Evaluation of an active multi-body human model for braking and frontal crash events

conference paper
Active safety systems that start to act moments before the crash might be capable of anticipating the occupant’s position, either by correcting it, or by taking the out-of-position into account. For the
development and evaluation of such active safety systems, recently a run-time efficient multidirectional computer human model that can simulate active as well as passive human behaviour has been developed. The objective of this study was to evaluate this so-called active human model for simulations of braking followed by a frontal crash.
