Abstract and keywords

A series of vehicle‐based driving maneuvers was performed, where occupants in the passenger position were subjected to emergency braking maneuvers at 12 km/h and 50 km/h, lane change maneuvers to the left and the right and combined maneuvers, where a combination of lateral and frontal accelerations occurred. A comprehensive collection of vehicle and occupant kinematic corridors based on results from 6 female (mass: 63.0±10.4 kg, height: 169.0±4.1 cm, age: 31.5±9.3 y) and 19 male (mass: 77.8±8.4 kg, height: 178.2±5.0 cm, age: 28.2±3.8 y) subjects are presented.

Asymmetries in the response as well as the detailed kinematics are discussed for selected load cases, before results of various maneuvers are related to each other.

Keywords: Combined maneuver, emergency braking, lane change maneuver, low g vehicle test, occupant kinematics
