Humanetics Designs test-old crash Model to better protect vulnerable drivers.
PLYMOUTH, Mich - BUSINESS WIRE in recent decades exploring developments have given rise to very advanced as THOR and WorldSID models for frontal and side impact applications like their predecessors, however, these models are always based on the anthropometry of what was considered a healthy, average male medium size and a small adult female population in the 1970s, in recent decades, however, the conduct of population has changed significantly in age and weight; The lifestyles and medical promotion evolve over time, the baby boomers of the industrialized world are now 65 and older and often overweight, and even lead and lead active lives.
Statistically, there were more than 40 million holders of older drivers license aged 65 and over in the United States in 2015 US Department of Transportation, which represents 18 4 - almost one in five drivers - on American roads in 2014, over 5,700 elderly people were killed and more than 236,000 were treated in emergency rooms for injuries due to motor vehicle accidents This equates to 16 elderly people were killed and 648 injured in collisions average each day.
It should not be a surprise that anatomically, a senior is built very differently compared to someone younger, and therefore probably will support very different injuries in an accident In response, Humanetics launched a project to realize the design of DAE to reflect the anthropometry of a driver aged little old woman 70 years using research by ICAM International Center for automotive medicine and UMTRI University of Michigan Transportation research Institute using data provided by anthropomorphic UMTRI, some physical evidence of the little female WorldSID coupled with a new design concept of organ systems, the elderly DAE allow more accurate measurements of internal injuries sustained in an automobile accident for this specific group occupying the demographics of the population driving continues to evolve, our crash test dummies and the test that we design the production equipment must continue to keep pace, says Christopher COJ ONNOR, CEO of Humanetics Let not forget the most vulnerable drivers on the road and to provide a product that automobile manufacturers, government agencies and worldwide research groups can use to design and test a car safer for people of all sizes and ages, he added.
To understand the dynamic properties of human internal organs such as the liver and spleen, Humanetics works closely with ICAM to define anatomical features and verify the performance characteristics with feedback from injury in the real world The condition, size and as an individual is extremely important in the severity of their injuries in a given accident, trauma surgeon Michigan medical Stewart Wang, MD Ph D States to better understand the charging parameters and organ responses, the working comparison is also underway to Humanetics using biological equivalent also applies Humanetics the first of its kind 3D printing technology on older people looking DAE and develop new methods of production that have more specific response characteristics on traditional manufacturing methods the.
Concerned about the safety of consumers will strongly consider star crash test in choosing a vehicle, but they may not always understand the AED used in government or consumer tests do not necessarily conform to their own body or age group and how it could potentially affect the result of an accident we are very pleased with the progress of safety devices in cars today that we have come a long way, but it can t stop until we eliminate fatal accidents on our roads worldwide said Mr. O Connor.
Alongside running initiatives in North America, Humanetics is also closely involved in research programs such as SENIORS Safety Improvement Innovations for Older usErs road project funded by the EU - to address similar concerns in type other parts of the world, it is objective Humanetics to collaborate with other security organizations around the world to develop products that best reflect the current population, as automobile manufacturers and retaining providers can use as tools research and design to build the safest cars possible for all occupants, regardless of body type and age.
