Examination of Rollover Crash Mechanisms and Occupant Outcomes
نویسنده
چکیده
Background A void in real-world rollover data compilation was fi lled in 2002 with the release of “Characteristics of Fatal Rollover Crashes” (DOT HS 809 438.) Using the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS), DOT HS 809 438 examined an important segment of the rollover population. It was shown in the referenced report that, generally, those without restraint and subject to ejection are the most vulnerable.

متن کاملPraxl 1 SIMULATION OF OCCUPANT KINEMATICS IN VEHICLE ROLLOVER - DUMMY MODEL VERSUS HUMAN MODEL
Two different rollover crash scenarios were simulated with the software Madymo. The vehicle kinematics in the numerical simulation were prescribed by the use of sensor signals of real crash tests. The Madymo 50% Hybrid III dummy model as well as the Madymo human model was applied to these simulations and the model kinematics were analysed and compared. Differences in the kinematics of human and...
متن کاملPediatric occupant-vehicle contact maps in rollover motor vehicle crashes.
OBJECTIVE Rollover crashes account for more than 33% of all motor vehicle-related fatalities and have the highest fatality risk of all crash types, at 1.37% in the United States. There is increased awareness of the high fatality rate associated with this crash type, but there is very limited pediatric-specific data related to rollover crashes in the United States. Recent focus on rollover mitig...

Rollover is not the most common type of accident, but the consequences may be serious. Understanding of the injury mechanisms during the complex rollover movement is limited and requires further investigation. ln-depth investigations of 21 Volvo cars involved in rollover crashes were analysed with regards to cause and outcome. Detailed information was examined about the crash scenario, the road...
متن کاملBiomechanical Simulation for Evaluation of Alternative Rollover Occupant Protection System Designs
The evaluation of the biomechanical performance that can be expected from alternative designs for restrained occupant rollover protection was approached through the use of finite element modeling. Finite element models of vehicle designs and the Hybrid III dummy were used to evaluate elements of alternative rollover occupant protection system designs. Results from rollover crash tests of a prod...
