TY - JOUR PY - 1993// TI - Improvements in the atb/cvs (articulated total body model/crash victim simulator) body dynamics model JO - Proceedings: International Technical Conference on the Enhanced Safety of Vehicles A1 - Fleck, J.t. SP - 974 EP - 976 VL - 1993 IS - N2 - The Articulated Total Body Model/Crash Victim Simulator (ATB/CVS) is a three dimensional model used to study human and/or dummy biomechanics in various crash situations. This paper gives a short description of the new features of the model. These include: (1) an increase in the number of segments; (2) a mass-flow inflation algorithm for the airbag; and (3) an automatic point generator for the harness (seatbelt) routines. The new features allow one to model, for example, an airbag attached to a collapsible steering column. This paper gives a short description of the new features.
