- Comparison of Adult Female and Male PMHS Pelvis and Lumbar Response to Underbody BlastAuthors: Hollie Pietsch—US Army DEVCOM Ground Vehicle Systems Center, Wayne State University; Danielle Cristino, Matthew Mason, Andrew Kemper, and Warren Hardy—Virginia Tech, Center for Injury Biomechanics; Kerry Danelson—Wake Forest School of Medicine, Department of Orthopedic Surgery; John Bolte IV —The Ohio State University; John Cavanaugh—Wayne State University, Department of Biomedical…
- Driving Behavior during Left-Turn Maneuvers at Intersections on Left-Hand Traffic RoadsAuthor: Yasuhiro Matsui and Masashi Narita—National Traffic Safety and Environment Laboratory, Japan; Shoko Oikawa—Tokyo Metropolitan University, Japan Abstract Understanding left-turn vehicle-pedestrian accident mechanisms is critical for developing accident-prevention systems. This study aims to clarify the features of driver behavior focusing on drivers’ gaze, vehicle speed, and time to collision (TTC)…
- Evaluation of DAMAGE Algorithm in Frontal CrashesAuthors: Priya Prasad—Prasad Engineering, Inc.; Saeed D. Barbat and Anil Kalra—Ford Motor Company; Dainius Dalmotas—D.J. Dalmotas Consulting, Inc. Abstract With the current trend of including the evaluation of the risk of brain injuries in vehicle crashes due to rotational kinematics of the head, two injury criteria have been introduced since…
- Examination of Crash Injury Risk as a Function of Occupant DemographicsAuthors: Dainius Dalmotas, Aline Chouinard, Jean-Louis Comeau, Alan German, Glenn Robbins—D.J. Dalmotas Consulting, Inc.; Priya Prasad—Prasad Engineering, Inc. Abstract The objectives of this study were to provide insights on how injury risk is influenced by occupant demographics such as sex, age, and size; and to quantify differences within the context…
- Frontal-Crash Occupant Protection in the Rear Seat: Submarining and Abdomen/Pelvis Response in Midsized Male SurrogatesAuthors: Allison J. Guettler, Samuel T. Bianco, Devon L. Albert, David M. Boyle, Andrew R. Kemper, and Warren N. Hardy—Virginia Tech, Center for Injury Biomechanics Abstract Frontal-crash sled tests were conducted to assess submarining protection and abdominal injury risk for midsized male occupants in the rear seat of modern vehicles….
- Investigation of THOR-AV 5F Biofidelity in Sled Test Conditions with A Semi-Rigid SeatAuthors: Z. Jerry Wang—Humanetics Innovative Solutions, Inc.; John Humm and Hans W. Hauschild—Medical College of Wisconsin Abstract THOR-AV 5F, a modified THOR-5F dummy, was designed to represent both upright and reclined occupants in vehicle crashworthiness studies. The dummy was evaluated in four test conditions: a) 25° seatback, 15 km/h, b)…
- Machine-Learning-Accelerated Simulations for the Design of Airbag Constrained by Obstacles at RestAuthors: José E. Valenzuela del Río, Elena Arvanitis, and Lucia Mirabella—Siemens Technology, United States; Richard Lancashire, Karan Chatrath, and Peter Ritmeijer—Siemens Industry Software, Netherlands Abstract Predicting airbag deployment geometries is an important task for airbag and vehicle designers to meet safety standards based on biomechanical injury risk functions. This prediction…
