Occupant simulation methods in the area of passive safety address usually the investigation and prediction of crash dummy behavior after the time of collision. The development and optimization of active and also pre-triggered passive safety systems [1] require new simulation methodology including improved occupant models [2][3] and data transfer possibility between pre-crash and crash phase of a crash event. Prediction of occupant behavior in the pre-crash phase is one important enabler for such a new occupant simulation methodology dealing with optimization of integrated safety systems.

In this work, a semi-automated method is developed for posture and velocity data transfer between pre-crash Active Human Body Model (AHBM) and in-crash Human Body Model (HBM) or dummies. In one use case the application of the developed method is shown.
