Motor vehicle collisions (MVCs) are a leading cause of acute spinal injuries. Chronic spinal pathologies are common in the population. Thus, determining the incidence of different …
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 …

Objective: Active safety devices such as automatic emergency brake (AEB) and precrash seat belt have the potential to accomplish further reduction in the number of the fatalities due …
Computational models of the human neck have been developed to assess human response in impact scenarios; however, the assessment and validation of such models is often limited …
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 …
Whole-Sequence simulations consisting of a pre-crash manoeuvre and a crash scenario were carried out to investigate th Page 1 Abstract Whole-Sequence simulations consisting of a …
Continued development of computational models and biofidelic anthropomorphic test devices (ATDs) necessitates further analysis of the effects of bracing on an occupant's …
