Influencing factors and sensitivity analysis of occupant impact injury in passenger compartment.

Conclusions: The response surfaces of the occupant's injury parameters (HIC and TC3ms), and changes therein as the system's variables were altered showed that impact injury parameters and change thereto could be described intuitively and qualitatively. Some meaningful conclusions were obtained through the sensitivity analysis of occupant injury parameters to changes in these influence factors. The research offered a guideline for the design and manufacture of a train's passenger compartment structure. Supplemental materials are available for this article.
