Abstract

By accurately reconstituting accidents whose parameters are well known from multidisciplinary accident investigation, it is possible to associate force and acceleration values with injuries sustained by occupants involved in in-the-field accidents. In this study, two in-the-field accidents, their reconstruction conducted by using dummies as occupants, and their reconstruction then with human cadavers are analyzed. These accident reconstructions allow one to associate and compare accident occupant injuries with acceleration forces, injuries criteria values measured on dummies, and, on the other hand, accelerations, injuries criteria values, injuries sustained by cadavers during the second accident reconstruction.
