Pelvis injury risk curves in side impacts from human cadaver experiments using survival analysis and Brier score metrics.

Conclusion: This study underscores the importance of using impulse to describe pelvis injury criteria in lateral impacts. These findings are applicable to anthropomorphic test devices, as matched pair tests are done to determine dummy-based injury criteria/injury assessment risk curves (IARCs). Although IRCs have been developed for WorldSID, it may be appropriate to use impulse-based IARCs. Because THOR is a potential device for automated vehicle environments, it may be appropriate to develop THOR-based IARCS. The present IRCs act as fundamental human-based injury criteria. These responses can also be used in human body and subsystem computational models. PMID: 31762331 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
