• Analysis of Kinematic Response of Pediatric Occupants Seated in Naturalistic Positions in Simulated Frontal Small Offset Impacts: With and Without Automatic Emergency Braking
  Authors: Jalaj Maheshwari, Shreyas Sarfare, and Aditya Belwadi—Center for Injury Research and Prevention, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia; Clayton Falciani—Center for Injury Research and Prevention, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia/School of Computing and Informatics, Drexel University Abstract Naturalistic driving studies have shown that pediatric occupants do not assume ideal seating positions in…
• Application of Deep Learning Methods for Pedestrian Collision Detection Using Dashcam Videos
  Authors: Shouhei Kunitomi and Shinichi Takayama—Japan Automobile Research Institute; Masayuki Shirakawa—Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association, Inc. Abstract The goal of this study is to clarify the usefulness of deep learning methods for pedestrian collision detection using dashcam videos for advanced automatic collision notification, focusing on pedestrians, as they make up the…
• Biomechanical Responses and Injury Assessment of Post Mortem Human Subjects in Various Rear-facing Seating Configurations

Agnew and John H. Bolte IV—Injury Biomechanics Research Center, The Ohio State University; Alena Hagedorn, Colton Thomas and Hyun Jung Kwon—Transportation Research…
• Effects of Technology on Drivers’ Behavior during Backing Maneuvers
  Authors: Yasuhiro Matsui—National Traffic Safety and Environment Laboratory, Japan; Shoko Oikawa—Tokyo Metropolitan University, Japan Abstract This paper examines how vehicle backing technologies affect driver performance during backing maneuvers. We conducted experiments using sport utility vehicles (SUV) with four technological variations: a baseline vehicle (B-L), a vehicle equipped with a parking…
• Evaluation of Rotation Reduction Features in Infant and Extended-Use Convertible Child Restraint Systems during Frontal and Rear Impacts
  Authors: Declan A. Patton, Aditya N. Belwadi, and Jalaj Maheshwari—Center for Injury Research and Prevention, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia; Kristy B. Arbogast—Center for Injury Research and Prevention, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia/Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania Abstract A correctly used child restraint system (CRS) is associated with a substantial…
• Geometrical and Mechanical Characterization of the Abdominal Fold of Obese Post Mortem Human Subjects for Use in Human Body Modelling
  Authors: Matthieu Lebarbé—CEESAR (France); Philippe Beillas, Tomas Janak, and Yoann Lafon—Univ Lyon, Univ Claude Bernard Lyon 1, Univ Gustave Eiffel, IFSTTAR, LBMC UMR_T 9406 (F-69622 Lyon, France); Olivier Richard—Faurecia Automotive Seating (France); Philippe Petit—LAB PSA Peugeot Citroën Renault (France) Abstract Obese vehicle occupants sustain specific injury patterns in case of…
• Kinematic and Injury Response of Reclined PMHS in Frontal Impacts
  Authors: Rachel Richardson, John-Paul Donlon, Mohan Jayathirtha, Jason L. Forman, Greg Shaw, Bronislaw Gepner, and Jason R. Kerrigan—University of Virginia Center for Applied Biomechanics; Martin Östling, Krystoffer Mroz, and Bengt Pipkorn—Autoliv Development AB Abstract Frontal impacts with reclined occupants are rare but severe, and they are anticipated to become more…
• Variations in User Implementation of the CORA Rating Metric
  Author: Devon L. Albert — Center for Injury Biomechanics, Department of Biomedical Engineering and Mechanics, Virginia Tech Abstract The CORA rating metric is frequently used in the field of injury biomechanics to compare the similarity of response time histories. However, subjectivity exists within the CORA metric in the form of…
