Crash studies involving human subjects have increased understanding about occupant and vehicle kinematics in lower speed collisions, shown how injuries occur in such collisions, and shed light on how better seat and vehicle interior design can help reduce or prevent injuries.
Human Subject Crash Testing: Innovations and Advances includes 42 of the most important historical and current studies which used living human subjects in frontal, side, and rear-end impacts. Covering over 50 years of research (from 1955 through 2006), the book includes numerous landmark SAE papers, as well as papers from other conference proceedings. Papers were chosen based on criteria which included quality, methodology, rigor, uniqueness, number of subjects, long-term reference value, and a focus on occupant and injury mechanics.
This book also features an extensive bibliography, which contains brief abstracts of other relevant human subject impact studies that are not included in the book.
