Konosu 1 DEVELOPMENT OF A BIOFIDELIC PEDESTRIAN LEGFORM IMPACTOR - INTRODUCTION OF JAMA-JARI LEGFORM IMPACTOR Ver. 2002 -

چکیده
The Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association, Inc., (JAMA) and the Japan Automobile Research Institute (JARI) are collaborating to develop a biofidelic pedestrian legform impactor because the current major pedestrian legform impactor, the Transport Research Laboratory (TRL) legform impactor, lacks biofidelity. JAMA and JARI have been developing a biofidelic legform impactor since 2000. This report introduces the JAMA-JARI legform impactor ver. 2002. This version has two major improvements: it properly simulates human bone flexibility and human knee joint characteristics. The above improvements are quite important for ensuring biofidelity of the legform impactor.

Development of a Biofidelic 'Legform' Impact Test Device
Current EuroNCAP test specifications attempt to predict pedestrian lower limb injury in a lateral impact with a rigid legform test device developed by the UK's TRL (Transportation Research Lab). Research shows that the measurements taken from this device (knee bending angle, knee shear, and upper tibia acceleration) do not necessarily correspond to accurate injury prediction. Recent research su...
متن کاملBiofidelity of Test Devices and Validity of Injury Criteria for Evaluating Knee Injuries to Pedestrians
In the current test procedure proposed by the European Enhanced Vehicle-safety Committee (EEVC) /WG17 for evaluating leg injuries to pedestrians, a legform impactor with a rigid bony structure is used. The risk of damages to knee ligaments is evaluated with the shearing displacement and the bending angle at the knee joint. A recent study has focused on evaluating biofidelity of the legform. How...

Although the biofidelity improvements of the pedestrian legform called the Flexible Pedestrian Legform Impactor (FlexPLI) relative to the conventional legform (EEVC legform) have been shown in past studies, their effects on the evaluation of safety performance of vehicles have not been clarified in a quantitative and comprehensive manner. The goal of this study was to clarify the diffe...
متن کاملThe Study on Developing Active Hood Lift System for Decreasing Pedestrian Head Injury
Active hood lift system has been developed to get more spaces for decreasing the head injury during pedestrian impact. This system is composed of detecting sensor, ECU where the algorithm is embedded and the pyro-type actuators which raise the hood. By this system, the rear part of the hood is raised up to approximately 120mm. The test results of system operation are introduced for each three t...
متن کاملDurability Over Time of Skin Used for JAMA–JARI Pedestrian Headform Impactor Measured by Biofidelity Certification Testing
Head injuries are the most common cause of pedestrian deaths in car–pedestrian accidents. To reduce the severity of such injuries, the ISO, IHRA and Japan MLIT proposed subsystem tests in which a headform impactor is impacted upon a car bonnet top. JAMA and JARI have developed the headform impactors in compliance with the ISO standard, the IHRA recommendation and the Japan MLIT safety regulatio...
