Abstract
ABSTRACTOptimal deceleration being defined as the fastest deceleration possible, without breaching any injury criteria, is the ultimate goal for automotive safety systems. Here, the optimal deceleration in a generic side impact set-up will be presented for three different models of the human body, commonly used in vehicle safety. Various forms of surrogate models for the human body are used in the development of automotive safety systems. Traditional crash test dummies developed for real crash tests also exist as simulation models. Modern human body models, digital surrogate models directly derived from the human body, offer more insight and higher biofidelity. A finite element model and a multibody model of a second generation European Side Impact dummy (ES-2re) will be compared to the Total Human Model for Safety (THUMS) through the method of optimal deceleration. This method can also be used to facilitate the design of safety systems for next generation dummy models.
