Bolech, M. (author), Foster, D.L. (author), de Lange, R. (author), Rodarius, C. (author)Within the departments Environmentally Sustainable Transport and Automotive of TNO (Netherlands organisation for applied scientific research) several projects investigating safety aspects of electric vehicles have been conducted, including one in cooperation with KEMA and RDW of the Netherlands. Most attention in these projects was given to cars...conference paper 2010

van Hassel, E. (author), Huijskens, C.G. (author), TNO Wegtransportmiddelen (author)Following the FAR/JAR 25-562 1 , the DYNASAFE RTD programme was started in order to develop a crashworthy 16 g seat. This paper describes the simulation of this seat and occupants using MADYMO 2,3,4 multibody and finite element techniques. These simulations are capable of showing the seat and occupant loads and kinematics and floor reaction...conference paper 2000

Happee, R. (author), Morsink, P.L.J. (author), van der Horst, M.J. (author), Wismans, J.S.H.M. (author), TNO Wegtransportmiddelen (author)Mathematical modelling is widely used for crash-safety research and design. However, most occupant models used in crash simulations are based on crash dummies and thereby inherit their apparent limitations. This paper describes a mathematical model of the real human body for impact loading. A combination of modelling techniques is applied using...conference paper 1999

Nastic, T. (author), Schoofs, A.J.G. (author), Mooi, H.G. (author), TNO Wegtransportmiddelen (author)Nowadays traffic safety and occupant protection get a lot of attention due to the large number of fatalities and injuries in car accidents. The occupant protection in two-vehicle crashes can be improved by car-to-car compatibility, which means well balanced crashworthiness characteristics of both cars. The aim of this project (part of an...article 1999

Verschut, R. (author), Hyun, Y.W. (author), TNO Wegtransportmiddelen (author)The last 10 years the safety issue for road vehicles has become increasingly important. Not only regulations but also NCAP testing force manufacturers to develop restraint systems which can meet the stringent criteria set by these procedures. Because of the various safety requirements the development of restraint systems has become very cost...conference paper 1998
