Objective: Highly reclined postures may be common among passengers in future automated
vehicles. A laboratory study was conducted to address the need for posture and belt fit in …

Objective Recent studies have suggested that a relationship exists between crash injury risk
and occupant posture, particularly in postures different from those used with …

The increased incidence of injury demonstrated in epidemiological data for the elderly
population, and females compared to males, has not been fully understood in the context of …

Presently, most passive safety tests are performed with a precisely specified seat position
and carefully seated ATD (anthropomorphic test device) dummies. Facing the development …

The injury risk in a vehicle crash can depend on occupant specific factors. Virtual crash
testing using finite element human body models (HBMs) to represent occupant variability …

This study investigates the response of standing passengers on public transport who
experience balance perturbations during non-collision incidents. The objective of the study …

This study looks at the importance of ergonomics in transportation as well as the
contributions of the human factors and ergonomics (HFE), human computer interface (HCI) …

Smart functions in vehicles have led to an increase in the complexity of control interfaces.
This study aims to develop a model for evaluating in-vehicle controller complexity and to …

Belt positioning boosters reduce injury risk for child occupants compared with seat belts
alone. While boosters shorten the effective seat length (and thus reduce …

The sensitivity of occupant kinematic and kinetic crash responses to anthropometric and
seat adjustment variation was investigated by performing frontal-and side-impact …
