The criteria, such as the maximum deflection or a combination of parameters including the difference between the chest right and left deflections, were all developed based on given samples of Post Mortem Human Subject (PMHS). However, they were not validated against independent data and they are not always consistent with the observations from field data analysis. For this reason, 8 additional PMHS and matching THOR tests were carried out to assess the ability of the criteria to predict risks. Accident investigations showed that a reduction of the belt loads reduces the risk of rib fractures. Two configurations with different levels of force limitation were therefore chosen. A configuration representing an average European vehicle was chosen as a reference. It consists of a 3-point belt with a 3.5 kN and then 2 kN digressive limiter, combined with a 54-liter airbag. For better reproducibility and durability, the tests were performed with a pre-inflated bag and a semi-rigid seat. In this first configuration, the THOR dummy had a maximum resulting deflection of 43 mm. To differentiate the criteria, the second configuration was chosen such that it resulted in about the same deflection on the THOR dummy, but with a 5 kN belt force limitation combined with a lower pressure airbag. To reach this target of 43 mm, the pulse severity was lowered. Some criteria were higher in this second configuration, which allows them to be distinguished from the maximum deflection criterion. Four tests on four PMHS were performed in each configuration. The injury assessments showed that the total number of fractures was almost the same in both configurations, but that the number of separated fractures was greater in the 5 kN configuration. 25% of the subjects sustained AIS >3 injuries related to the number of displaced fractures in the 3.5/2 kN load limitation configuration. The result increased to 75% in the 5kN configuration. In total, 8 PMHS and the matching THOR tests were performed and used to assess the ability of the thoracic criteria to predict rib fractures in 2 types of chest loading configurations. The test results did not allow to conclude on the relevance of the criteria measured on the THOR dummy for the total number of rib fractures identified at autopsy (NFR). However, clearly different assessments for separated rib fractures (NSFR), make it possible to differentiate the criteria.

The detection of human subjects was evaluated under front-facing and side-facing conditions behind each vehicle. The results indicate that for a front-facing and side-facing child, the center sensor detection distances were 50-84% and 32-64%, respectively, shorter than that of the pipe. For front-facing and side-facing adults, the center sensor detection distances were just less than or roughly equivalent to that of the pipe at 89-102% and 78-97%, respectively. A similar trend was seen for the corner sensors. Notably, under the side-facing condition, the sensor detection distances were slightly shorter for all subjects than under the front-facing condition. These results reveal that ultrasonic parking sensor systems can not only detect objects but also humans, indicating that ultrasonic sensors are an available countermeasure to prevent backover accidents involving pedestrians. To address the shorter detection distance of children, a combination of ultrasonic parking sensors with other systems, such as backup cameras, may be more effective for avoiding backover collisions.</p>","PeriodicalId":35289,"journal":{"name":"Stapp car crash journal","volume":"63 ","pages":"343-358"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"37853287","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Finally, localized skull deformation was observed during severe impacts; the effect that this deformation had on measured kinematics should be further evaluated.

Since the 2000's, it has also been used by NATO armies to assess the risk of injury to armored vehicles occupants submitted to an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) attack. The resulting loading conditions from an explosion can vary a lot in term of impact velocity and duration. They range from <i>high velocity impacts</i> (~28 m/s), characterized by a short duration (~10 ms) corresponding to cases where the panel deforms under an explosion, to <i>low velocity impacts</i> (~4 m/s), ch aracterized by a long duration (~50 ms) similar to the automotive domain. The goal of the study is to develop a shoulder injury criterion for the EuroSID- 2re that is relevant over the whole loading conditions spectrum of the military domain. For that purpose, thirty-three laboratory ES-2re tests are conducted to replicate four PMHS shoulder impactor test series from the literature. Each test series corresponds to a different loading condition in term of impact velocity and duration: [28 m/s, 3 ms], [14 m/s, 9 ms], [7 m/s, 30 ms], [4 m/s, 50 ms]. The injury result (AIS 2015 scale) of each PMHS test is paired with the shoulder sensor force response signal of the corresponding ES-2re test, resulting in a sample of 75 paired-data. The proposed injury criterion resulting from the sample analysis is the straightened peak force Fs, which is an estimate of the peak of the external force applied to the shoulder. This criterion combines two metrics from the response signal of the shoulder force sensor Y-axis of the ES-2re ATD: the initial slope (S) and the peak (F<sub>max</sub>). The threshold value for a given injury risk depends on the duration of the impact: it is higher for the shorter duration. Thus, a third metric should be extracted from the ES-2re shoulder load cell: the duration of the force T. The present study proposes three force-duration threshold curves Fs=f(T) for low, medium, and high risks of shoulder AI2+ injury.</p>","PeriodicalId":35289,"journal":{"name":"Stapp car crash journal","volume":"63 ","pages":"147-176"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"37852845","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Force and displacement for individual ribs were used to develop new scaling factors, with a traditional mid-size biomechanical target as a baseline response.
