During 2013, the accomplishment of this research study was the development of an integrated occupant vehicle model for the analysis of safety in crashes. The 2010 Toyota Yaris Finite Element Model (FEM) was used with full interior and occupant models. Three point belt restraints with pre-tension and force limiter characteristics folded driver air bag collapsible steering column, and interior components were modeled. The integrated vehicle occupant model was validated against laboratory crashes of (1) NCAP frontal test; (2) IIHS 40 percent offset test; and (3) NHTSA oblique frontal test, using either the Hybrid III or THOR FEM occupant models. The Toyota Yaris model was used for sensitivity analysis and for occupant studies with one of the Hybrid III THOR or THUMS. The sensitivity studies considered (1)impact parameters such as vehicle speed and overlap percentage (2), occupant seating positions; and (3) restraint system variations. Occupant results of the advanced THOR were compared to the Hybrid III. Injury risks have been evaluated using the detailed THUMS human model. In due course, the integrated occupant-vehicle model wil. serve as a platform for rapid modeling and future development of prototype occupant-protections designs for use in full vehicle fleet.
