Abrupt vehicle maneuvers that occur before a crash can affect occupant postures and may influence the level of protection provided by the occupant protection systems. Previous research has shown that occupant responses to ...
Evaluating an Intervention to Improve Belt Fit for Drivers
(University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Transportation Research Institute, 2016-02)
Previous studies have demonstrated that many drivers position their belts suboptimally. The lap portion of the belt is often higher and farther forward relative to the pelvis than would be ideal, and the shoulder portion ...
Quantitative Evaluation of Human Body Surface Modeling Methodology
(University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Transportation Research Institute, 2017-02)
This project addressed a range of issues relating to the measurement and modeling
of three-dimensional body shape. Two metrics were devised for comparing two body
shapes represented by surface meshes. The distance from ...
