The development of SAFER's human body model continues - step IV has been granted
SAFER continues its successful work on developing one of the world's leading tools for human body modeling than can be used for crash simulation.
The recently granted project A-HBM Step 4 follows the recently completed project A-HBM Step 3, in which muscle activation methodology was developed and implemented recreating occupant motion in braking and steering maneuvers. The overall aim of the new project is to develop omni-directional models for the whole crash sequence enabling evaluation of collision mitigation and crash technologies using the same tool. The main focus is to also include vertical pre-crash movements. In this project, validation data for vertical movements will be created, and together with data from the A-HBM 3 project, used for validating the model.
Lotta Jakobsson, Research area director for Human body protection says: “SAFER's human body model is world-leading and the ambition is to continue to perform cutting edge research and development in this area”.
The project, which extends over the period from April 1st 2018 to March 31st 2021, is funded by FFI and the total budget is 11.9 MSEK. The project will include a PhD and a postdoc. SAFER's partners are Volvo Cars, Chalmers and Autoliv. Also Dynamore participates in the project.
