Abstract

Increasingly, automakers are relying on computer simulations of accidents to develop safer cars more quickly and efficiently. During the past ten years, increased computer speed and sophisticated software have advanced crash simulation to a high degree of reliability. The use of computers in simulations is increasing and revolutionizing the way vehicles are designed. In the future, software dummies will become more detailed, mimicking human physiology and providing data that standard crash test dummies can not, rollover accidents will be simulated, multivehicle crashes will be visually displayed and smart safety systems will be evaluated. The role of the computer in automotive safety research will allow automakers to be able to carry out the massive experimentation necessary to design, produce and implement complex safety devices easier and more cost efficiently than traditional methods.
