Im Menschen wird auf verschiedenen Stoffwechselwegen Alkohol endogen im Körper gebildet. Die Literatur zu endogenen Ethanolspiegeln ist zum Teil widersprüchlich. Außerdem gibt es in der Literatur Hinweise auf ethnische Differenzen in der Höhe der endogenen Ethanolspiegel. In der neueren Literatur wird die Relevanz des endogenen Ethanols als Schutzbehauptung bei absolutem Alkoholverbot abgelehnt. Mittels moderner Analyseverfahren (GC-MS) sollte überprüft werden, ob unter normalen Bedingungen endogene Ethanolspiegel den Grenzwertbereich von 0,2 Promille tangieren. Bei den 49 Probanden ergab sich eine Größenordnung von 0,0016 Promille endogenem Ethanol für den Mittelwert. Die höchste Konzentration lag bei 0,0057 Promille endogenem Ethanol.
Streuung von Schutzkriterien in kontrollierten Aufprallversuchen gegen die starre 30 Grad-Barriere
(1983)
Gegenstand der Arbeit ist die Ermittlung von Streubreiten von Fahrzeug- und Dummy-Messwerten in Aufprallversuchen bei Geschwindigkeiten von 50 km/h gegen eine starre 30-°-Barriere. Zu den fahrzeugseitigen Messwerten gehörten die Deformation der Frontstruktur, die maximale Fahrzeugverzögerung, die mittlere Fahrzeugverzögerung und Anforderungen der ECE-Regelung 33. Die gemessenen Standardabweichungen der Einzelwerte lagen mit zwei bis sieben Prozent deutlich unter zehn Prozent. Höhere Standardabweichungen der Messwerte wurden dann beobachtet, wenn Aufpralle nach den Mustern Kopf-Lenkrad (Fahrer), Brust-Lenkrad (Fahrer) und Knie-Armaturentafel (Fahrer und Beifahrer) nicht in allen Versuchen zu beobachten sind. Hohe Streubreiten für die Kopfbeschleunigung bzw. die Beschleunigung der Brust des Dummy auf dem Fahrersitz wurden dadurch verursacht, dass in einem Versuch eine unübliche Vorverlagerung des Dummys infolge mangelhafter Gurtwirkung mit nachfolgendem Brust-Lenkrad-Kontakt zu beobachten war.
Validation of human pedestrian models using laboratory data as well as accident reconstruction
(2007)
Human pedestrian models have been developed and improved continually. This paper shows the latest stage in development and validation of the multibody pedestrian model released with MADYMO. The biofidelity of the multibody pedestrian model has been verified using a range of full pedestrian-vehicle impact tests with a large range in body sizes (16 male, 2 female, standing height 160-192cm, weight 53.5-90kg). The simulation results were objectively correlated to experimental data. Overall, the model predicted the measured response well. In particular the head impact locations were accurately predicted, indicated by global correlation scores over 90%. The correlation score for the bumper forces and accelerations of various body parts was lower (47-64%), which was largely attributed to the limited information available on the vehicle contact characteristics (stiffness, damping, deformation). Also, the effects of the large range in published leg fracture tolerances on the predicted risk to leg fracture by the pedestrian model were evaluated and compared with experimental results. The validated mid-size male model was scaled to a range of body sizes, including children and a female. Typical applications for the pedestrian models are trend studies to evaluate vehicle front ends and accident reconstructions. Results obtained in several studies show that the pedestrian models match pedestrian throw distances and impact locations observed in real accidents. Larger sets of well documented cases can be used to further validate the models especially for specific populations as for instance children. In addition, these cases will be needed to evaluate the injury predictive capability of human models. Ongoing developments include a so-called facet pedestrian model with a more accurate geometry description and a more humanlike spine and neck and a full FE model allowing more detailed injury analysis.
This study aimed to identify the occurrence, type and mechanisms of the traumatic injuries of the vulnerable road users in vehicle collisions, and to determine the effects of human, engineering, and environment factors on traffic accidents and injuries. The pedestrian accident cases were collected in the years 2000 to 2005 from Changsha Wujing hospital China and Accident Research Unit at Medical University Hannover in Germany. A statistic analysis was carried out using the collected accident data. The results from analysis of Changsha data were compared with results from analysis of GIDAS data Hannover. The injury severities were determined using AIS code and ISS values. The results were presented in terms of cause of injuries, injury distributions, injury patterns, injury severity. The factors influenced the injury outcomes were proposed and discussed for the vehicle transport environment and road users. The results were discussed with regard to accident data collection, accident sampling and injury distributions etc. In the urban area of Changsha, motorcycles and passenger cars are most frequently involved in vehicle pedestrian accidents. Head and lower extremities injuries are the predominant types of pedestrian injuries. The pedestrian accidents were identified as vital issue in urban traffic safety and therefore a high priority should be given to this road user group in research of safe urban transportation. In Hannover area, cars are most frequently involved in traffic accidents, injured pedestrians are involved in road traffic of Germany in 13% of all causalities only in 2005 and have nearly the same number as motorcyclists, but the half of bicyclists.
