This
work package shall include the assessment of existing accident data formats and
a review of aspects relevant to smart restraint systems. Field studies shall be
undertaken to identify real world occupant postures, both to determine
statistical trends and worst case scenarios. Further studies will be undertaken
on pre-impact occupant kinematics, to determine effects of braking,
"bracing" etc.
Together,
these aspects shall allow a better understanding of real world occupant start
positions. This information is vital in the development of smart restraints.
