Abstract |
Much recent research has been conducted on whiplash injury. However, little has focused on oblique or non-symmetrical rear impact loading and the attributes that a test device should have to detect injury risk, including responses to asymmetrical loading, which will be needed in a regulatory test device. A series of low speed, oblique rear impact tests has been conducted with volunteers and the RID(3D) dummy. Pure rear impact tests were also conducted with the RID(3D) to replicate previous tests using volunteers as well as the BioRIDIIb and THORĪ± dummies. The paper also reviews further issues that must be addressed for regulatory application. |
