Target
In 2015 a paper was presented about the occupant motion in the primary, secondary and tertiary phase of a pure lateral impact. Based on this paper a new study with more crash tests has been conducted and is still on work.... [ view full abstract ]
Methods and Equipment Used
The developed experimental setup for the isolated impact of the moving vehicle has been presented in 2015. This setup has been modified for oblique collisions. 42 volunteers were seated in a moving Smart Fortwo. The most... [ view full abstract ]
