| * | Abbreviated name: | ENOP | | | Project title: | Enable New Occupant Seating Positions | | | Funding entity: | Centre Européen d´Etudes de Sécurité et d´Analyse des Risques (CEESAR) | | | Start date: | March 2021 | | | End date: | June 2024 | | | Researcher(s): | Francisco José López Valdés, Jesús Jiménez Octavio, Alberto Carnicero López, Carlos Rodríguez-Morcillo García, Carmen María Vives Torres, Juan Manuel Asensio Gil, Manuel Valdano, Alessandra Porfido | | | Description: | The objective of the ENOP project is to generate reference data that can be used in the validation of HBMs and ATDs in new postures such as reclined postures and investigate new injury types, which might be expected in AV. To this end, 15 PMHS sled tests of 15 mid-sized males in five different seating positions is performed (three PMHS tests per condition, no repeat tests on the same PMHS). These seating positions include various degrees of reclined seat back and seat pan inclination angles. | | | | | | * | Abbreviated name: | PIPER_CERV | | | Project title: | Analysis of the biofidelity of the cervical spine of the PIPER human body model | | | Funding entity: | L’Inglesina Baby S.p.A | | | Start date: | June 2023 | | | End date: | March 2024 | | | Researcher(s): | Francisco José López Valdés, Manuel Valdano, Varios General Contratado | | | Description: | The objective of the study is to assess the biofidelity of the cervical spine of the human body model (HBM) PIPER for children around 2 years old.
The study will:
- Scale the PIPER HBM to the adequate anthropometry of the individuals with ages 2-4 years old reported in the paper by Ouyang et al. (2005)
- Isolate the head and neck of the HBM and reproduce the boundary conditions of the test setup described in the aforementioned paper.
- Compare the response of the scaled PIPER model with the experimental curves reported in the paper.
- Optimize the values of the material properties of ligaments and intervertebral discs of the HBM so that the response of the model matches the experimental results reported in Ouyang et al. (2005). | | | | | | * | Abbreviated name: | LesCerv_MAPFRE | | | Project title: | Prevention of cervical injuries of e-scooter riders | | | Funding entity: | Fundación Mapfre | | | Start date: | February 2024 | | | End date: | January 2025 | | | Researcher(s): | Francisco José López Valdés, Juan Manuel Asensio Gil, Manuel Valdano, Jaime Alvarez Fernández | | | Description: | Strategies to prevent cervical injuries in riders of electric scooters exposed to traumatic events | | | | |
- 2.1.1.2 Public funding
| * | Abbreviated name: | IMPROVA | | | Project title: | Injury mitigation to promote vision-zero achievement | | | Funding entity: | Unión Europea | | | Start date: | June 2024 | | | End date: | May 2028 | | | Researcher(s): | Francisco José López Valdés, Manuel Valdano, Luis Francisco Sánchez Merchante | | | Description: | Until now, the approach to road safety has primarily focused on analyzing the most common types of injuries based on road user types and crash characteristics. However, recognizing the need for a more comprehensive and proactive strategy, there is a growing consensus to shift the paradigm towards a user-centric approach that considers the specific needs (incl. their diversity) and behaviors of road users.
IMPROVA project will focus on current knowledge regarding the conditions and mechanisms leading to serious injuries of all road user types, and both physical and psychological long-term consequences as well as future scenarios regarding the overall crash occurrence considering changes due to vehicle automatization. IMPROVA will introduce a formula that will predict a likelihood of
sustaining LTC. This will allow stakeholders to estimate physical and psychological long-term consequences due to road traffic accidents in a compact manner directly after the crash. HBMs will be specifically upgraded in their capabilities to depict LTC-relevant injury mechanisms. This will be achieved through validation of mode responses against experimental tests and through the development and tailoring of risk curves, using the latest available biomechanical data. Virtual
testing procedures will be developed and demonstrated for future application environments, specifically through the involvement of industrial partners and NCAP labs.
IMPROVA network consisting of NCAPs, US, Australian and Asian entities and medical and psychological expert panel group will help the harmonization not only of the knowledge of the long-term consequences but also to harmonize the data collection, evaluation of such injuries leading to LTC and to use appropriate tools validated for this purpose. The communication with regulatory authorities, NCAPs, rescue team and end-user will enable the awareness of the topic and implementation of appropriate countermeasures | | | | |
