pretensioned seat belts, using a whole-body finite …
A total of 34 dynamic matched frontal sled tests were performed, 17 low (2.5 g, Δv= 4.8 kph) and 17 medium (5.0 g, Δv= 9.7 kph), with five male human volunteers of approximately 50th …
The objectives of this study are to generate validation data for human models intended for simulation of occupant kinematics in a pre-crash phase, and to evaluate the effect of an …
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 …
