Abstract
Crash pulse is an acceleration curve measured in the car during a crash test. The shape, time duration, and maximum acceleration of crash pulse may influence the predicted motion of the occupants. ...

Improving car safety means building more crashworthy vehicle structures and providing them with more effective restraint systems
The objective of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility of using crash pulse data to evaluate the crashworthiness of vehicle structures in frontal crash events
This study revealed a significant relationship between crash pulse curves and occupant injuries and demonstrated the feasibility of using crash pulse data to evaluate the crashworthiness of vehicle structures in frontal crash events
Summary
Improving car safety means building more crashworthy vehicle structures and providing them with more effective restraint systems. Car manufacturers incorporate a wide range of safety devices and features into their vehicles, including airbags, energy-absorbing steering columns, and side-door beams. As effective as these measures have been, the industry needs more efficient methodologies for assessing vehicle safety. In a crash test, sensing devices and crash test dummies are mounted in the car to measure the displacement, velocity, and acceleration at different points on the dummy or on the car structure. The data from such tests are widely used to assess vehicle crashworthiness and occupant safety
