We welcome some new projects to SAFER!

The EU project SENIORS (Safety Enhanced Innovations for Older Road userS) aims to improve the safe mobility of the elderly, including obese, using an integrated approach and real-based knowledge that includes the main modes of transport as well as the particularities of this vulnerable road user group. SENIORS investigates and assesses the injury reduction that can be achieved through innovative tools and safety systems targeting the protection of the elderly as car occupants and external road users.  This project is an important contribution to Human body protection’s roadmap, specifically on Human body modelling, diversity and injury prediction.

Identification and Prediction of Injuries with Long Term Consequences

The FFI project Identification and Prediction of Injuries with Long Term Consequences aims to enhance understanding and evaluation of injuries leading to long term consequences with the purpose of developing countermeasure for enhanced protection. Specifically, the project targets to achieve an understanding of head and upper extremity injuries leading to long term consequences. The project will also gain an insight on the relevance of the ability of various head injury criteria to predict head injuries leading to long term consequences. This project is important for SAFER’s road map within Human body protection roadmap, especially for human body modelling, injury prediction and long term consequences.
