Comparison of Female and Male Post Mortem Human Subject Kinematic Responses and Injuries in Rear-Facing Seat Configurations in High-Speed Frontal Impacts
This study investigates female post-mortem human subject (PMHS) responses and injuries, comparing them to previously published data from male PMHS tested at a change in velocity (delta-V) of 56 kph in high-speed rear-facing frontal- impa...

Female PMHS Thoracic Biomechanical Response Corridors with Preliminary Consideration of the Influence of Breast Tissue in Frontal Impacts
Thoracic injuries are common for belted occupants in frontal motor vehicle crashes. However, there remains a lack of female post-mortem human subject (PMHS) data in the literature to generate female-specific biomechanical response corrid...

Comparison of Concussion Risk Functions Generated from Two Different Datasets
To estimate risk of concussion, risk functions based on injuries occurring in sports are often used. A range of datasets have been used to develop injury risk functions for concussion based on either global kinematics or tissue-level pre...

Influence of Joint Structure in Multibody Model on Behavior Analysis of Crash Test Dummy
This study developed a new multibody model that accurately represents the collision behavior of crash test dummies using PC-Crash. The model replicates the shape and weight of an actual dummy. To investigate the influence of joint struct...

Occupant Sex Equity and Vehicle Safety: Historical Activities, Research, and Countermeasure
Since 2019, sex equity in traffic crashes has been a highly debated topic in vehicle safety, especially following the 2019 study by Forman et al. (1) claiming that female occupants face a 73 percent greater risk of serious injury in fron...

PMHS Sled Testing of Reclined Small Female Occupants: Pelvic Dynamics and Injury Evaluation
As automated vehicle technologies enable increased seat recline angles during travel, understanding the biomechanics of injury under these novel occupant postures becomes imperative. This study evaluated the pelvis injury response and as...

Traumatic Brain Injury in Vulnerable Road Users: Analysis of German In-Depth Crash Data to Inform Targeted Prevention
Road traffic crashes are a major cause of traumatic brain injury (TBI), particularly among vulnerable road users (VRUs). However, current injury prevention strategies often overlook the heterogeneity of TBI—which include various injury t...

Quantifying Naturalistic Changes in Occupant Postures in Belt-Positioning Booster Seats Utilizing Pressure Mats
Belt-positioning booster seats (BPBs) help promote proper seat belt fit for children in vehicles. The effectiveness of BPBs depends on occupant posture, which can be influenced by BPB design features. This study aimed to quantitatively d...

Pedestrian Injury Case Reconstruction through Data Fusion and Machine Learning
The proportion of pedestrian injuries in motor-vehicle-crash-induced injuries in the U.S. has been increasing in recent years. Although extensive police-reported data on pedestrian injuries is available, the incomplete nature of the cras...
