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 objectives of this study were to derive lower neck injury metrics/criteria and injury risk
curves for the force, moment, and interaction criterion in rear impacts for females …

Historically, the rear-impact mode has received most attention in the context of low-speed rear-
end crashes, but in th Page 1 Abstract Historically, the rear-impact mode has received most …

Objective: The objectives of this study are to propose a new instrumentation technique for
measuring cervical spine kinematics, validate it, and apply the instrumentation technique to …

ABSTRACT SAE J211 provides no definitive specification as to the appropriate procedures
for filtering angular rate sensor data prior to differentiation into angular acceleration data …

One potential nonstandard seating configuration for vehicles with automated driving systems
(ADS) is a reclined seat that is rear facing in a frontal collision. However, there are very …

Objective Occupant kinematics and biomechanical responses are assessed with and
without pretensioning of normally seated and out-of-position front-seat occupants in rear …

In a previous study, a comparison of cervical spine kinematics between a current rear impact
dummy, BioRID II, and post mortem human subjects (PMHS) was made by subjecting them …

Objective: This study analyzed thoracic and lumbar spine responses with in-position and out-
of-position (OOP) seated dummies in 40.2 km/h (25 mph) rear sled tests with conventional …

Corridors for the biofidelity of blunt impact to the back are important for sled and crash
testing with Anthropomorphic Test Devices (ATDs). The Hybrid III is used in rear sled tests as …
