    Sammanfattning : Whiplash Associated Disorder (WAD) – commonly denoted whiplash injury – to vehicle occupants involved in collisions, is of worldwide concern. These injuries occur at relatively low velocity changes, typically between 10–25 km/h, and in all impact directions. Rear impacts are, however, the most common in the accident statistics. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Prevention and prediction of head and neck injury in traffic accidents - using experimental and numerical methods

    Författare :Peter Halldin; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :Head injuries; neck injuries; prevention; roll-over; motorcycle; helmet;

    Sammanfattning : Injuries to the head and neck system are potentially amongthe most serious injuries in humans, since they may damage thespinal cord. It is therefore important to develop safetysystems that can prevent injuries to the neuro- system, therebyreducing human suffering and costs to society. LÄS MER
