Human Modeling and Simulation in Automotive Engineering

The application of numerical simulation with digital human models offers exciting new opportunities in automotive engineering. The use of human models in the areas of safety, comfort, and ergonomics can overcome the limitations imposed by the use of real humans or their mechanical surrogates, thus enabling further optimization of automotive designs. In addition, human modeling and simulation is opening the new era of virtual testing for safety assessment and homologation.

Focus Topic 2025

Autonomous vehicles will bring significant comfort benefits to passengers. However, the safety of alternative seating positions must not be compromised. Human Modeling and Simulation is currently the only technology that allows the assessment of occupant protection for new vehicle interior architectures with flexible seating arrangements.

The 11th International Symposium on Human Modeling and Simulation in Automotive Engineering aims to continue and advance the dialog between researchers, software developers and industrial users of human models. Presentations by renowned researchers, software developers and industrial users from around the world on biomechanical research, digital human models and their application in automotive engineering will guarantee a unique and highly relevant conference.
