abstract="Vehicle acceleration and passenger compartment intrusion primarily determine car occupant injury risk.  A new integrated vehicle-occupant model was developed and validated to predict these vehicle responses in offset, concentrated or full-width impact with various objects.  The multi-body mathematical model consisted of a compartment, dash-panel and toepan-area and a front structure.  The front structure was subdivided in 12 segments and a power train, which were connected to the firewall by kinematic joints.<br />",
