  2. 11. Head kinematics in car–pedestrian crashes: The influence of sliding, spine bending, elbow and shoulder impacts

    Author : Ruth Paas; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Human Body Model; shoulder; kinematics; pedestrian; THUMS; spine; PMHS; head;

    Abstract : In vehicle–pedestrian crashes, head injuries account for an overwhelming percentage of all severe and fatal injuries. These injuries are caused by the linear acceleration and rotation of the head. To mitigate head injuries, tools such as Human Body Models (HBMs) are used in the development and evaluation of pedestrian safety systems. READ MORE
