abstract="Efforts to decrease the losses in human lifes on the roads during fifties led to an increased research into the biomechanics of head impact. A break-through was made with the introduction of the Wayne State Tolerance Curve. This curve was interpreted and a weighted injury criterion was developed. This criterion was later transformed into the Head Injury Criterion (HIC) and used in a proposed legislation to improve the crashworthiness of cars. Although heavily criticized the HIC-criterion still is the most established method to assess head injury in automotive impact conditions.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
