Konosu 1 DEVELOPMENT OF A BIOFIDELIC PEDESTRIAN LEGFORM IMPACTOR - INTRODUCTION OF JAMA-JARI LEGFORM IMPACTOR Ver. 2002 -
The Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association, Inc., (JAMA) and the Japan Automobile Research Institute (JARI) are collaborating to develop a biofidelic pedestrian legform impactor because the current major pedestrian legform impactor, the Transport Research Laboratory (TRL) legform impactor, lacks biofidelity. JAMA and JARI have been developing a biofidelic legform impactor since 2000. This r...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Biofidelic 'Legform' Impact Test Device
Current EuroNCAP test specifications attempt to predict pedestrian lower limb injury in a lateral impact with a rigid legform test device developed by the UK's TRL (Transportation Research Lab). Research shows that the measurements taken from this device (knee bending angle, knee shear, and upper tibia acceleration) do not necessarily correspond to accurate injury prediction. Recent research su...
متن کاملBiofidelity of Test Devices and Validity of Injury Criteria for Evaluating Knee Injuries to Pedestrians
In the current test procedure proposed by the European Enhanced Vehicle-safety Committee (EEVC) /WG17 for evaluating leg injuries to pedestrians, a legform impactor with a rigid bony structure is used. The risk of damages to knee ligaments is evaluated with the shearing displacement and the bending angle at the knee joint. A recent study has focused on evaluating biofidelity of the legform. How...
متن کاملNext generation pharmaceutical impactor (a new impactor for pharmaceutical inhaler testing). Part I: Design.
A new cascade impactor has been designed specifically for pharmaceutical inhaler testing. This impactor, called the Next Generation Pharmaceutical Impactor (NGI), has seven stages and is intended to operate at any inlet flow rate between 30 and 100 L/min. It spans a cut size (D50) range from 0.54-microm to 11.7-microm aerodynamic diameter at 30 L/min and 0.24 microm to 6.12 microm at 100 L/min....
متن کاملActive Pedestrian Protection
Vulnerable road users, especially pedestrians, are more susceptible to fatal and serious injury compared with vehicle occupants. Although the frequency of accidents involving pedestrians has reduced in recent years, there are still approximately 800 pedestrians killed and 7,000 seriously injured every year in Great Britain. Furthermore, in the late nineties, more than 6,000 pedestrians were fat...
