  2. 11. Integration of car and road infrastructure design : crash severity and occupant injury risk evaluations in frontal real-world crashes

    Author : Anders Ydenius; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : During the last decade, traffic safety has not only been a matter of vehicle crashworthiness but an increasing interest can also be observed in the integration between vehicle and road infrastructure design. Research projects with a focus on merging these areas are however in their infancy. READ MORE

  4. 12. Fatal car crash configurations and injury panorama : with special emphasis on the function of restraint system

    Author : Mats Lindquist; Ulf Björnstig; Anders Kullgren; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : Surgery; Deep studies; fatal crashes; small overlap; human FE-modeling; body kinematics; real life safety; Kirurgi; kirurgi; Surgery;

    Abstract : Background: Most traffic safety research projects require accurate real world data which is collected in different databases around the world. This is especially important since the results of these projects form the basis for new crash test procedures and standards. READ MORE

  5. 13. Prevention and prediction of head and neck injury in traffic accidents - using experimental and numerical methods

    Author : Peter Halldin; KTH; []
    Keywords : Head injuries; neck injuries; prevention; roll-over; motorcycle; helmet;

    Abstract : Injuries to the head and neck system are potentially amongthe most serious injuries in humans, since they may damage thespinal cord. It is therefore important to develop safetysystems that can prevent injuries to the neuro- system, therebyreducing human suffering and costs to society. READ MORE

  6. 14. Car safety for children aged 4-12 : real world evaluations of long-term injury outcome, head injury causation scenarios, misuse, and pre-crash manoeuvre kinematics

    Author : Katarina Bohman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Child casualties in car crashes have decreased over the years. Nevertheless, occupant safety in rear seats, especially for children 4-12 years old, needs further attention because motor vehicle crashes remain the leading cause of death and long-term health consequences for children.

  7. 15. A New Shoulder for the THOR Dummy Intended for Oblique Collisions

    Author : Fredrik Törnvall; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Shoulder; Shoulder range-of-motion; Volunteers; Kinematics; Biofidelity; Post Mortem Human Subjects; THOR; Crash test dummy; Oblique collision;

    Abstract : Offset and oblique frontal car collisions represent a type of crash in which severe and fatal injuries frequently occur. This indicates the importance of having protective systems in vehicles for these types of collisions. READ MORE
