New Projects granted for increased Insights in Human Modeling - For safer Mobility

article imageResearchers at SAFER's partner institutions have recently been awarded grants from Vinnova/FFI for two studies on human modeling, which can be used in the development of vehicle safety systems. The SAFER Human Body Model (HBM) provides a competence platform for our partners and serves as a natural contact point for external cooperation. This virtual human substitute can predict injury outcomes in any impact situation and direction of loading. It can be morphed to replicate a large portion of the population, standing or sitting, with human-like kinematics in crash events as well as pre-crash maneuvers.
