IRCOBI 2019 ongoing in Florence
Many SAFER researchers are currently participating in the annual IRCOBI (International Research Council on Biomechanics of Injury) in Florens, Italy. A total of 14 papers with SAFER authors, of which 9 as main authors, was presented on this important and influential event. These are linked to several different projects in SAFER's portfolio such as Assessment of Passenger Safety in Future Cars, Injury HBM, Active HBM, OSCCAR and VIRTUAL.
The day before the conference, a half-day workshop was held; Virtual Testing and Open Source Human Body Modeling; How to improve safety assessment using Virtual Testing and HBMs? - two projects, two approaches, organized by the two SAFER associated EU projects OSCCAR and VIRTUAL.
Several of SAFER's researchers participated in the workshop, some of which had key roles such as Astrid Linder, VTI and project manager for VIRTUAL. She was also one of the two meeting leaders and presented the VIRTUAL project. Lotta Jakobsson, Volvo Cars and SAFER’s Research area director for Human body protection, gave her views on Increasing HBM application - What are the needs and bottle necks from an industrial perspective?
Mats Svensson, Chalmers, Martin Östling, Autoliv, Astrid Linder, VTI and Lotta Jakobsson were leaders of the group discussions.
