Abstract and keywords

In order to design a safe road transport system, including almost all safety technologies, knowledge of the human injury tolerance and biomechanics is fundamental. It is important to understand the whole chain of events in a crash, how the impact speed relates to the injury outcome. Analyses of realworld car crashes are useful to gain such knowledge and to identify the effectiveness of safety technologies. Using dose-response models can be of great help in such work. The dose is the input, the impact severity, and the response is the injury outcome. The link deciding the response of the dose is the injury risk function.

The aims of this lecture are to present injury risk functions based on real-life frontal crashes with crash severity measured with on-board crash pulse recorders and to show how such information can be used in effectiveness studies using dose-response models, both regarding safety technology already introduced, but also regarding technologies to be introduced.

Keywords: injury probability; accelerations; velocity; crash recorder; EDR
