During the last 5 years, the number of cars fitted with side airbags has dramatically increased. They are now standard equipment, even on many smaller cars or less luxurious vehicles. While some side airbags offer thoracic protection alone, there are those that combine thoracic and head protection (of which most deploy from the seat). Other systems employ separate airbags for head and thorax protection, which are designed to be effective noticeably in a crash against a pole. This paper proposes an evaluation of the effectiveness of side airbags in preventing thoracic injuries to passenger car occupants involved in side crashes. First, the target population (who can take benefit of side airbag deployment and in what circumstances) is defined. Side airbags can be especially effective in cases of impacts on the door with intrusion at a certain impact speed. Then, an example case of a side impact with side airbag deployment is given were side airbag deployment is thought to have had a positive effect on injury outcome. A further case is presented where the impact configuration is likely to have reduced the effect of side airbag deployment on injury outcome. Finally, the estimation of side airbag effectiveness (in terms of additional occupant protection brought exclusively by the airbag) is proposed by comparing injury risk sustained by occupants in (more or less) similar cars (fitted or non fitted with airbags) because, during these years, car structure, and side airbag conception have considerably evolved. In-depth accident data from France, the UK and Germany has been collected. Out of 2,035 side impact accident cases available in the databases, we selected 435 occupants of passenger cars (built from 1998 onwards) involved in an injury accident between year 1998 and year 2004 for EES (Energy Equivalent Speed) values between 20km/h and 50km/h. The occupants, belted or not, were sat on the struck side, whatever the obstacle and type of accidents (intersection, loss of control, etc.). For multiple impact crashes, the side impact is assumed to be the more severe one. Passenger cars were fitted with (96) or without (339) side airbags. Most of the potential risk explanatory variables were correctly and reliably reported in the databases (velocity " impact zone " impact angle " occupant characteristics, etc.). The analysis compared injury risks for different levels of EES and different types of side airbags. A logistic regression model was also computed with injury variables (such as thoracic AIS 2+ or AIS 3+) as the dependant variable and other variables (including airbag type and EES) as explanatory injury risk factors. Results revealed statistically non-significant reductions in thoracic AIS 2+ and AIS 3+ injury risk in side airbag equipped cars in the impact violence range selected (odds ratio between 0.84 and 0.98 depending on types of airbags). The results are discussed. The non-significance is assumed to be due to a low number of cases. Statistical analysis for head injuries was not possible due to the low number of accident cases with passenger cars fitted with head airbags in the databases. Moreover, the discrepancies between the data coming from different countries (especially calculation of EES) might have introduced instability in the analysis.
Before 2002, France was in the queue of Europeans countries in terms of road safety results because of the low density of population and the faulty behaviour of French due itself to a very low level of traffic law enforcement Even if there were signs of the change of mind in France towards road safety before, the turning point was in summer 2002, when the President declared road safety as a priority work during his mandate. The more symbolic measure was the decision to settle an automatic speed control system (700 fixed and 300 mobile). Over three years, the average speed on French roads decreased by 5 km/h and the number of fatalities on road turned down from an average of 8000 deaths per year to 5 300, which represents a decrease of more than 34 %. For the next months, we anticipate that, as many drivers have kept loosing points on their driving licence through light speed violations, this will lead drivers to check their speed and the speed limits more systematically as loosing points on one's driving license has longer time effects than paying a fine. Consequently, we expect a decrease of 10 % to 15% of fatalities in 2006, which is a very good result if we compare with the trend of the last twenty five years (about 2,3 %). The reverse effect of this system that lies on the changes of behaviour of the majority is that, there is more and more discontent against the system taking into account that automatic speed control system allows only a minor tolerance above limits and that local speed limits are not always adapted to local infrastructure and traffic conditions. Another weakness of the system is that motorcyclists are too rarely caught by the system; the system is being gradually improved by placing the new speed cameras in position of taking photographs of the back of the vehicle. But this would not be sufficient to reduce the speed of motorcyclists that are a very high risk group (16% of fatalities for 0,8 % of traffic) For alcohol, there is no easy route for progress: all what is done nowadays is toward festive impaired driving (through designating sober drivers or mass alcohol preventive screenings) although there is not enough done towards chronic alcoholic driving.
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.
Mobil sein zählt zu den Grundbedürfnissen und im Rahmen des westlichen Wertesystems zu den Grundrechten von Menschen. Dies gilt umso mehr, je mobiler die Gesamtgesellschaft wird und je mehr Menschen im Zuge der demographischen Entwicklung zum Kreis der "älteren Menschen" zählen. Dementsprechend wertet der dritte Bericht zur Lage der älteren Generation in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland den Erhalt der Mobilität im Alter als Basis für die "Erschließbarkeit der verschiedensten Ressourcen der Außenwelt" und als "entscheidenden Faktor von Lebensqualität im Alter", d.h. Aufrechterhaltung der Unabhängigkeit der Lebensführung durch Bewahrung von Fertigkeiten inkl. der Ermutigung zur Mobilität spielt für Ältere eine besonders wichtige Rolle. Die Entwicklung von Interventionsansätzen zur Förderung einer lebenslangen, sicheren Mobilität älterer Menschen stellt eine gesamtgesellschaftliche Herausforderung dar. Dementsprechend lebendig ist die Diskussion über Möglichkeiten ältere Verkehrsteilnehmer/innen in der Erhaltung ihrer Mobilität zu unterstützen und die Forschungsaktivität auf diesem Gebiet. Im Vortrag werden u. a. folgende Bereiche thematisiert: - Senioren stellen keine homogene Gruppe dar; dieses gut erforschte Faktum gilt auch für ihr Mobilitätsverhalten, aber auch für das Risikoverhalten. Ältere Menschen sind durch ausgesprochene Vielfalt mobilitätsbezogener Erwartungen, Verhaltensmuster und Lebensstile charakterisiert. - Die gegenwärtig durchaus wachsende positive Bewertung und Einstellung gegenüber Alter und Altern muss bei der Entwicklung neuer Sicherheitsmodelle berücksichtigt werden, gar Vorteil sollte daraus gezogen werden. - Um höhere Straßenverkehrssicherheit - nicht nur für Ältere - zu erreichen, ist eine stärkere Orientierung auf schwache, ungeschützte, vulnerable Verkehrsteilnehmer notwendig. - Teilnahme am Straßenverkehr ist Ergebnis eines lebenslangen Lernprozesses. Mobilitätsgewohnheiten, die während des Lebenslaufes erworben wurden, werden auch im Alter (unter Einsatz diverser Kompensationsstrategien) zum Großteil beibehalten. - Technologische Systeme (z.B. Telematik) können Mobilitätsplanung erleichtern und (bis zu einem gewissen Grad) Verluste in Fertigkeiten und Fähigkeiten zur Verkehrsteilnahme kompensieren und auf diese Weise zur Unfallreduktion beitragen. Die Alterssensitivität der Systeme muss ein zentraler Entwicklungsbereich sein. - Es sollte eine sehr viel stärkere Beteiligung der Älteren an der Entwicklung, Einführung und Implementation von verkehrsbezogenen Sicherheitsmaßnahmen und neuen Technologien ermöglicht werden. - Augenmerk sollte auch auf "alternative" Mobilitätsformen gelenkt werden: Smart Modes (zu Fuß gehen, Radfahren). Auch die Nutzung des ÖPNV sollte dadurch erleichtert werden, dass er so "benutzerfreundlich" wie nur möglich wird. - Ältere haben weiterhin ein hohes Interesse an und eine positive Einstellung zu Lernen, Übung und Training. Dies gilt auch für technischen Fortschritt und moderne Entwicklungen bezüglich der Straßenverkehrssicherheit. - Wenn Verkehrssicherheitsmaßnahmen implementiert werden, sollten die Kommunikationsmöglichkeiten dergestalt genutzt werden, dass sie für die verschiedenen Lebenssituationen und Lebensstile der Älteren angemessen sind. "Neue" Medien können dabei durchaus in Betracht gezogen werden. Fachdisziplinen wie Politikwissenschaft, Verkehrswesen, Ingenieurwissenschaften, Raumplanung, Architektur, Soziologie, Medizin, Psychologie, Pädagogik, Rechtswissenschaften, Ökonomie und Ökologie müssen künftig kooperieren, um einen Synergie-Effekt im Bereich der Mobilitätsförderung und der Verkehrssicherheitsarbeit für ältere Verkehrsteilnehmer und Verkehrsteilnehmerinnen zu erzielen. Dabei ist eine enge, interdisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit notwendig - ebenso wie ein vorurteilsfreier Umgang der Menschen miteinander in unserer Gesellschaft.
Due to recent years accident avoidance and crashworthiness on Austrian roads were mostly developed on national statistics and on-scene investigation respectively. Identification and elimination of black spots were main targets. In fact many fatal accidents do not occur on such black spots and black-spot investigation has reached a limit. New methods are required and therefore the Austrian Road Safety Programme was introduced by the Austrian Ministry of Transport, Innovation and Technology. The primary objective is the reduction of fatalities and severe injuries. Graz University of Technology initiated the project ZEDATU (Zentrale Datenbank tödlicher Unfälle) with the goal to identify similarities in different accident configurations. A matrix was established which categorizes risk and key factors of participating parties. Based on this information countermeasures were worked out.
