MODELLING PASSENGER HUMAN MODEL BEHAVIOR IN THE CASE OF REAR IMPACT

Abstract

Improving of the vehicle inner passive safety is a matter of utmost topical, which entails taking specific steps in order to reduce the consequences of the traffic events. The collision between two vehicles represents an elasto-plastic crash. Consequently, no results can be obtained without taking into account the conservation law impulse or of the kinematic moment, in addition, provided trajectories motor vehicles are almost parallel, methods graphic giving no satisfaction. Mathematical modeling of passenger movement during head impact may be a success "tool" in establishing mechanism of the neck injury, especially when working in parallel with experimental studies.
